I only got topical and nitrous when I had mine done. I was awake for the whole thing. Also, hi friends! I feel like I haven't had a chance to catch up with forums stuff in forever. Life's been crazy, hope you are all well.

I took my kids to the zoo this weekend and there was a gathering of furries there with tails and ears and at least one fedora. Also they were almost all moderately overweight and several were wearing those giant straightlegged jean pants things. And neckbeards as far as the eye could see. As we were walking by, the only conversation I caught was two of them talking about videogames (God of War, I believe). So I guess what I'm asking is if there was a furry goon meet happening this past weekend.

They told me the gen anasthesia would wear off over a day, my insanely drug tolerant body was fully coherent before the pharmacy even had my scrips ready. I still regret not asking him what I was attempting to sing.

My top two popped right out, but my bottoms were severely impacted, and had to be chipped out, piece by piece. I recall waking up in the middle of it, seeing the surgeon and his assistant up to their elbows in blood, laughing to myself and passing back out. Vague memories of dreaming about making spaghetti and meat sauce. The surgeon later told me that I had been trying to crack jokes during surgery. I have no recollection of that.

I got put under for mine. They put the IV in and asked me to count to ten. "1... 2... 3... Uh. 4? Is it 4?" "You've been done for an hour." "Ok." On the way home I smiled at someone in the car next to us before spitting out a mouthful of blood. Stopped at Taco Bell shortly after. It was delicious.

I didn't have a loving, supportive significant other or family member to drive me home after my wisdom tooth removals (Just a lovely boyfriend who didn't want to take time off work), so I got just Novocaine. I was fully aware through the whole tooth cracking, bone drilling adventure. The dentist was VERY concerned about having me be awake through the whole thing and warned me it could be "rather distressing". Once it was over, I stopped at the store still fully numbed up to pick up my drugs for at home and drooled blood all over the pharmacy counter when trying to tell them my name.

I've got y'all beat only because of when it needed to be done. Like squashy the top two were fine but the bottom had to be broken and taken out through the side of my jaw. Problem was they were severely impacted and the doc said they had a chance of rotting the teeth in front of them by they way they were pushing up and I needed them out soon. Problem was, this was in November and the next opening he had was in May. That is, other than one opening literally on Christmas Eve. So there I was on Christmas day with my family high as a kite, miserable and swollen. Merry Christmas to all. What kind of sadistic oral surgeon is open on Christmas eve anyway? Then again the drugs made the Christmas tree really pretty to look at.

My first two wisdom teeth were kind of an ordeal. Awake the whole half hour it took to take out two. Nothing like seeing what appears to be smoke come out of your mouth. Even without the pain, being able to feel the crunching of your own bones is pretty  20 years later the third one decides to get a cavity and it was a breeze, five minutes! It was so pleasant that I asked her to just take out the last one but she refused, saying that she's not allowed to remove them unless there's something wrong with the tooth. Bah.

The only opening they had was on my birthday, 2 days before Thanksgiving.

Wisdom teeth talk. I only grew 3, but the bottom two were hella impacted. They had to come out, and at the same time, the doctor would be snipping my tongue's frenulum - that's the lil bit of skin that attaches your tongue to the bottom of the mouth (mine was too long). Opted for twilight anaesthesia. I woke up a bunch of times during the procedure, one of the times was basically like Midniter's story. Dude all up in my poo poo with godzilla-sized tooth annihilators, leveraging against the chair, gunshot-like sounds of bone cracking. Woke up again when they were stitching together my tongue, feeling about three miles of surgical string being pulled through the sutures. I don't know if it's normal for twilight anaesthesia, but it doesn't knock me out completely - I'll wake up now and again, everything feels sped up, I can actually feel pain, but I don't give a shiiiit and will generally enjoy myself while being brutalized with scary surgical tools before passing out again. It's happened every time I've been juiced with that stuff. When I got home and had to take my first set of vicodins, my tongue was incredibly stiff from being cut up and I couldn't loving swallow them. Had to spit them out with like a pint of bloody water all over my room. By then the anaesthesia had worn off, so I had to wait like 4 loving hours until I could maneuver my tongue enough to get the vicodin down. That really sucked, but hey, extraction only has to happen once.

All 4 grew in, no problem, but got a cavity in the bottom right, so it had to go. The dentist told me he was taking the top one to match, to prevent uneven growth, so... ok? Local anesthetic, pair of pliers, and 45 seconds was about all it took, and I could eat solid food with no problem in the same day. And that, the medicines, and checkups were all of $50. Oh yeah, nationalized health insurance, babies! Oh, they presented me with the teeth, and seemed surprised that I said I didn't want to keep them. The hell, Japan?

I got mined pulled when I was 20 I think? They gave me some pills (Percocet maybe?), but they didn't knock me out. They cracked all four of my teeth. I wasn't in pain, I just heard the awful sounds and remembered wanting to fire the dental assistant because I felt my mouth filling up with blood and she was doing a horrible job with the suction thing. I then passed out at my house and when I woke up, I couldn't peel my face from the pillow because it was connected with dried blood...ugh.

Like M42- I only had 3 wisdom teeth, but they were huge and awful. I was conscious for a good minute after they declared me fully unconscious- I remember them telling my dad he could leave the room, and them strapping down my arms and legs. I ended up with crazy track marks- apparently they had to move the IV a few times since I have lovely veins. I woke up crying. Apparently that's a thing that happens sometimes. When I got home the real fun began. They told me to go ahead and take a painkiller as soon as I got the script filled, so I did. Only problem is there was nothing in my stomach and opiates make me kinda pukey. So for three days I was on a pain --> painkiller --> vomit --> pain cycle until I was so dehydrated I had to go to the ER where the Worst Nurse In The World spent what felt like three hours trying to get an IV into my lovely abused veins. A couple bags of saline and a sandwich later, I was good to go. Life lesson: never take opiates on an empty stomach.

I had my wisdom teeth cut out when I was 14. I had just had my braces removed, after having had them two months longer than initially planned. My orthodontist looked at my x-rays at my final appointment with them, and said "Uh, yeah, we can' t let those come in, or they'll undo all the work we just did." Cool. My appointment was in the middle of August. I'm laying there in the little operating room, and the give me the shot to put me under, only the nurse or whoever is just standing over me looking confused. Then another nurse comes over, and the surgeon, and through the haze of what anesthesia they've managed to give me, I hear, "The needle's bent." Awesome. So they manage to get it out, and just to be safe, they give me another shot in my other arm. When I wake up in the nook they put me in, I have a nasty bruise inside my right arm. My mum helps me stagger to the car, gets my drugs from the pharmacy, sets me down on the couch with ice packs and pillows, and then takes our ailing Shar Pei to be put down. Best day ever.

The (American) dentist seemed weirded out that I wanted to keep it and insisted on throwing it in a sterilization bag and giving it a cycle in the autoclave. I wanted to keep it because occasionally I go on archaeological digs and nothing is funnier than the face of a North American archaeologist when presented with an obviously human bone in an active excavation.

Tonight I made something inspired by, but completely unlike, Dino's lemon rice. Rice cooked with (not mixed with) thyme and lemon balm from my garden, and garlic not from my garden. It was simple and tasty.

I heard a thing on NPR a while back about how bad quinoa actually is for the environment and south american farmers and stuff. Something about how privileged Americans "discovering" it now consume significantly more than they can produce and that this once staple cheap food source is now too sparse or expensive for the original cultures to eat. That combined with the usual international trade price fuckery and shafting along with low environmental regulation allowing people to gently caress the earth to grow more as cheaply as they can. so yay quinoa I guess.

Well today I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and got the meat grinder attachment for my Kitchenaid Mixer. I then went to the store and got three types of meats (Steak rib, sirloin and chuck), as well as some onions and cheese. Tomorrow i plan on making my own burgers with ground meat from the three varieties, and add int the onion and cheese. I may even throw in a few hunks of the bacon I made a few weeks ago. I'm kind of excited at trying this!
