When I had to have my left wisdom tooth removed, I got a local anesthetic. Yes, I am one of those whack jobs that likes to be awake when someone is performing a mild surgical procedure on me. Just in case I hear, "Uh oh" I can extend my foot to meet Mr. Groin. You get the picture.
Well, the roots to that particular tooth was growing down and starting to wrap around the bottom of my jaw bone! He had to yank on it for 15 minutes to get it to wiggle out. *ouchy*
After the ordeal, he gave me another shot of Novocain and a pain killer prescription. My cheek swelled up like a puffer fish the next day. I honestly looked like someone took a tire iron to the side of my face.
To quote, 'A Christmas Story', not verbatim; I wove a tapestry of obscenities, that I think, is lingering somewhere over Lake Michigan. UGH!
