I SURVIVED!

OMG! The tools of torture were laid out before me...I wanted to scream and run when I saw this table...

They said the anesthesia would be the worst part of it...ummmm...NOT! NOT! NOT!


The almost an hour of pulling, more anesthesia, pulling some more, more anesthesia, and what felt like the ripping apart of my tooth from every nerve in my gum..was the worst part of it!!!!

If you never had a tooth pulled as a child...your going to LOVE having your first tooth pulled as an adult. NOT!NOT!NOT!
In all actuality I'm a super big baby when it comes to needles and dentists...I shook like a leaf the entire time which probably made it twice as hard for the good doctor..He did a really great job!!! His constant reminders that I was "doing great" no matter how much he was lying ..were very comforting! I do recall half way through asking him, "am I still alive"...he must have thought I was the biggest baby ever! Little does he know I have three children and 5 tattoo's and I was still deathly afraid of his little needle..ha ha..But I survived and although I was starving to death the whole day yesterday and didn't get to sleep till 3am..I made it to work today and I feel sooooooooo much better!



see back at work and the swelling is going down! Thank you Dr. Pierson and everyone at SDA!!!

GLAD YOU FINALLY GOT IT DONE, SWEETY. NOW YOU WON'T BE HAVING THE PAINFUL "WAD" OR "CHEW" EVERY NOW AND THEN. LOVE YA! :-)

BTW, YOU LOOK BEAUTASTIC, EVEN WITH THE "CHEW" :-)

Dr. Pierson is good isn't he? He did my root canal and it was a cinch (and my other 8 fillings!!). But wisdom tooth extractions just suck.

Glad it's over. Now you can go on without the pain.

huh! I felt your pain! I never liked going to the dentist for anything, each time I would go back for annual cleaning I have to take a huge breath before I push the door open, lol. Glad to hear you survived the visit.
