I could never marry a dentist.

You should skip this. No, really.

I am sick with worry. :( I think I will have to have my wisdom teeth pulled. I will find out tomorrow for sure, but I'm 95% sure I will. I HATE THIS. I hate it more than you can imagine. Pain is fine, the pain afterwards is fine. But I DO NOT want to feel teeth yanked out of their sockets. I will be knocked out or it's no go...but I'm still deathly afraid of waking up in the middle. I'm probably over-dramatizing this, but I have issues with things of this nature. I've only broken a toe and the thought of breaking anything bigger sends me into shivers. I've never had stiches. Thread is not supposed to be used to SEW UP SKIN. It's not right. I am so nervous. By tomorrow, when I know, I might be close to having a nervous, sobbing fit.

I'm also wondering when some people are going to graduate high school.

5:40pm: The above statement apparently hurt someone's feelings because he felt it was directed at him. I thought it was very "un-cool" of him to announce this in my journal, and maybe it was very "un-cool" of me to say it. But it WAS NOT entirely directed at him. Yes, some of it was, as I'm sick of the stupid l33t speak and retarded antics. Man, I'm such a snob, but I don't care. I suppose I should, but I'm in no mood to start censoring myself. Alas, it seems I have to. I should either just use this journal for random crap or delete it altogether as it's not a "journal" in any real sense of the word, but a way of keeping tabs on your friends. Which is all fine and good...I just hate that I even have to have friends groups. (Talk about high school.) I guess when you get right down to it, I'm a bitch. I could have not said that, even though it's been on my mind for the past week. I knew he was going to think it was him, even though it's about a few other people as well. No, no one on my lj-friends list, so don't worry. It's very hard to ride the line between honesty and just being an asshole. Do you want to know how I feel, or do you want a piece of candy? I know some of the fault lies with me, as it didn't NEED to be said, especially so publicly...but christ, it's not like I called someone's Mother a whore. Perhaps I shouldn't read someone's journal, for his good, and mine.

I'm very excited about APE (more so about hanging out in SF with friends) but I can't shake this nervousness, dammit.

IF ONE MORE FUCKING PERSON WALKS BY MY CUBICLE, I'M GOING TO SCREAM AND HIT THINGS. Don't they know I'm trying to update my journal?! PFFFFF. ;)

Foo. I'm going to lunch. I'll edit this crap when I come back.

I disobey you

I skip entries a lot, but when people say that I probably should I DEFY THEM!

I had my wisdom teeth pulled four or five years ago, it was awesome. I think it's standard practice to be anes..anae..anass..
knocked out. But there was really no pain during or after, just a little fuzziness like being woken up suddenly or being slightly drunk. There was many a wad of bloody gauze, though. You'll be ok :)

Maybe I'm a more accepting of such things because I've been broken, torn open and knocked out many, many times. Thas wy im so dum.

We can start a club for people with no wisdom teeth. We can serve kool-aid and rice krispie treats at our bi-monthly get togethers, after the minutes and before the open forum.

DO NOT READ THIS!!!!

Yes, but some people just get local anesthetic (spelling be damned). Those people are NUTS.
I don't want to feel ANYTHING until it's over. I don't want the feeling of something being ripped from my skull. Nope. No sir. Pain, I'm fine with, but I get the heebie-jeebies thinking about body parts being broken or pulled out.

All of my surgeries took place when I was a baby or very little, so I don't remember them. I do remember a giant pink mouse named Snorky. He was the mascot for Stormont-Vail hospital I believe.

I try very hard not to break bones...except my toe.

I gathered up $2. Now I have 4 tacos and finally get food today. Yesiree.

This club, does it meet at the same place as the Dum Klubb?

The Dum Klubb slipped my mind

[haddob.livejournal.com]

I guess that's only appropriate.

I was fully knocked out when I had mine taken out, I think it depends on how far your wisdom teeth have grown. They crack them into little pieces and pull out them out bit by bit ;)

I know they feeling you're talking about. My grandmudda had cataract surgery a few months ago and was just under a local, and that creeped me out. It's YOUR EYEBALLS MAN!

I'll break your legs if you think it would help you prepare. Do not decline this offer, because I've just dismissed two large Italian men to California. I told them to look for a Topekan, and they both exchanged knowing glances and said "One of THEM, eh?"
Then they cracked their knuckles and drove off.
If you're really adament about being able to walk for the next four months just call the bigger one "bed wetter" and tell the other one that "there is no doggy heaven."

Ha! I've a disguise!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

It includes pink frilly panties, a banana, and....some FLANNEL! Yeah! Flannel! Cause you live in SEATTLE! Get it?! ;) See, I am the President of the Dum Klubb.

You never fail to make me smile, even when I feel like the biggest heel in the world.

Eyeballs, don't even get me started. I'd have trouble putting in and taking out contacts.

This is the same reason pregnancy is so damn scary to me. It's a body, GROWING INSIDE YOUR body! So alien.

Oddly enough, I think I'd be interested in being debiltated for a few months.
Thank you!

Wait...you said they CRACK your teeth.....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!*wheeze wheeze*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!*faint*

Re: Ha! I've a disguise!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I just noticed I spelled "debilitated" wrong.

[savvyscribe.livejournal.com]

Ooohhh... I loved my wisdom tooth experience, and I wasn't completely knocked out.

I have HORRIBLE dental anxiety. SO my dentist prescribed two valium - one to take the night before the surgery and one the morning of. When I got there, they gave me a shot that didn't completely knock me out, but just made me unaware of what was going on. When I woke up, not only did I feel no pain, I didn't remember a darn thing about that morning.

The recovery was a cinch.

:)

Oh my

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I just talked to a co-worker who said they went to the hospital to have it done! If that didn't sound so expensive, I go for that.

Oy...I'm such a pansy. But it's not the pain! Dammit.
;)

Re: Oh my

[savvyscribe.livejournal.com]

You're not a pansy. It's normal. :) Just stress to them that you get horrible anxiety, panic attacks, etc. Tell them that you've heard of dentists prescribing valium and see if they go for it. My dentist in Orange County did it and then my dentist in San Jose did it, so it must be fairly standard?

:)

Thank yoooooou

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I will also stress to them that I will surely have anxiety afterwards and maybe I should have some extra valium. ;) heheh.

i've got wisdom teeth poking through as i write; teeth which will have to be removed at some point as my mouth is far too small to accomodate them (i had 4 adult teeth pulled when i was 13 to remedy over-crowding). now, i am not the bravest gal in the world, but i've no longer a fear of the dentist. i actually quite enjoyed having my teeth yanked- feels more like having them pressed in than pulled out. don't know how similar/dissimilar wisdom teeth would be.
one more thing... i would advise getting local anaesthetic, and perhaps something to calm your nerves, rather than the general. any time one is put completely under there are certain risks, and i would avoid it unless completely necessary.
when i was 8 and told it was time for my first filling, i was sick with worry for the week leading up. when the dreaded day arrived i was beside myself, so was given some red liquid on a spoon when i arrived. i couldn't tell you what it was, but suffice it to say it loosened me up enough that i requested a mirror to watch the dentist as he drilled my tooth! :)

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Risks? As in the dentist feeling me up, or as in medical risks?

Eep.

Heh, I've had ALL of my molars filled. (I, um, like candy. A lot.) But I still absolutely detest having that done. It's the sound and feeling of the drill that I detest.
