i got my wisdom teeth out (abridged version, i was not put under, i babysat a half hour later. long story) and i am in PAIN. also taking out the bloody mess of a gauze every hour fucking sucks. i almost yakked every time i pulled it out of my mouth. the worst part? every time i burp i taste remnants of paper towel. i need to know if anyone else can relate. this is so gross. im tired

#long story short i was going to go to the consultation then babysit #and it turns out the dentist was like 'wanna just get it done now? it'll only take a half hour'#'umm no thank u i have to babysit :) what about tomorrow?' 'really? tomorrow? you're already here!'#your tooth is already infected. you don't want to risk having to go to the emergency dentist' or something #'you don't want to have to drive back out tomorrow. our clinic prefers to do same day procedures'#like sure ok !#this was all said assuming i'd be able to handle babysitting after and the family that i work with was so sweet (albeit so confused about #it all haha)#i don't understand why my wisdom teeth removal had less recovery time and i didnt need to be put under #especially because i essentially needed a bone graft as well because of my sinuses being right next to my teeth #this isn't like a scammy dental clinic though i think there's so many stories of regular dentists trying to upsell #i did get a several hundred dollar discount on the procedure because they didn't take my insurance #only place that'd take my insurance is 2 hours away lol #my mom has a health insurance card she has to put money on every paycheck and in this instance it really worked out #bc if not itd never be taken care of #the gauze part was so hard #also the mom didnt come home til 45 minutes after i was supposed to go home and i was lowkey in agony #because the numbness wore off #and the gauze was so disgusting #i was like. so fed up i lowkey wanted to cry while building blocks with the little kid lol #ibuprofen fully kicked in as im typing this actually we r okay
