The man who was "inside" me....

Last Saturday was the day I will never ever forget in my life.
The relief, the sense of calmness which comes after the pain was beyond words for me to describe. The experience was something I will never ever be able to forget.

The pain in me since the past few days (up to Saturday, of course) left me with fewer options and I opted to visit Dr. Wong. My dentist. I only visit him, no matter what as he has my whole history of accident, fractures, dislocations and other complications that has happened on my face.

So, saturday morning at 11.00 am I was at his clinic at Medan Tuanku.
First he x-rayed my teeth to assess the problem and said "well there seems to be a big hole which is causing all the pain. You have an option of root canalling or extraction. Personally I suggest extraction as you don't have much of the tooth left anyway".

So, I gave him a yes to go inside me and do his "thing".
He planned a normal extraction which will take only 20 minutes at first.
Then the whole thing developed into something more complicated and he was uttering the words I really don't want to hear from a guy with his "tool" in side my mouth. He was uttering "aiyooo", "che che che", "this is strange", "this is very strange", "its not normal".

I was confused as, obviously, I can't see whats happening. I can't even talk.
There were 3 other nurses who joined him at that point. Gosh, my mouth hole was the "main attraction" at that point.

After mich struggle, more anasthetic, struggle, blood, forceful extraction and stitches....i was finally done. All this while, I was pretty cool and didn't struggle. I was telling myself this is a lot better than what I went through past few days.

Once everything was done, the dentist explained that my roots were extra long than normal and the tooth should have only 3 roots while mine had 4! That's where the complications started. My roots were not straight, it was in L-shape!

Who cares, I'm finally free from the pain that haunted me for weeks! The bill came up to RM 500. But I know that is worth every cent I pay as his service is such.

Now, I'm eating my antibiotics and painkillers. The swelling is still there as I can't really move my cheek much. So for those who will bump into me today, remember I won't be smilling much ok. Probably I have to give you one sided smile, which happens to be my dimpled cheek smile. :) he he he .
