So Wednesday morning at 11:30am, 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment, I finally sat down in Dr. Merlow's chair.
After two weeks of hearing the horror stories of people having their wisdom teeth removed I was finally feeling the IV put into my left arm. I have never been given a non local anesthesia to and all I could think of was that movie where the guy is put to sleep during surgery but doesn't go all the way to sleep and feels every moment of the surgery. I actually think I was more afraid of the anesthesia than having my cute Italian doctor ripping four teeth out of my mouth.
Well after the prick of the IV, the next thing I remembered was the nurse removing the oxygen from my nose. It was over. No excruciating pain... just a lil woosy as my friend Domo walks in to take me home with a much needed stop at Smoothie King since I wasn't able to eat since dinner the night before.
I now sit on my couch with Haagen Dazs Caramel Cone, Vitamin Water and my friend Vicodin... wishing for some Baja Fresh, Five Guys, or Matchbox.

Ummmm Matchbox. I need a simple salad now and a crabcake...
Sorry you're not feeling good. I had teeth pulled last year. Not fun.
But it will be a memory really soon as the mouth tends to heal pretty quickly.
I've only had 1 wisdom tooth pulled...I remember that big ass needle goin n the roof of my mouth and wishin all kinds of unspeakable things to happen to my demon of a dentist...but I was pretty good jus a lil soreness..but my friend liquor helped deal wit that discomfort lol
Any excuse to eat some Haagen-Dazs!!
Caramel Cone is the best - isn't it?
I know the feeling of getting work done in the mouth. So I hope your feeling alot better now. ;)
You'll make it though. You're tough guy. I believe in the power of you! Keep fisting the Vicodin and Smoothie King and I SWEAR you won't feel a thing!
All I can says is AYE! for drugs. I can not do pain at all. But pulling a wisdom tooth is really bad. How you feeling now?
I love drugs. Enjoy them while they last. Btw, if you have any to spare I'll gladly take them off your hands....
