Emergency oral surgery...

[Jake D]

I think it is cool (cool, right? Yeah, cool) that an hour before your oral surgury you are on GStwin.com.

[Daniely]

You're going to do very well. I'm just sorry I won't be there to witness any walking into walls or doors.

don't worry. it won't be nearly as bad as havign the RR scrubbed out.  you gotta be really careful till the stiches come out which is going to be atleast a week.  get a baby tooth brush, one of the really soft ones cause a normal one can tear them open.   I guess for the next week we are going to call you chipmunk.  

Jake, drysocket is whare the bloodclot falls out of the gaping hole left in your jaw. extremly painful to say the least. wisdom teeth when fully formed will extend almost a inch into your jaw that isn't visiable under the gum.  so you basicly have all the nerves in your jaw exposed. just imagine every arm hair being pulled slowly at the same time, and you'll kinda get the idea, only it's so much worse cause the nerves are so close to your brain.

laid over, I don't know mine were straight.

it's been almost two years since I had mine out and I still have a gap in my jaw, it's closed inside but every once in a while I still get food stuck in there.

I got what I paid for, to say the least.   you know they say about dentists, they are all the ones who failed out of med school,  and the ones in the military, they were too drunk to work in college so they joined to have the govt pay for thier school.

If it makes you feel any better, I work for the company that produces most of the anaesthesia machines in the US. Hmm, maybe I should have left that for after you get done.

Don't worry, I work in R&D. I don't actually make the machines :lol:

Sucks to have something like this all of a sudden, but at least your insurance covers it and you have a way to get there (or more importantly, back home) that doesn't involve your bike.

You are probably already out the door Danny, but enjoy!

Not nearly as bad as everybody (Dave) says it is...You'll come out of it just fine.

[davipu]

hey Tony, go poke him in the cheek when he get's out.

Does your jaw look skinnier after they yank those suckers out?

And also, normally you fast for ten hours or so before surgury.  When it is unexpected like this, do you think that you pee on accident as soon as you go under?

[davipu]

they'll probably give him a cathader.  haha sucker.

[RVertigo]

I had my wisdom teeth pulled in two sessions while I was awake...  There's nothing quite like that sound.

[pandy]

Uh..yeah...now that Daniely's gone...uh..I can agree with you wholeheartedly... I'd never had anything done to my teeth before besides cleanings...no cavities, nothing...that was my first introduction to the wonderful world of horrible sounds....  

I can't even imagine why they wouldn't knock someone out....yeesh!

[davipu]

because it's more fun that way. and in case something goes wrong it's easier to deal with an awake paitent that you can sedate if needed.

[RVertigo]

I'm actually kinda mad that my dentist won't fill my last molar...  Bastard says I have to have a cavity to get a filling...

But, c'mon!  I only have that ONE left!

[davipu]

you can go down to TJ and for a hundred bucks get it done.

[RVertigo]

But...  My insurance covers it...  I just need to stop brushing that tooth. :lol:

Conversation I had with a Dentist several years ago:

Him: Dang, you're 30 and still have wisdom teeth?

Me: Yea, I only have 2 though.

Him: Well, those other two need to come out.

Me: What if I leave them in til they bother me?

Him: Well then you will have to have them taken out.

Me: Well, since my 90 year old Grandfather has 4 in his head maybe I will just wait.

Him: That is crazy!

Me: Why?

Him: Cause you could get into a situation where you would have to have oral surgery.

Me: You mean like having my wisdom teeth cut out?

Him: Exactly!!

Needless to say I didn't go back to that moron.

[Daniely]

Well bad update, or good depending on your outlook.

They arent going to do it today which sucks for me. They took more x-rays and found out they need ot take part of my jaw bone with the teeth. They are completely on their sides. They said since its so close tot he nerve in my jaw, that I need to take anti-biotics, and ibuprofein for at least a day before the operation. We are re-scheduling it for next thursday. Which sucks, I was supposed to crash a business class on thursday. Since is the first I may still be alright, and I wasnt supposed to start Cycle Gear until the 21'st which would give me 3 days to heal. I may get that sunday off and just start on Monday instead. Im going to call them tomorrow and let them know.

My teeth are still bugging me, my wisdom teeth are putting massive amounts of pressure on my other molars, causing what feels like a perpetual cavity (even though I have none). So yea this sucks, it really really sucks. But oh well. Ill have to put up with the pain for another week. They gave me pain killers though which is good, but they dont do much good. Right now im taking the rest of the day off because they prodded so much my jaw hurts. Oh well, back to work tomorrow, at least ill be up and around for another week.

[davipu]

I still got my leatherman, if it starts to really bother you.
