05/21/2002 Entry: "The pain, children, the pain"

Two weeks ago I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed and an unnervingly large hole in my jaw repaired. Before I went in for the operation, I talked to a lot of people who had had their own wisdom teeth out, and everyone said it wasn’t so bad. Although, my operation was slightly different because it was considered “complex” due to the hole in the jaw that needed to be filled, I figured it probably wouldn’t be too painful.

But, I was wrong.

I've spent the last two weeks wavering between searing white hot mouth pain and giggly pain reliever highs. Actually, the pain reliever highs weren’t too bad, but they only last for a few hours at a time, and apparently they cause liver damage. Brilliant.

At least they’re out now, and I never have to go through the procedure again. And as long as I never have to have any kind of medical work done on me again for the rest of my life, I’m sure I’ll be just fine.

Just fine.
