Teeth Part 2
I was in a lot of pain, but because of the local injections and the gas it wasn't in the actual tooth area. The procedure was very rough on my jaw muscles and the skin of my lips. I thought my jaw might rip free, or my lips might tear a few times, and I'm not exaggerating at all. It was a particularly stubborn tooth that had been there entirely too long and had accumulated A LOT of bone tissue around the roots.
The dentist said he had never seen this before, but the root and base area were significantly wider than the crown part of the tooth. I'm his trainer and he told me honestly that fighting that sucker out was on par with one of my sessions. He broke a great big sweat and his arms were sore afterwards. He told me that was a first for him, and he's been doing this for about 20 years.
Now I'm on percocet and antibiotics. The perc has me so woozy that I can't walk any further than the toilet and back without getting so nautious I feel an inch away from throwing up. Sitting up is even making me sick right now. So, I guess I'm done for now. I apologize for any spelling or grammar errors, but I'm not taking the time to proof read today.
