so i went to the dentist on tuesday for a wisdom teeth extraction. fairly common procedure, i had no worries except for getting an IV, which the dentist told me the day before i wouldn't need, so i was straight. i knew i'd be getting some pain pills for my troubles, so life would be good.

well, i healed incrediblely fast. i ate a steak the next night. when i went to the doctor the other day and told him that he was quite impressed. i was able to smoke a few bowls yesterday and didn't get dry sockets or anything, and i was able to actually scrub the holes with my toothbrush this morning to get them nice and clean.

heres the shitty part:

my face is still numb. like my lower lip on the right side, my lower right gums and teeth, and a patch on my chin. i've been researching it, and it sounds like when he pulled the lower right tooth, he had to cut into my jaw bone a little bit, and he hit a nerve.

the damage may not be permanent, but all the info i've found online says the feeling never gets back to completely normal.
shaving sucks, i can't feel how much pressure i'm putting on the razor against my face.
drinking is weird, i can't quite tell if the cup is up to my lips or not
smoking is weird for the same reason

fuck this shit its depressing to think that i have permanent nerve damage in my face. i'd get high but i'm broke as hell and start my new job on monday, so this weekend i'll just be hanging out doing nothing with a fucking numb face
