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!!!

  1. 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...

    1. 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.

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

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...

Are you the ONE?

One thing being a gay and single is that, I tend to screen for prospective Bf, every single day, every single time a man, in the right age range walks past me. (Though the age range criteria has been relaxed most of the time) It wasn't this 'serious' in the past, my brain wasn't working like this... Now, it's getting a bit excessive sometimes. Stealing glances at random guys on the bus, in the park, around the neighbourhood, in the gym...And these glances are getting more and more 'advanced'. I know perfectly, where to scan, the legs, the butts, the triceps, the forearm, etc. I know the timing. I know where to sit on the bus so that I can have an easy access to the view. And most importantly, I acted as if I didn't care, with the cool face, acted as if I'm the least possible person to steal glances at random guys. Am I perverted? weird? desperate? Maybe it's the desperateness. With guys that I haven't met, I find myself having all the...
