(WARNING! Long-Winded Post Ahead)
These few days had been staying at home to rest (didnt even step out of the door lo). That's because I've a lower right wisdom tooth extraction on Tues 29Jul08. Purposedly arranged on that day so that I can finish going KTV and feasting first before the terror sets in.
Regret not feasting on Tues morning. Cos I only had a piece of 面煎糕 for lunch, then go NDC for extraction.
As usual, gotta wait for my turn although I've an appointment (appointment at 2pm, but only went in at 3pm). Me chose local anaesthetic, cos only remove one, thought that no need to 夸张 to go for general anaesthetic. The dentist came in and inject the anaesthetic first (grr... bitter bitter de), then I was cleaned up abit around the mouth and neck area by the nurse using wet tissues. Then, my eyes were covered up (so-called for protection of the eyes, but I can still see the BRIGHT RED colour of lights shining on me even with eyes closed. I supposed to stop me from feeling afraid from the drill and blood).
Laid for a while for the numbness to set in.
Then the dentist said... "Open your mouth bigger, Bigger, BIGGER". "Cannot open any bigger ar?"
Me mumbled... "I~~ gor~~ jaww~~ pobem~~".
Dentist..."Huh? what did she say?"
Nurse... "She say she got a jaw problem."
Dentist... "Oh! okok... you get me a mouth probe for her to bite on. Jia yee.. your jaw problem might worsen after the removal ok... are you ok?? more comfortable like that??"
Me knod knod.
Then alot of drilling, and bits of water and pump sound. And alot of pressure on my mouth/jaw/head... argh~~
Dentist... "the tooth is out already... now I stitch up for you.. you ok?"
Me knod knod.
When the stitching are done, the eye cover was removed, and the dentist gave me back the bloody-tooth-with-flesh-attached. So BIG a tooth!!!!
Big tooth after washing!!!!
Sat there for a moment before the nurse brought me out to rest.
Nurse... "you ok? can you walk? ok... you follow the nurse to go out to rest"
The people at NDC are actually quite nice. Whoever that walk passed will ask if I was feeling ok.
The nurse came and brief me on the drugs, changing gauze, brushing teeth etc.
Finally done. Paid and go to pharmacy to get medicine.

That's not the end of the story. Back home, I swollowed 2 tablets of day-pain killer before the effect of anaesthetic wear off. Was so sleepy after watching tv, I went to sleep. Bout an hour plus later, PAIN started to overwhelm me! Roar! Pain!!!! Cant sleep le! I woke, but dont dare to take pain killer again (only 3hours since the previous dose, need the final dose to last me through the night). So I ENDURE! And the wound is still bleeding. Roar! While waiting for dinner, which is porridge to cool, I laid on bed, so pain!!! Me chop chop swollowed abit of porridge and had pain killer, finally able to sleep. Bout hour plus got awoke by a sms, so I got up to check on the wound again, seem like stopped bleeding. At last good sleep.
The next morning, I had the morning-pain killer (told to be strong, can cause nausea and drowsy). Grr... was nausea and drowsy the entire day! And finally vomited after dinner. That's the last pain killer I took... sooo horrible.
