Powerade saliva


At this moment I have next to me a large powerade bottle labeled Fruit Punch. What's in it even appears to be fruit punch. It is not, however. It is, instead, my blood-tinged saliva. Three hours ago I had my two upper wisdom teeth removed whole from my mouth - they were pretty nasty. Over the next couple of months I plan on spending a lot more money getting fillings and my lower wisdom teeth pulled.




Nitrous is good stuff. Made my face go numb. Then they gave me some bubble gum flavored gel to numb me for the real local anesthetic, delivered by needle. To the outside, I was fine. When he poked that needle into my soft palette, though, my eyes shot open, numb gums or no numb gums. That sucker HURT. Never really felt the teeth, though. Just some pressure, and the WRENCH that he stuck in there to get them out.




Spent the weekend at Bridget's parents' house, eating crawfish on Saturday and then hanging out on Sunday. Joe and Daisy came over (yay!) and we hung out some more. Twas a good weekend.




My mouth is starting to hurt. I may take one of my new pain pills.
