I had a tooth surgery today (my first operation ). It was in order to remove my 4 wisdom teeth, as they would cause problems in future.
It was also my first general anesthesia. At first I was scared as I couldn't imagine me fainting, but experiencing it is kinda cool...
The anesthesia doctor first inserted a 3 inch needle into a vein on my left arm. This was some sort of gateway for the medicine. At the same time, the nurse placed circular bandages with jelly at the bottom and connected it to a device to measure my heartbeat and stuff. Then after connecting this tube to the vein gateway from the bag of liquid which was hanging on my bed, I felt some strong concentration of something entering my body.... After having a short talk with the surgeon and anesthetist, one of them covered my mouth with some cloth and the next moment I was lying on a bed in my room (in hospital) lol. I'm sure many of you think it's normal, but it's my first time so thought I should mention it xD.
Anyways, now after having my wisdom teeth remove, I don't feel stupider unlike many people think, but have to keep a cooling bag wrapped around my head/cheek and I have to take pain killers etc... It hurts really a lot and I can hardly speak . Also, I can only drink and eat food like mash-potatoes, soup, baby-food (OH YEAH) and ice cream (XD). The good side is I'm being worshiped the bad one is I have to keep changing the cooling bad.... and it hurts of course.

Here's a picture... >_< yes I'm sleepy ( oh and that other person is my twin brother, he wouldn't like me posting his pix)...


Sooo now that my IB-Exams are over too, I can enjoy my free time (H). Though i still have this guilty feeling for being lazy haha
I finally opened my xbox 360 after 1 months of owning it and not using it (I mean who can survive that??).
Well, I also subscribed for Xbox Live Gold, so if anyone wants to add me (I added already many) my gamertag is -PM me-.
I have Halo3, Call of Duty 4 and Guitar Hero 3. Although I have excruciating pain, I can still rock on on Guitar Hero 3 .

Ouch indeed. My sister had her wisdom teeth out, and it certainly didn't look fun. I hope it gets better fast! I may not have to get them out at all. I'm hoping. Though I have had to get some teeth pulled in the past. Not the same, but not fun either, lol.

6 months with an Xbox 360 you can't play!? I may have gone crazy. I would add you (as my favorite games are also Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and Guitar Hero 3), but I think you already beat me to it.

I could so rock you on Guitar Hero 3. If only I had it...

damn it, typo there, I meant 1 month (the free one) but I have 12 month card too, though I'm on holidays soon, so I won't waste it.
I added you already I think, check it ^^. And by the way if you want your teeth out, do it as soon as possible, most of mine werent even touchable, and the later you do it, the worse as far as I heard.

I wouldn't risk Halo 3 or Call of Duty against you though as I haven't really started playing it xD maybe I'll do an unranked game, but don't expect me to play good hehe
Seriously get GH3 I love it and the multiplayers and online games also rock. I'm at medium right now, and it's pretty difficult already xD

Believe me. I know the awesomeness of Guitar Hero 3. My 'neighbour' in residence (like... I could step out of my room and directly into his room...) bought it the first day it came out. I played it way too much. I could do expert on almost every song by the end.

I'll probably get it at some point (best Guitar Hero game of them all), but I need money first.

It's been a while since I've played Halo, so I don't know how good I am at that now. I've mostly played Call of Duty 4 lately, but don't worry. If we play, we may be on the same team. Just practice and you'll get good pretty quickly. One of the perks of Call of Duty 4 is that one of, if not the best weapon in the game is available at level 1 (the first assault rifle). It's just about learning the maps and getting some of the extra perks.

I actually had 3 different oral surgeries in the past (one of which was wisdom teeth removal), so I can certainly sympathize with you. Enjoy milkshakes for the next few days.

I had six to eight teeth removed when I was younger (yeah, I lost count, lol) but I haven't ever had my wisdom teeth removed or been given anesthesia. I've known people that have, though, and I hear it hurts a lot. (Actually, my wisdom teeth are just coming in, but for possibly that reason I haven't been to my orthodontist lately.)

The anesthesia part sounds kind of neat, actually, except that I've had bad experiences with needles in my veins in the past. *shudders*

Get well soon.

I've had like 4 teeth removed. The anesthesia was probably the coolest part of the whole thing (hardly felt them jabbing a needle into the room of my mouth ). Then I got to walk a mile home with temperatures approaching -30 degrees Farenheit windchill Needless to say, when I arrived home, i could feel my nose running (it was warn), but still cound't feel a single part of my face

About Call of Duty 4, you won't be disappointed . I guess it depends on your internet connection and whether you experience a lot of lag or not, but if you get a decent connection, the multiplayer is unmatched imho.

__________________

I'm needing to get something somewhat identical to that in the near future, but it's surgery for my jaw. So, while I can't sympathize yet, I'll be able to in several years. You don't look in the best shape though, keep a smile on your face (hmm, perhaps that's not feasible with that facial contraption) and stick it out.

On another note, you're very close in appearance to someone I lifeguard with.

thanks for the wishes everyone

@Donut: really? lol. Well I usually wear glasses and yes I'm not in a good shape and smiling would make it much worse XD
That's actually my good shape, now it just hurts like hell :/

@Jaron: nah, it doesn't hurt during it, it just hurts afterwards >_> I didn't see the 3 inch needle they put in and I thought it was something way smaller. The sight of it makes it worse, otherwise it's like a normal needle . Well, I assume you all had local anesthesia one time, because that's like one area and they do it in sooo many situations nowadays. The general anesthesia is the much stronger one and it makes your whole body numb and you sleep. I actually just remembered.... I think the last moment before I fell asleep the sergeant put a cloth with chloroform on my mouth for a second :O! I think I fainted right when he put it :s :s chloroform is that dangerous.

@Cueball: was it local or general ? and add me on 360

@Tanks: thanks add me too plz

Local Sending you a friend request right now.

__________________

Yeah, it was a local thing in my mouth each time I had a tooth pulled, so I can identify a lot with what Cue said. I've never had the full body one, but my brother has once before, and he's going to again in a couple of weeks.

Well, that looks painful to say the least

Have fun playing on your 360 though.

I'm more of a PS3 guy myself.

Ouch. I hope you feel better by now.

No. Sodium Pentathol, ftw. I've never seen them wrap someone's head like that either. Is your dentist from the 1800's?

I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed the doctor had this frog poster on the ceiling above the chair. They gave me a shot of something and told me to count backwards from 10. I got to 9 and the frog poster started moving back and forth and then I woke up with cotton stuffed in my mouth.

Everyone told me horror stories about theirs but I had very little pain afterwards. I think I took one pain pill when I got home that day and it made me nauseated so I threw the rest away. The hardest part was remembering not to drink through a straw for a while.

well, the doctor had only this elastic net thing with 2 wet cloths around my face. My mom did the rest lol

It's the fourth day now so I hope it will stop hurting, because it hurt a lot for the first 3 days. I should've taken picture because my cheeks have grown and overblown. (I am FAT! wohoo!) I got rid of the cooling headband.

Now it's even difficult to speak. I can open my mouth only 2 cm XD which makes brushing teeth difficult. But I'm happy my mom managed the food really well <3 Spinach with cheese and omlet, soup, mash-potatoes, pudding (ate too much of that xD). Though I did use a straw several times :s :s I can't suck or blow but I can use a straw.

Another thing I can feel now are the sews in my mouth. The doctor will have to take those soon... hope it doesn't hurt.

I have an appointment with dentist in 2 months to remove 2 wisdom teeths. However they seem to be saying mine should come out fairly easily... I hope so!
