[SeverX13]

Ok so today i just went under the knife and had my wisom teeth cut out. the way they knocked me out was crazy haha. he put like 5 different shots in me and i was like what if this doesnt work and once he talked everything sounded like a robotic echo. i heard the rubber gloves put on adn all this talking that was robotic. but he said that if it doesnt work they have a big mallet in the back and i chuckled at the joke and i dont remember anyhting after that. my mom was there to be my DD cause once u wake up from this stuff u have no idea what was goin on. i guess i hugged the once hot nurse and kept hittin on her. and then i would swear sometimes and told them about my tattoo and all this stuff. i dont remember any of it. But after the fun was over everything started to get worse. IT SUCKS haveing them taken out. i look like a damn chipmonk and i cant eat my hard foods i love so much But anyway, iw as jsut wondering who on 6gc had them out and if they ahd any funny stories or horror stories about em


Woop woop

I had mine done at once also, but I didn't want to be knocked out because I didn't trust the guy and being knocked out for dental work just seemed, well, kinda being a pussy. (Granted I've had one cavity in my entire life, and I was 33 when I got it)

So I got a nitrous mask and a running IV of valium. It was seriously the best high I've ever had in my life. The oral surgeon guy was like "What do you drink when you're out with your friends" right when he stuck the needle in my arm. I was 19 at the time, so I thought it was a trick question, so I was like Nothing? He says "no, really, what do you drink?" and I told him Heinekin and he says "I just gave you a six pack of Heinekin" and pushes the syringe. Before he even finished the sentence it felt like a wave washed over me, and "woah" was about all I could muster through what was probably a really stoooopid grin. Then they put the nitrous mask on me, which I never did feel. At one point after they'd gotten 2 of my teeth out, the nurse and surgeon were turned away and the mask fell off of me, and I was pointing at it and laughing my ass off and they totally freaked out, afraid I'd start feeling something. I told them I didn't feel the nitrous to begin with but that I could see why people get addicted to valium. (Yes I could still talk - remember, I felt NOTHING at this point!) I even had them give me a hand mirror so I could watch them cut open my gums and pull the teeth out. Have you ever seen your own jaw bone? It's REALLY REALLY white, especially with all that blood. It was cool as hell. Way excellent.

Then they went to remove the impacted one that brought me there in the first place. It started out okay, but then, well, it was stuck. Really really stuck. They had these special tooth pulling plyers, and I swear to god the nurse AND the doc had a hold of the plyers and were pulling really damn hard - I could feel the pressure from it all the way up my face bones and through my forehead, and suddenly I TOTALLY freaked and cried like a bitch. I made them stop for a minute - seriously, I was like 4-year old crying and heaving. It was awful (although really funny when I look back on it). Of course they freaked too, worried that it hurt. It didn't even hurt. It just freaked me out or something, I don't even know why I was crying, but I couldn't help it. So once I stopped they went on and everything else was fine.

And yeah, that codine sh*t doesn't work worth a damn. You gotta just tough it out for a few days. I even wound up taking my own stitches out (they don't dissolve well if the knot is too big).
