Wisdom Teeth "Part Doe"

Well the surgery was a success; I am now wisdomless. I was very nervous before the procedure, but my escort was with me, so she made it better. I remember talking to the dentist about building tunnels and bridges, and then I was OUT. I woke up a few times during the yanking of the teeth, and was thinking, man, I hope he doesnt pull out all of my teeth. I distinctly remember hearing one tooth break, and my head going back and forth as the Dr was ripping one of my teeth out. I am also an abnormality, because I had 5 wisdom teeth, or just smarter than the average Joe? Of course, they pulled the 5th one too, and conveniently charged me as much as possible for removing this baby sized tooth. I did get to keep 2 of my 5 wisdom teeth, however; I believe they are still in Z's purse so I cant give additional details.

The worst part of the whole ordeal was when I came off of the numbing feeling and out of my disorientation. Thats when the pain hit me. Note: Do not take an additional vicodin pill 30 mins after taking one, no matter what the pain. I stumbled from the kitchen to the couch and damn near took out a few lamps and glassware. Z began shoveling more yogurt down my throat and cursing me for being an idiot and then hid the pills from me.

Well it is day 4 and I am just now beginning to notice the swelling going down in my cheeks. I still can not talk very well, and I continue taking the vicodin pills to reduce the pain. I am craving any kind of meat, but still can not chew, so it is more applesauce, jello, pudding, and oatmeal for me!

Cost of procedure: $2100. My part: $770. $16.99 a month for additional federaldental insurance is a helluva deal.
