mwehehe! so i'm back and alive, not yet kicking though. i don't want blood gushing out of my gums.
my dentist recommended that we extract the upper left tooth first (the right one isn't giving me pains and discomfort, btw). the impacted lower teeth could follow some other time and they have to be taken out via surgery.
thursday, 130 pm, wawin and i headed off to the dentist. i've never seen someone so beautiful and so kind at the same time... i'm starting to think my dentist is an angel hihihi.
i could barely recall the last time i had a tooth extraction. all i could remember was i was wailing so loud the dentist back then was kinda imbyerna na... kinakatay na baboy... yan ang term ng mom ko sakin.
but now, syempre, mahinhin na ko, mayumi, kimi... (and a loud laugh. don't!) so i was really reserved the whole time even though my heart was pounding like hell. i told doc angel that i was nervous so she didn't show me the anaesthesia syringe and she told me to close my eyes.
2 sharp but tolerable pangs of needle pain followed, which was not that bad! yeeey! and then she had to fill in 2 teeth with pasta while waiting for the numbing effect of the drugs.
and then... came the extraction... she first loosened the tooth's grip on my gum using those various pointed objects, i dunno what the heck they call that... yeah... however painful that may sound, i don't care! 'cause i didn't feel pain but i was fully aware that something cruel was being done to my tooth. all i knew was.. tinutuklap ang ngipin kong mahigpit pa ang kapit dahil 'di pa sya tapos tumubo. darn it. and then i felt the tooth semi-dangling... argh... so she took the pliers-like instrument and vigorously pulled the tooth... syet i could feel it! only there's no pain... only a few sounds of cracking enamel and heck knows what...
so there! the tooth's gone, but she also cut off this thing she called follicle. it was a bit painful so another dose of anaesthetics was injected to my gums. and it's done!
she gave me the tooth as a souvenir. she told me i could keep all four, put it in a frame. hmm... i could put a title... what does not kill me makes me strong. hehe drama. sus ipin lang eh.
i didn't go to work last night. i'm kinda bloody and super uncomfy. i slept soundly, though! and then... today, it's not bleeding like crazy and i didn't take in my pain killer pill! yey! grabe. i consider this a milestone, promise! it may be kinda babaw... pero it IS something for me... oh wait! i have 3 to go pa pala! sows! sisiw...
here's the tooth... the darned tooth...
