So second day of wisdom teeth out. Boy, was it shit.
The instructions said to take the gauze out after day one so I did. That night I woke up probably 4-5 times to spit out mouth fulls of blood. All coagulated and shit. It was gross.
So they day goes on. My mom has to go to work but my brother is there to watch me, just in case, until she gets back. I get three fits of hiccups and I have no idea why. But it's one of the most awful experiences ever. They hurt, my mouth if filling with blood, and every time I hiccup I risk shooting blood out of my mouth.
I also feel pretty shitty. I've had very little to eat lately (maybe a cup of pudding or something) so I'm feeling quite nauseous, and getting up every few minutes to spit out this nasty blood doesn't help. I still have like no sense of balance so I'm stumbling into things, shit like that. Eventually my mom calls, I pick up, tell her about the blood, and she goes to call the doctor. She calls me back and tells me to start using the gauze again. Works like a charm. Put it in once, wait an hour or so, take it out, almost no blood. Put another bunch in, take it out, only blood on there is the blood in my mouth.
I only took two Oxycontin so far, one the day of the surgery (my mom said that I should take one before the Novocaine wore off stop the pain and one later that night). Turns out there's like some pain, but just soreness. I have to go through this whole process of crushing the pill and mixing it in with pudding or yogurt anyway so I can deal with a little soreness.
Now a funny story. I fall asleep on the couch at maybe 2pm. I wake up and the clock says 5:30 (this is an analog clock with hands). I'm like "Holy shit, I slept a lot!" I see my dog (Sadie) just snooping around me and she usually sleep in my mom's room. So I go to let her in there and she's not there. Immediately I'm a bit freaked out. My mom's not home, my brother's not home, so I go to grab the phone to call my mom. Then I check my cell phone that's on the ground. It's 5:30pm, not am. Derp.
Anyway, it's been relatively smooth sailing since then. Had some scrambled eggs last night and there's still pieces of them stuck in my mouth. My jaw is still swollen but it should go away smooth. I got enough pudding and gauze to survive an apocalypse. So overall, I'm glad the experience is almost over with.
EDIT: Oh yeah, so my mouth has a perpetual taste of blood and poorly flavored cherry penicillin. And the only thing I've been drinking is water so it's not going away.
Also, fuck you kids and Skyward Sword. Now I have to do work. Anyone who does something stupid in that thread (asks for links, posts porn, whatever) will receive my half starved, half dazed wrath of Guild.
