Got My Toof Pulled
Aug. 4th, 2003 03:18 pmIt was amazingly fast, amazingly efficient, and over amazingly fast. I even got to keep the tooth. Cool. It's all bloody w/a chunk of my jawbone attached to it. It only has a single thick root. The broken spot is really small compared to what it felt like in my mouth. They had a tv w/some kind of extreme dirtbikers on it, this guy faceplanted & I was like, "Damn, that had to hurt!" Everyone laughed because here I am getting a tooth pulled while talking about how some biker was in pain for taking a bad fall. Very little bleeding or swelling as of right now - I could wake up looking like the Elephant Woman tomorrow - "I am not an animal, I am an oral surgery patient". I am also starving, because when you know you can't eat, it makes it worse. The feeling is starting to come back in my lip. I've experienced something new and all my hemming and hawing and Rob's agonizing was pretty much for nothing. My props to Dr. Kevin Martin of Las Vegas Oral Surgery and his excellent crew.
