My Mouth Sucks

OK OK. First off, I really want to apologize! we did wim the contest! I've just been busy amd haven't gotten around to posting it. But i am going to put that off again, because tonight sucked.

I just spent the last 2.5 hours in the dentist office getting my tooth pulled, or cut out rather. Turns out you can split a tooth with gingerbread. Not crack, split. The dentist told me I couldn't have done it any better if I tried, right down the middle. And when he tried to take it out, it cracked in half....

A little history. I have a tooth decay probem. My teeth jsut literally suck. I have a filling in every one. I don't even flich at the words root canal anymore. In fact, I have such a high tolerance to pain in my gums, that if I can feel my tooth hurting, it's already going to be a root canal. I practically know how to put the novacane in my self. This is the third tooth I've had removed. The other two, at different times mind you. And both of them were a sinch for the doc. Literally out in like two minutes. I didn't use the vicodin prescription I got. In fact, my last root canal, which was in November, I told him not even to write me a prescription. He didn't.

This one....this one he said I'm gonna hurt. My wife was there this time, she saw it. He was digging and digging and ripping my gums apart trying to get that tooth out. Every time he grabbed a piece, it broke off. Lots of tools, three nurses, and alot of blood. Christina said she could see the gum was ripped up. I've never had stitches before. I have three of them right now in my gums. The Dr. said to one nurse, get me the sutures. the other nurse asked, "what are you going to attach it too?" "He says, I'll find something, I want to get this closed."
BTW, I'm in alot of pain and I'm totally freaking out by this point. They get done, finally. He sit's back and says, "You're gonna have a hole for quite along time."

And you probably think my story ends here. Well it does not! Then, then, it wouldn't stop bleeding! I sat there for an hour and it didn't stop. They changed gauze after gause, and nothing. The Dr. came back in, tightened up the sutures. No help. He stood there with his finger in my mouth pressing a gauze against the one area that wouldn't stop bleeding for 20 minutes! Do you have any idea how uncomfortable that is??

So yeah, I'm home now, I just took a Vicodin. It usually doesn't knock me out, but I have a feeling I am not going to be a very happy person tomorrow.
