nightmare

Went to the oral surgeon yesterday for a consultation appointment... and I will need to be getting my teeth removed. My top wisdom teeth are growing in straight, but there's no room. The bottom ones are coming in at a 45 degree angle and are pushing against my other teeth. I'll be going under the knife at the end of July.

I had a dream last night that I was getting them removed. They froze my gums and injected me with something to put me to sleep, but I was still half awake and could see everything that was going on.
After waking up (in reality) I still feel like my gums are frozen. :S

I think I'll be getting general anaesthesia. They gave me a pamphlet yesterday describing the process, and I defintely don't want to be conscious when they're doing it... 4 four times.

Wow Umar. That's pretty freaky. May Allah (swt) make it easy for you. And no worries, it'll be over before you know it, InshaAllah :)

Oh yes, definitely go to sleep! It's a funny feeling, one minute they're injecting you and the next you're out. I had trouble waking up both times - the first time and the second when they had to fix my problem - I couldn't walk so they had to put me in a wheelchair. Anyways I hope yours goes much much easier than mine inshAllah .. and make sure to have plenty of liquids ready for afterwards - but don't drink with a straw :)
