wisdom tooth extraction


I just had my Wisdom tooth extracted. 2. next week will be extracting another 2 more. Ohdear, it reminded me that im gona miss out my friend's bday celebration. sheesh! 
The picture up there is after my wisdom tooth extraction. Haven really swell that bad yet. 
I had LA for the extraction, oral surgeon says that my wisdom tooth extraction is a complex one as its very deep inside, he mentioned about breaking my bone to extract the tooth out. i can hear my heart skip abit.It cost me 1.8k for just 1 side, but its been covered by medisave.  
When you hear people said that they did their wisdom tooth extraction like its no big deal, i felt the same way at first. i dun wana noe much about it when there is lots of blood involved, i just want it done and over with. The surgeon gave me LA and he did mention that i will hear all the drilling and pulling. I can feel the anxiety when i hear the drilling. MYGOD! i jus wondered why have i agreed t go thru such thing. i kept telling myself to breathe slowly, in and out in and out. The drilling sound makes me scared and i was feeling so cold inside. I cant believe that i was trembling inside. My surgeon still can joke with me when im  at the anxiety stage! i tried to laugh abit. 
The soothing music in the room does help abit. The moment i hear the drilling sound again, i try to distract myself by thinking something else,singing song in my head and pretend that its a small and minor procedure just to make myself relax and less anxious about it. 
For a moment, i felt like i was going for a really major operation to the hospital where u have your parents tearing and you telling your love ones that its okay etc etc, just for that instant. i imagine alot actually. I will be going thru that, but not so soon. For the tearing part, maybe not. i hope i dun tear when i go for the surgery. im a strong and brave girl. ;)
And so,becuz i imagined alot. i thought about someone too. But too bad that person is not here with me. Not bad, i brave thru it alone. Anw the operation that im heading only cost about 5-8k? if its A class ward. Why in the world did i say 20k?! ohh. maybe cuz i included the braces and wisdom tooth extraction. 5k+3.6+4K=12.6k
next week going t see my surgeon for the other 2side of extraction and STO. :( dun like. 
toodles now.
