Hahah I know! 4 gaping holes. It's so gross haha. Luckily, the dentist said my risks of anything bad happening are less than 5%. He said since my sinuses are up so high I have no risk of hitting any important nerves. He said the worst that would happen would be temporary numbess for a few hours around my jaw.Quote:

My oral surgeon's name was Dr. Rog. It sounded to me like a caveman's name. I wondered if he was going to take my teeth out with an antler and a rock.
He told me to get all the stuff I was going to need before the surgery --- fill my prescriptions and buy some soft foods and an ice bag. I went to the store and got a bunch of pudding cups, jello, and soup. While I was there, I also picked up some cans of Fancy Feast for my cat. While I was going through the checkstand, the cashier asked me if I was doing anything good for the weekend.
I told him, "No, the reason I'm getting all this soft food is because I am getting my wisdom teeth removed on Friday."
He stopped right in the middle of scanning a can of Mariner's Catch and asked, "Did you just tell me, you're gonna be eating CAT FOOD because your getting our teeth pulled out?"
"Yeah, that's right. I can't go back on kibble for a week." Dumbass.
So on the day of ther surgery, the doctor explained that his anesthesia technique was called Twilight Consciousness. It wasn't a full-strength general anesthesia that totally knocked you out cold, because that takes too long to come out of. It wasn't just a local, because the patients tend to be a bit disturbed by the procedure if they are fully conscious. It was a combination. His technique used a small intraveneous dose of general anesthesia to temporarily knock you out, then a stream of nitrous oxide to keep you pretty much out until the end, then they would shut off the gas and I would come right out of it. Sounded good to me.
He put the IV needle in my arm and told me, "I want you to count backward from 100. You will go unconscious, and when you come out, this will all be over."
"One hundred. Ninety-nine, Ninety-eighhhhhhhh......."
I was out, but after a time I became aware of something happening. Some kind of motion. I thought, it must be over. I opened my eyes.
The surgeon had some kind of tool in my mouth! It looked like pliers! He was cranking my head back and forth, and twisting the pliers, and it looked like he was about to put his foot on my chin to brace for a big yank!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! "
He signaled to the nurse! She did something to the IV and all went black....
When I came out of it, the doctor explained that things had gone a bit longer than expected due to some kind of problem with the roots of my tooth being entangled with other roots. I told him, "I think I remember something about the operation." He told me that I might have regained consciousness for a moment but they got me back under. To be honest, I never felt any pain, but it did freak me out a bit.
After that, I was on some good pain meds for a few days. They knocked back the pain very well, but they did also affect my judgement. At one point I was at a friend's house, and I picked up his cat, which I knew hated me from the time I had to sit on it and give it antibiotics. I just plain was not thinking because of the pain meds, and I was holding this cat out in front of me and strumming its belly with my fingers. All of a sudden it sunk both sets of front claws right into my scalp! I was so medicated that I didn't even feel the pain, but I could HEAR the snags as the claws cut into my noggin! I was standing there holding the cat in my two hands with its two paws holding onto my head. I basically started bargaining with this cat, "If I let go of you, will you let go of me?" Somehow I talked the cat into releasing my head. That just totally took the wind out of my sails and I went home to recover.
That was the best thing i've ever read haha.Quote:

3. I appreciate you telling me your account. It's nice to hear people's stories. It really helps put my mind at ease.
Good luck with your teeth! I had some wierd moments, but it really wasn't all that bad.
I promise everyone that I will take pics of my experience. You can all poke fun of my chipmunk cheeks and such. :)
I'll even take pics of the teeth (yes, blood free of course).
