Mamma mia
Yesterday I woke up with a bad pain in my lower left 3rd molar tooth. These are the most rear teeth, and are more commonly known as Wisdom teeth.
At first I didnt think much of it, but it didnt feel too nice. So in the afternoon I laid down a bit because I wasnt feeling too good. A couple of hours later I woke up, looked in the mirror and almost got a heart attack. My entire left jaw was swollen up, and my face looked like blowfish
.
So I called the hospital and explained what happened, they told me to contact the emergency dentist service. I called my own dentist, hoping that his answering machine gave me a number for the emergency service. Quite surprising, I didnt get the answering machine, but I my dentist, on the phone. I explained the situation to him, and he said well youd better get over here then , and so I did.
My dentist gave me 2 shots of a sedative, but they werent really catching on. So he gave me another shot, right next to the tooth... boy that hurt
I got sick as hell, and threw up a little in his toilet. So... after my stomach was calmed down again, the tooth was extracted, and I was on my way home again. On the parking place, I got really dizzy, and threw up even more... boy was I glad my Mom was there to drive me home
.
Anyway
a long, long night later (lots of drool and blood... yummy
) the swelling is diminishing a little... I sure hope its gone before I start my new job next Monday
