The Wisdom Teeth Have Been Evicted

[zavodilaterrarium]

Medication, pain, and anxiety talk

Well, they're out now. Could not tell you what they were doing in my mouth because I kept thinking they were done with a certain part but they were evidently not. The last one actually hurt through the local anaesthesia, it was strange to feel it so clearly compared to the others. Can't wait for the numbness to wear off so I don't keep worrying that I'm going to spontaneously cut myself with my own hands. My chin is itchy but trying to scratch it is scary, but also makes it itchier... lmao

Actually, the worst part of the procedure itself was that for some reason, the angle I had to lie at made my shoelaces feel too tight, and that hurt. I felt too awkward to try and bring it up with my mouth numbed to the high heavens.

The diazepam (assuming I remembered right) they gave me to calm me down made my body feel like mild pins and needles all over, and the initial wave of this sensation also came with a sudden onset of anxiety that almost sent me into a panic attack. Most of the panic wore off quickly, but I think I should never take it again. Might have to do with the other medication I'm on. Can't remember if it was ever mentioned to the doctor beforehand.
