I went for an "operation" on Thursday to pluck 2 wisdom teeth.
It was certainly a memorable experience.
Ko Harris accompanied me to Hasan Sadikin Hospital for the plucking.
The doctor is a far relative of mine but he's very scary!!

9.30am --- After I lie down on the seat, he just went about preparing all the paraphernalia and then asked me to open my mouth. (No small talk whatsoever).
All to quickly, the syringe was piercing through my gum without no warning and while injecting the drug, he asked me to relax by breathing in and out.
I heard wrongly and held my breath, ofcourse my muscles tightened and it was more painful!!
After the drug kicked in I didn't feel pain but I was aware of what he was doing such as the cutting and drilling. Midway he told me that he can pluck the other side and so while the other one is still under knife he drugged the other side. This time I let my breath out but it is still very painful.
Then the sewing up. >_<
Though I can't feel anything but I know the thread coming in and out and the tugging of it. It was indeed scary.
The other side was pretty much the same.
Total duration : 1hour.
He placed cottons over the wound and I was asked to bite it for 1 hour and half during which I cannot spit and swallow.
So begin my agony of tasting my own blood and having to swallow it.
Furthermore, there's even dried blood on my lips.

Conclusion: I cannot be a vampire, blood tasted awfully awful, not yummy. =S

When I took out the cotton, it was fully saturated with blood! Then I tried eating lunch at 2pm and it was very painful. I was so hungry so weak but my mouth was in pain biting the carrots and the meat. But there's no soft food in the house so I endure. Halfway through I even felt faint and had to lie down a while before continue with eating. After lunch, I fell asleep and when I woke up the painkiller has worn off and the true pain kicks in! It was horrible and I quickly eat the medicine.
Ate instant noodle for dinner which was very kind to my mouth and stomach =).

Day2: SWOLLEN cheeks. Super swollen cheeks. When I was brushing my teeth in the morning I felt faint again. Then I ate instant noodle again for breakfast. Good for the mouth =). I watched LOTR3 to distract myself.. Then ci icha came over and asked me to play AyoDance. Another good distraction.

Day3: Instant noodle for brunch again. Loving Indomie so much cause it is easy to eat!haha. Cheek has subside but still swollen. Can't go out looking like this. No photos too!!! My dad keep asking me to take picture and post on FB, NO WAY!!! My knee I will gladly publicise, but FACE? NOOOO, haha, I look horrible..

MY image self-consciousness is still here. Anw, masochist me, although I can't stand the pain at the peak, I'm kinda loving this whole process. Including relishing some of the pain. Crazy me. =p Still I wish to recover soon to enjoy the last strech of this holiday.

My knee is healing, I'm going to be as good as new soon ^_^ v
