It's done.

I got a call from the dentist yesterday saying someone has cancelled their appointment and there is one free slot with the specialist for today. So today I took the day off work today to go to the dentist. The specialist basically specialises in pulling people's teeth out. Mainly the wisdom teeth and the more complicated procedures. The original plan was to take one of my wisdom teeth out. I rock up and he decides that I the top and bottom wisdom teeth taken out.

I tried to get him to give me this gel that numbs the gum before he jams the needle in, but he said its of little use in most cases and in my case, no use at all. So there I was, lying in the chair, feeling all 6 needles go in. The rest was quite quick and thankfully painless (Despite the agonising pain of the needles). I was out of there in 20mins with one side of my face totally puffed so. So much that my glasses were sitting on my faces slanted.

Luckily, I got home and used the good old ice pack and the swelling has gone down now and I have yet to feel the horrible pain. Hopefully the worst has passed and I can enjoy the rest of my second long weekend. Oh and the good thing? I'm not on antibiotics so I can go drink! MAUahaUAHAUAh
