Extracted wisdom teeth (Vancouver)

All four of my wisdom teeth were severely impacted, so all but one were bashed into tiny pieces upon extraction. Unfortunately, my anesthesia treatment was not of the full knock-me-out brand, and though I couldn't feel the pain until the last tooth, I can't eliminate the drilling noises and the furious yanking throughout the entire procedure. It was like shielding my eyes from a gory horror movie. "Is it over yet? Is it over?" Also, the anesthesia made me bawl for an entire half hour after the surgery. I don't know what menopause feels like, but I'm sure this comes close.

 

Nevertheless, I'm glad they're out, and I thank my friends Heather & B for being my girly movie partners for the afternoon. Currently accepting more volunteers to hand-deliver ice cream this way. Ha ha.

 

PS. Tylenol 3s are the best invention in the world, next to profiteroles, tiramisu, and boys who wear sweaters over button-up shirts. Just saying.
