Ugh. My wisdom teeth have been bothering me for a while, and I was supposed to get all four taken out yesterday (wednesday).

It didn't exactly go as planned. My parents couldn't afford the anesthesia which would put me completely out, so I got "conscious sedation". Even less fun than it sounds.
Basically, I get medicine to help me relax (I am terrified of dentists). And then I get nitrous oxide.

It was a disaster. The medicine tasted like crap, the nitrous made me very ticklish, but kept me very awake. The whole time.

I was awake through the whole procedure. The filling was bad, but there was bony impaction on my bottom left tooth. About halfway through that second extraction, the sedative wore off and I freaked out.

The dental assistant (who speaks English as a second language) leaned on my nitrous tube, too. As I'm trying to tell her that I can't breath, she is screaming at me "Breath through your nose!". I couldn't breath and I tried to push her arm off my tube, but the other assitant held my arm down. I was like "Hoshit." I screamed and the assitants finally backed up.
They took me off of the nitrous though. So I was awake, fully conscious, and feeling EVERYTHING. They had to push my tooth out because it was trapped beneath my other molars and I just laid there and screamed. They finally brought my mom in because they couldn't get me to calm down.

Ugh. I had to be carried out to the car and into the house. It drives me nuts, being carried and not able to do anything for myself. My mum is terrified I'll collapse in the bathroom or something.

Now imagine the worst headache you've ever had, multiply it by ten, and that is how my whole head felt today. Even with Vicodin, ice packs, etc., the pain is just unbearable. And I rinsed it with salt water, like everyone has been telling me to. Oh my god. Don't ever do that! It hurts so bad!!! I feel like the stitches are coming out!!!

And I think the worst part, the part that I just cry and cry about, is not being able to eat. I just wanted to die today. There was this Wheat Thins commercial that actually made my jaw hurt, just listening to it. Then a Dairy Queen commercial. (Homg. I wish my town still had a Dairy Queen, but Starfucks bought their old facility) Then a Pizza Hut commercial. By Pizza Hut I was crying because I miss solid food soooo much. I. am. starving. All I've had today is a cup of soup broth and some juice. Waaaay less than I'm used to. I miss chewing.
