Hi there!
I registered some 5 months ago & i know its pretty lazy of me to be writing my first post now. So what encouraged me to write after all this time? Only one reason actually...
Recently i had this nightmare coming true, hmmm, yes i was forced to sit on a dentist's chair. I had this wisdom teeth, mind you, both the sides, growing in crooked directions. I tried escaping the chair for 2 years by just popping a pain killer or two but this time i got caught. My casual visit to the dentist ended in an appointment for a surgery. Now what's all this fanfare for just pulling out the so called wisdom tooth. I really didn't understand but then it was really scary.
The appointment arrived, i was shaking head to toe. Never felt so uncertain or frightened. With my mom sitting across the room trying to reassure me & the dentist bending over getting things ready for the 'surgery', the room started to spin.
The doctor gave me a shot to make my jaw numb. He started to explain the procedure & at that moment i just wanted to jump out the chair & run for the door. I felt a bit ashamed when the doctor asked me for my age on seeing me shaking so badly. So in order to save the little pride sticking on, i tried composing myself. With so much of activity going on inside my mouth i only prayed for one thing, 'God let this be over quick'.
After 50 minutes of distress and a couple of stitches, it was over. I should really accept one thing, i didn't feel a thing, no pain at all, only a lot of uneasiness though. After a long list of dos & don'ts explained (which included do not smoke for a couple of days, now who is kidding who?) i was ready to go home.
Now coming back to why i am writing a blog, you might think its because of the horrid experience i had in the dental clinic. But the truth is i have not been able to talk for the couple of the days because of the stitches! ( i usually spend most of my waking time doing only that) & so resorted to this :)
