My daddy is REALLY good at cheering me up.

Me: *at airport, got patted down* ;_; But I'm WHITE! And everybody should know better than to think that matters but I think I did and I am BAD.

Dad: Aww. Yeah, if they asked you if you had a bomb, you'd be like... "Oh yes, right here, want to see it? I got it in New York."

Me: ;v; Heehee. New York was fun.

Me: I'm scared to get my wisdom teeth out! >x< I'm afraid they'll make me do it with local anaesthesia (and there'll be blood and I'll have to swallow it) and it'll be scary!

Dad: *hugs* Well, they gave me general anaesthesia when I had mine out, and it was easy.

Me: Yeah? It didn't hurt for days and days after? And you didn't have to eat weird food, or nothing?

Dad: *still hugging* I had milkshakes, and they gave me medication, so it didn't hurt MUCH. I was older than you, like 24? It was okay, I didn't really care, I'd look in the mirror and I'd have, you know, chipmunk cheeks *indicates by holding his hands to his face* and think, hmm, is it time for another milkshake? *makes a funny Daddy Thinking face*

Me: ;_; Really? I think I need another hug.

Dad: *needs to get to work* Okay :D *hugs*

I go for an assessment of my wisdom teeth today, but I'm being a big baby about it all of a sudden. I'm sort of grumbly about the food. I hear rice is out, so means I CAN'T have the nice rice soup I was looking forward to, and milkshakes, pudding, smoothies and yogurt go in order from "eh" to "don't let it touch me." I wonder if I could have chicken broth with milk in it, or that potato soup I like...

Or ice cream...

*summons up memories of wisdom teeth coming out*

usually they consider wisdom teeth extraction to be surgery (I got all four taken out at the same time), so they gave me general... i was out before i counted to ten. completely unconscious so yay! you can always tell them that is what you prefer.

after, they give you prescriptions for pain -- GET THEM FILLED BEFORE THE NEXT DAY. i didn't and woke up the next morning in excruciating pain. remember, it's surgery, so if yours are like mine were, you're going to have stitches and such. but remember, you're gonna be knocked out, so you'll still be groggy after it happens and feeling no pain. but the next day... just get the pain meds.

milkshakes, slimfast shakes, pudding, ICE CREAM for the first few days, then soft foods until healed. so yeah, chicken broth w/milk is cool or potato soup, if it's pureed is cool. and definitely ice cream. although i wouldn't get anything too hot to eat. no good, that.

*hugs* it'll be okay. it's totally worth it, because if you don't get them out, the pain will just get worse.

Yeah, I'll have general anaesthesia, stitches, the whole deal...it is comforting to hear that I'll be out fast. I'm actually curious about that. And I'm wondering what it'll be like when I wake up, though. Is it disorienting? Do you have any freaky dreams while you're asleep during the operation? Because I can't wake up during the operation and if I have a bad dream I'll be sad... ;_;

I have a grownup to make flan and do all the work for me, and we already have some super pain meds in the house squirreled away from other illnesses, so I'm very safe. I was thinking warm tea or homemade hot cocoa (milk=nourishment), and maybe cheesecake, and canned soup...well, as long as I stay away from bagels and mochi for a while...

This is what I remember about being put out and waking up.

When they put the IV in my hand, I remember feeling a cool feeling go up my arm. I asked the nurse "Is this the stuff going in my arm?" and that was the last thing I remember until they were YELLING at me to wake up in a little recovery room.

As long as you don't have extremes in temperature - especially hot - you shoudl be fine to drink *warm* tea or *warm* cocoa. The ice cream will actually feel good, but the hot stuff... not so good.

*hugs* good luck!

You have a nice Dad ^^

If you're lucky you'll get the pain medication that makes you sleep lots. I slept like 16 hours of the 24 hours after the surgery. So the healing process seemed to have gone rather quickly. Then again, I had a pretty bad extraction and needed stitches due to the way my teeth came in. Still, I hope you get the drowsy stuff. No need to be awake those first 24 hours. By the second day you'll be a 100 times better.

YES I DO. XD

They're going to give me general anaesthesia and I'll likely spend plenty of time just sleeping that off... I'll sleep, and yes, by the second day hopefully I'll be a bit better. It does seem to differ from person to person but the worst thing that would happen if I DIDN'T get better on the second day is they'd give me lots of happy drugs and I'd sleep some more. YEY.

You SHOULD get general anesthesia...I can't imagine they'd give you local for what amounts to surgery.

I needed stitches too, but at least getting them out is no big deal.

I'd like to tell you that getting your wisdom teeth out doesn't suck, but well...anyway, it's something you only have to go through once, and then it's over and you'll never have to deal with it again.

I'm apparently going to have stitches that dissolve. So you didn't? ...that means we're old enough to have seen medical advances in our lifetime. (’Д‘)

And then they won't hurt me when I get my period, either...

well they gave ME local, very local, anesthesia and haha it felt funny when the surgeon started to jerk my tooth =_= And concerning what one should eat, afterwards i couldn't even open my damn food hole because then the toilet paper(??) they had stuck in it to absorb blood would stop touching the wound and HURT. The problem with Dutch oral surgeons is that they don't define wisdom teeth extraction so much as surgery as some sort of quick fix they apply to practically everyone once in their lifetimes (like, my tooth didn't even hurt or anything), so obviously they can't go wasting all those valuable hospital beds on so many folks can they =_= (and what if they'd start talking about porn in their drugged condition oh no!)

The second day i was doing rather okay on medication though, and it's really just the extraction experience i wouldn't want to relive. Soup should be very very edible by the way and it can even have little meatballs or tofu in it as long as whatever you eat is grindable by your tongue and doesn't require too much chewing. You'll be eating cake again in no time really ;D

I've had teeth pulled before, I know exactly how that feels. ...if you want the best dental horror story I've ever heard in English, talk to Yang down there. He's been falling all over himself trying to tell me. =_= But I have no doubt that your extraction experience was fucking painful, and those dentists are retarded!

Mm, then I can have tofu in miso soup! That's almost like sustenance!

I've decided that if I HAVE to start talking about porn while I'm drugged and crazy, I think I'd rather do it in Japanese so nobody knows what's happening. Plus, they'll notice I'm so fluent I speak it when I'm coming up from general anaesthesia and they'll think I'm really smart! Cool.

They will probably let you chose. They'll say "Local is good enough and general could make you DIE MWAH HAH HAH but it's up to you please sign this release." No one I know got general, but everyone I know was offered it.

Shandor was spitting blood for a few hours, and couldn't really eat anything but soup for a few days, but you do have non-dairy options.

You'll get through; just about everyone gets them out, suffers, and lives to whine about it. : )

I asked the doctor if I would have general anaesthesia and he said, "Oh, yeah, you're going to sleep for this." Then they made me sign a form that says something like "we might have to open your mouth so much the edge will bruise and crack and you'll look like an abuse victim", which also scares me pretty good...

I've been told dairy is also bad on the first day because of throwing up from anaethesia, but now that means NO CHEESECAKE. On the first day. Le sigh.

Chisel.

Now, now.
