well, today was the day of my surgery.
i'm now missing 8 teeth!
4 wisdom teeth + 4 baby teeth that were too stubborn to come out on their own, hehe

i got home at about 4:30 (it's 7:50 now) running a slight fever and feeling pretty miserable (=

i went completely unconcious... an interesting experience, hehe
falling asleep is no problem. in fact, i barely noticed it ;P
waking up, however, was a freaky experience. coming out of such a deep sleep with blood and saliva dying to be spat up and no way of making any sound... it was frightening.
i needed so badly to spit it up and get a drink of water (i hadn't had anything to drink since 11:30 the previous night and no food since 8:30 =( ) but i couldn't say anything.

the nurses were so great, though. they knew exactly the right things to say so i wouldn't snap at them i was feeling like biting someones head off if i had the strength in my mouth.

it was very hard for me to wake up completely and that's annoying because my mind was entirely active but i couldn't make my body do the things i wanted it to, hehe

anyway, want to share similiar experiences? (=

(oh btw, the excessive smilies are because i can't smile in real life =P)

i thought about this being the anti-sig... or the sig virus... or the sig of your nightmares... but i decided that some painful rhetoric might work instead...
just kidding.

When I cut my thumb off with an axe in the 2nd grade (They put it back on) I kept touching my thumb, and I didn't notice because it was numb, and the doctors kept yelling at me. Then a doctor hit the heart machine by accident, and I was asleep, and it flat lined! So it scared the crap out of my mom, she thought I was dead, not sleeping haha!

That's what happens when you start to wake up after going under. You're still groggy from the anesthesia.

. I was even told that when I woke up half way through I was so convinced that I was standing up in the bed..like I was lying in a vertical bed...then I dozed off again. And I "flatlined" about 5 seconds after that.

When I got some teeth removed (I think it was 4) they put me under laughing gas... That stuff seriously messes you up. Everything is ringing and lights appear really different.

Wisdom teeth suck f they come in wrong. My experience ws pretty good. I followed all the post-procedures instructions, and was fine after about a week.

Aw, jeez. Why did I read this?

I have impacted wisdom teeth, so the chewing surfaces are pointing towards the front of my mouth and therefore never grew out from under the gums. The dentist wants me to have surgery, but they're just sitting there, not doing anything, so I figure I can leave them alone for a while.

I do kinda want to be put to sleep, though, if only just for the experience. Someone said that the last thing you think of when you fall asleep is the first thing you think of when you wake up... is that true?

poor Rod's mom

i don't think that's true... last thing i remember thinking was my mum was nearby (in the room a little ways down) because i could hear her voice and i KNOW after that there was other stuff going on and i was awake for it but then...
i woke up.

first thing i thought was "this is not my bed" then i looked at my IV and some blood had backed up in it and i thought "i hope that's normal" hehe

the nurse told me i could roll over on my side... or maybe i asked. and so i did and then i woke up again maybe 15mins later with blood on the pillow and a little on my hand.

anyway, enough graphic descriptions of my afternoon (=

Bah, you got it easy. It turned out that when I got my teeth inspected for wisdom teeth removal, they found a startling discovery. I had 7 wisdom teeth in total. It seriously freaked me out, because this was a major defect. The dentists said they had never seen anything like it.

On the day of the surgery, I was calm about it, but I knew it would suck. I got to the oral surgeon, and asked me what sleeping-gas flavor I wanted. I got grape, then I went under. Man, falling asleep to that stuff is plain awesome. I was under for a couple hours, and I remember waking up but not being able to feel my body. When I was able to move, I changed the gauze that was in my mouth, and blood gushed out. I was hungry, but I knew I couldn't eat anything. It didn't stop me though, so I tried to eat some mashed potatoes. Man, that hurt. I was hungry too, because the day prior I couldn't eat anything for 24 hours.

Because I had some of those freak-wisdom teeth in the back, they tore my mouth up pretty good. Overall, a crappy experience.

I had mine taken out last may. I was relatively unique, I had five teeth rather than the usual four.

They gave me some pills to take before I went in, and then they gave me a series of injections with the intent to put me under. Didn't happen. I was fully conscious through the whole procedure, but all I really felt was yanking and tugging in my mouth. By the time it was over, I had lost control of my legs, and I had to use a wheel chair to get out to my mom's car. That was interesting.

I fell asleep for a couple hours after I got home. Upon awaking, I noticed a box of Krispie Kreme donuts on the table. Needless to say, I helped myself to one, and after finishing proceeded to the bathroom to spit out the insane amount of blood that had filled up my mouth.

------------------
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

It was a blood-filled donut? Geeze, has it come to that? Bakeries filling donuts with blood? Whats next, urine in shortcakes?

------------------
The future is here, and all bets are off.

first time i got some teeth removed, i had the gas, it makes you go crazy, i had 9 removed, one baby tooth and about 8 teeth because my mouth was overcrowded, that was cool, cant remember having to eat anything.

the second time, i had two teeth at the front of my mouth in the gum, with no way of coming through, i got to go to hospital for this one, and general anasthetic is a very strange experience. yeah, you go to sleep feeling slightly wierd and high, because the pre-op drug they give you sends you a bit dizzy, then they give you the anasthetic, which sends you to sleep pretty much as soon as its been injected.

you wake up feeling pretty much the same as you did when you went under, it took me a second or two to remember i had the operation, because i didnt recognise where i was..... they didn't let me leave until i had a whole cup-a-soup, sly *******s.

------------------
Drugs & Stupidity, Tons of it.

SEVEN? oh man... that sounds freakishly weird

GBK: yeah, blood filled donuts are all the rage these days. get out of your cubicle and get with the times (=

thankfully i don't have any gauze that i have to change. i have to go into the oral surgeons office on friday and if the junk hasn't fallen out already he'll pull it (should come out easily)
i just hope i can open my mouth by then, heh.
the swelling is horrible (=

Wisdom teeth never grew up on me. And this far no teeth has been pulled from me. And I can be glad about that.

But for non-#massassians I don't have to share any of my other medical experiences.

I got my wisdom teeth removed in mid december. I didnt get put under.. i got some shots to numb the pain but not enough (I had work done on me earlier that day so he figured i didn't need it) that is until while working on the last tooth tears were coming out of my eyes because he was yanking so hard.. felt like he broke my jaw when he was done!! Then after ward he just gave an envelope full of gauze and sent me on my way. no pain killers or anything... Bad days those were..

Haven't even contemplated extraction, although I know it's pretty muh inevitable. My teeth are huge and my wisdom teeth are coming through, so it'll only be a matter of time.

------------------
Yeah, but you know what? This one, this one right here, this was my dream, my wish, and it didn't come true. So I'm takin' it back. I'm takin' 'em all back.

It's not as good as the exotic herb! Though it doesn't do that.

Hah I did that and puked right after. I got one after my wisdom teeth surgery. They had to cut my gums open in order to get to the teeth then pulled them out. I was put under laughing gas though. Sucks after waking up, staring at everyone in the lounge as they sit there, my hat was on crooked, looking like i just got beaten down and mugged. haha.

My jaw was numb 12 hours after I got my wisdom teeth removed and ended up drooling on my keyboard while I was listening to music. That was a real pain to clean up too.
