i think most of you have no idea what has happened to me. you would have known i was complaining about a toothache sometime last week, and voila! i got my tooth extracted. hooyeah, the very first operation of my life was to extract out my wisdom tooth.
the operation itself went fine. my mouth was so numb i couldn't feel anything except the pressure exerted by the dentist. i was of course very scared, this being the first surgery of my entire life. the dentist was nice enough. he kept saying things like, "you're a brave girl, elizabeth." and "you're doing great!" half of me was glad he was saying all these things, and the other half wished he would talked to me like i'm a sixteen year old, not a ten year old. i think i lost quite a lot of blood. i could feel a lot of squirting at the other side of my mouth whenever he drilled into my gum. he stitched it up, and then it was over.
i got home, and was perfectly fine for the first half and hour. then the numbness was gone, and the pain seeped it. it was horrible. i felt as though my jaw had been torn out. i tried to sleep, but all i could do was writher in pain and agony. i paced back and forth in my living room, wringing a towel, hoping that i could squeeze away the pain that was eating me up. i prayed, i prayed so hard for the pain to stop. but it didn't.
my mother was the one that saved me. she made me lie down on the couch and told me to force myself to sleep. it took four hours for that to happen... but i finally managed to get some rest. my mother was really sweet. she took out the mattress and slept with me in the living room. so did yuki. i have a wonderful family :). well, almost. my sister came home and she woke me up, and then the pain came back. i couldn't fall back to sleep after that.
for the past two days my routine has been like this: wake up, go toilet, drink water, sleep. the wound is now swollen, and i look like i have a tennis ball growing inside my cheek. i am unable to swallow food without pain, and am unable to chew. now i only can drink soup via a teaspoon.
now yuki is known as ookie. i can't pronouce the "yu".
oh the agony.
