So yesterday, I had my upper wisdom teeth removed and I am in so much pain. I had to wait in the waiting room for almost two hours, which drove me crazy because getting your teeth pulled is something you don't want to wait for. You just want to get it over with so you can deal with the pain and move on. I asked them to put me under anesthesia because when I had my bottom wisdom teeth taken out it literally scarred me. I had to hear everything and my teeth were fully grown in. In order to take out the teeth they had to crack the teeth before they took them out. Can you imagine being wide awake hearing the doctor practically chiseling away at your teeth. Not so pleasant. It took me four years to give in to get my top wisdom teeth taken out and I went to a different doctor. He reminds me of this bad guy from Lost, old looking, big nose, but he was very nice. I was asleep for most of the surgery, but woke up towards the end after the teeth were out, thank goodness.
Being home has been nice even though I'm a great deal of pain and my face is swollen. I had an ice pack wrapped around my face yesterday. Sure it was difficult to breathe, but the cold ice pack felt amazing on my swollen face. The medicine I'm taking makes me extremely loopy and the doctor said while I am on it I can't drive.
All next week I will be in training and I will be rowing twice a day. I am hoping that I will be fully healed and recovered by then. As of right now, don't know if that will happen.
