Wisdom tooth Out!!!

Thank god that the surgery went smoothly. 

Took a cab to the surgery as I was running late, as usual... 

Was feeling very nervous. Had my earphone plugged in, could hear the chat between the surgeon and the assistant but wasn't really listening. Wasn't really listening to the Bruno Mars i was playing either. Kept praying the whole time. 

Should be three little glass tubes of Anaesthetics. Ten mins later, the real thing began. 

I could feel the surgeon pushing really hard. Like how you use a scoop, push it hard into the soul and scoop the plant out. 

It only took about ten mins for it to be taken out. Bottom left. 

I knew it was over when I could feel the stitches touching my lips. There was absolutely no pain throughout the procedure. 

I was told to get nurofen plus. Unlike nurofen and nurofen advance, this is kept by the pharmacists. Prescription was not necessary but u can't get it on the shelf. It has got the usual ibuprofen, and codeine phosphate which is going to be converted to opiad once ingested? 

And I got to continue antibiotics keflex 500mg for four times a day for five days. Took two an hour before the surgery. 

Still biting on the gauze. Still got blood oozing out. Head feeling a bit heavy probably due to the anaesthetics. 



By the way, I'm surprised with the presence of many bloggers on twitter!! And guess what? I am following the legendary sgboy01 now!!!

    How come the procedure of the wisdom tooth extraction sounds painful and difficult? You described the dentist have to push real hard and used 3 tubes of anaesthetic? Need that much?

    My wisdom tooth extraction was fast and efficient. No pain, no blood oozing out afterward and this is Sydney you're talking about. LOL...

    Bloggers on twitter is not a new thing. You only join now that's why you didn't know. Hehehe...

      Virtually everyone I had spoken to told me about their scary/unpleasant experiences. You're the first to say the opposite! You didn't have to take painkillers after the surgery? It could be due to individuals' differences, with the position/angle of the wisdom teeth.

      the surgeon said my bottom right wisdom tooth might have to be cut into half to be taken out, because of the size and the angle

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
