my wisdom left me...

2 days prior all my christmas parties/celebrations/reunions, i had this, removed. as a kid, i never looked forward to going to our dentist. i hate it when the dentist uses her lil scalpels, or whatever they're called, as she pokes around my teeth. i cringe at the thought of having my tooth filled with pasta as it always leaves me a feeling of "ngilo". i made up endless excuses to avoid having my braces tightened. i don't fear dentists personally, in fact i liked a couple of 'em guys, but i'm digressing. i just don't want the thing they do with my teeth.

10 days ago, my wisdom tooth decided to make its appearance, and what a pain it was, literally! hehe! i actually feared of being ponstan-dependent until the pain started to go away. although the pain has left me, the dentist still insisted that we schedule its removal since i was gifted with very big teeth, thus leaving no more space for lil ol wisdom tooth to grow. so yesterday, Dra. Eileen de Leon -Bello, successfully removed my wisdom tooth. i was never a public-crier, if there i such a term. people have probably seen me shed a few tears or so but never that wailing/whimpering type, until today. with eyes fully closed and tears continuously streaming down my face, i was whimpering like a child as she pulled my teeth in this and that direction to loosen it. when after 20 mins have passed, plus a couple of saliva and blood here and there, i was free. ha!

now, i'm just hoping ang praying that i don't end up as Tim Tan did, with popeye cheeks, because of the netlogic xmas party that is coming up on thursday and the other parties that will follow. surrounded with my ice pack, ponstan, lugaw and dreyers vanilla ice cream, i'm hoping i'll be well enough by then.. now for more sleep and rest! =)
