The last few days have really sucked for me. Wisdom teeth extraction is actually one the things lowest on the list of things that have gone bad actually. Ugh. I just wanted to share my latest victory, post-wisdom-teeth-extraction:

Two days post-wisdom teeth extraction, swelling is way down and I’m already eating solid food!

And to think last time, it took about 4 days before I got to that point (it was mostly the waiting for the swelling to go down before I could manage to chew properly). This time it’s been 2 days. Yay!

I got the two wisdom teeth on the right side taken out today. The dental assistant went and made sure that they were playing a new movie for me, since I was going to be in the chair for such a long time (Night at the Museum, for anyone who is interested in what I saw). I was there for three hours, mostly because of the bottom tooth (really badly impacted, apparently it’s one of the “best” worst impacted wisdom teeth that my dentist has ever seen. I guess that’s something, right?). Bottom tooth was done first, badly impacted and involved some scalpel work and a lot of suctioning of blood (meep). It came out in several pieces, same as my left impacted (bottom again) tooth last week. The top one came out with little issues, but the dental assistant (they switched out) suddenly went “Oh my God” while she was holding onto the suction.

And it freaked me the hell out. Like, did they screw up? Did the x-ray not show badly mutated roots for that tooth? Did the tooth have tentacles or had teeth (lol) and was coming after them?

After splitting up with my sisters yesterday, I met up with my friends (J and S) at Waterfront Station in Vancouver. Our first move was to go from Waterfront Station to Yaletown-Roundhouse Station as the wait for the train was not that long and it’d be a bit faster than walking.

There was some interesting entertainment while my friends and I were waiting in the line-ups. People dressed in gold, silver and bronze were living statues. The gold statue was a skier, I’m not sure what the bronze woman was (possibly figure skating, sans skates?) and silver was a snowboarder.
