Epitome of Miserable-ness

The past few days, I have been utterly miserable. Today I am MISERABLE.

My lower right side gums started to get really sore around Thursday and by the weekend it was so painful I could barely open my mouth. So today I went down to the dentist and as expected it was my wisdom tooth causing problems. What I didn't expect was that the upper wisdom tooth was aggravating the problem so that had to go as well. I was actually supposed to make another appointment for the surgery but as it so happened, one of the other patients suddenly postponed her appointment so I could do it today. So I had both my right side wisdom teeth removed and so the right side of my face is now numb and swollen. Actually the anaesthsia is starting to wear off so it's starting to hurt a bit. Ok. More than a bit.

Anyhow. The surgery itself was quite ok. Injected my jaw was loads of anaesthesia and it was numb within seconds. The upper wisdom tooth came out easily enough. He actually managed to yank it out whole. The lower one had to be drilled into bits before he could pick out the pieces. Then after that he gave them to me and told me to go home and glue it back together... -_-"' So diao-ded.

So I am going to be the most miserable person in the world today. Forgive me if I snap at anyone. I don't handle pain very well.

On an interesting note? After I took a dental X-ray, the dentist showed me something quite curious... I apparently have an extra but undeveloped tooth buried in my lower gum near my incisors... Wonder why it's there.. Maybe I'm one of those people who had an undeveloped twin.... O_o
