so yesterday i finally went to get my wisdom tooth out!
and dearest was kind enough to bring along ginseng soup for me to drink but it was too hot so i cldn't drink it before the op
now, i shall talk about the process

i think my dentist is the best one i had so far
and its not because she has the same surname as me, she's Dr Zhou of new life dental surgery
but its cos she reminds me of what we learn in school and that is to explain what you are doing to the patient before touching the patient
before starting, she explained the procedure, how many jabs i'll be getting which is 4 by the way and what i will feel after the jab
so first she cleaned the tooth, put some cream around my right lip and inside, near the tooth area before she gave the jab.
by then i already feel super numb alr
then during the op, i basically feel nothing except the nasty construction site sounds and the grinding of the tooth
and then she split my tooth into half and took out one half at a time
then in 15 mins, i'm done :)

so i bit a gauze and went out, my lip feeling like its hanging out due to the numbness but i checked the mirror it looks fine. no sensation on the cheeks and this will last 3-4 hrs
i took a painkiller before the op alr and my next painkiller dose is 24 hrs ltr so in between if i felt any pain, i've got to rely on good ol panadol
it didn't stop bleeding until about 5pm

and now, i dun feel any pain! really surprising cos i expected myself to be in such great pain that i wldn't be able to study and yet now, i can even go without painkillers and i've stopped mumbling alr
the only bad thing is
i've got to eat soft food and stay away from hot and spicy food
meaning i got to wait for the porridge to be cold then i can start eating and yday i was so hungry. i only had that bowl of porridge for the entire day
but caryn's super nice, she went to geylang at around midnight just to get me the yonghe tau huay that i wanted

thanks bud bud, u're the best la haha

before the tau huay came, i was just telling her that my whole mind is full of food and its so depressing
and now i'm on a liquid-form diet- porridge for both breakfast and lunch and i wonder wad's for dinner
my maid is so smart, she took all the leftover mandarin oranges and made it into a juice for me :)

oh ya i brought home my tooth! haha i wldn't post it here cos it's bloody. haha

thanks vincent, jm, mash, caryn, joyce for your concern :D
love ya all!
