Had my surgery to remove my left-bottom wisdom tooth today. It was quite traumatic because of the complications my tooth had:
i. It was horizontally impacted, so more difficult to remove
ii.The roots of the tooth were curved, so couldn't just pull the tooth out straight
iii. The roots were very close to a nerve, so there were chances of bruising it during extraction.
I think I shall spare you most of the details, and I'm just so relieved its over!

Thank God for ANAESTHETICS!
And thank God that I haven't had much pain so far ever since the anaesthetics wore off. Took only one pain-killer so far as precaution, and haven't had to take any more since yesterday. Hopefully that's a positive thing (or is it a sign that my nerve is damaged, hence I can't feel the pain?)
The right side of my face is swollen from the surgery, and it's expected that it will reach its maximum size on the 3rd day - which is tomorrow! Yikes. NO... I will not post any photos of it here! Hahaha..
Can only manage to chew small amounts of food at a time on my left side, and have mainly been eating oats & porridge for my main meals. Am supposed to be on a soft diet. Though I must add that I sneaked in an ice-cream yesterday 2 hours after lunch 'cos I was hungry... and ice-creams are SOFT... hahaha...
Please pray for speedy recovery & no further complications (like infections... Eek!!)
