Well, Friday was the day I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and everything went pretty well. Going in, I was pretty worried as to how much pain I'd be in, and truthfully, I never should have been worried at all. The pulling of the teeth was painless (considering they gave me about 15 shots of novocaine!) and the teeth haven't caused me that much discomfort. I've been able to eat solid foods and they're feeling pretty good! Now my throat on the other hand...
When the dentist was pulling my teeth, he noticed a growth on my throat which didn't look right. He said that since I was already frozen up, he thought he should go ahead and remove it, so I said OK. He snipped it off and then cauterized my throat so it wouldn't bleed. Then he stitched it up. When the novocaine wore off, I had a sore throat like you wouldn't imagine. And also, it constantly feels like I've got a straw stuck in my throat. It's pretty uncomfortable, but hopefully it will get better soon. And hopefully, the growth isn't anything to worry about - the surgeon is sending it to Kentucky for a biopsy - he didn't seem too concerned about it, so I'm not going to worry about it - I learned my lesson wasting time worrying about my teeth!!
