One week later...

Well...here I sit at the computer...roughly one week later from my widom teeth extraction. At about this time last week I was being hooked up and knocked out...LOL. I am still sore...still on soft foods...mainly oatmeal, mashed potatoes, and frosties. I still have gaping holes in my mouth and the memories of the whole ordeal are way too fresh in my memory. BUT....the important thing is that it is over!

I have to say that "Third Molar Extraction"...better known as getting your wisdom teeth removed...is something that I am glad you only have to do once! I had a doctor appointment last Wednesday (the day after) and my doctor said that I might be sore for weeks...WEEKS!!! Drugs are my friends...I love them! I told my doc that I had this strange memory-type dream that I woke up during the surgery and it had really freaked me out. He said that more than likely I DID NOT wake up but was instead having an hallucination after they started to wake me up.

HALLUCINATION?!?!?!

I don't know...but it makes sense. I had a baby tooth pulled once because it wasn't disolving right so I think my mind may have used that memory plus the mix of my fears, anxiety, and drugs to really freak me out. I do remember laying there...trying to come out of the drugs...trying to get my mouth to form the word mom and crying...I think I was so glad it was over that I was emotional and just let it all out. I am sure they think I am crazy or something. :)

But fortunately it is all just a "distant" memory....LOL...

Now all I have to get through is going back to the dentist to get a small cavity filled...which...if you know me is going to cause more anxiety than going in for surgery!

Oh....to be normal...and not have anxiety about the dentist....what a perfect world it would be!
