I have lost a part of myself today...

My top, left side, very back molar. It was extracted by the dentist. Actualy, "pulled" is indeed the best term for this process. I was scared to death, and of course it wasn't as bad as I had made it out to be, but it was not a happy thing.

I have this fear of shots. Actualy of hypodermic needles in general, I hate touching my roomie's insulin needles if he needs me to bring him one even. So that was the biggest part of why I was scared. Also memories of recovering from my wisdom tooth surgery were contributing to my massive fears.

So, I got there and he numbed me up. That wasn't half as bad as I expected, he is the best dentist at this procedure that I have EVER been to, I always feel a sting or something but with him, I didn't! Well, except for when he used the hypo-spray on the inside-side of it, i felt that a little, but those don't bother me like needles do.

After that he has me open up and says, "I'm just going to poke around a bit and see how things are." Well, what this translates into is, "I'm really about to start pulling your tooth out but I don't want you to tense up so I'm just telling you I'm poking around a bit to see how things are." And then the pulling and pushing and wiggling starts. It was horrific! The pressure on my upper jawbone was unlike anything I've felt before, it was messing with my sinus cavities greatly, quite uncomfortable. And the SOUNDS, my GOSH, it was aweful, this ripping, sucking sound. ICK. He thought he was going to have to cut it up to get it out but he finaly got it to come out. The cavity part had broken away. It was a HUGE tooth with spread roots, I dont know how he got it out.

Then it took like 6 hours for a clot to form, but it did, and now I dont have a bloody mouth, yay!

Tonight to get out I went to Books A Million with my sister. I got the second and third Harry Potter books. Yes, I admit to it, I am a fan, I own the first book - it was given to me as a christmas gift, and I own the dvd of the first movie - bought with walmart gift cards I got for Christmas. (I also got the Fellowship of the Ring special ed DVD set with those, yay!)

And now I am talking with my friend becca, whom I have not talked to in ages! I missed her much, it's good to talk to her again!

And saturday FER IS COMING TO TOWN!!! YAY!!! I miss her when I'm not there or she's not here, I love my sisters! She's bringing her friend Sarah whom I talked to last night for the first time, interesting girl. And Tuesday is becca's senior recital, so my parents will be in town. Also... Christymir will be in town tuesday!!! yay!!! All the cool people visiting us!

I may be doing a new website soon. no, not a revision to p007net, but a site for a friend of mine who wants to put something up, not sure what it is exactily, some Bible study or something. I'm just eager to do some more webdesign, since I made this site and the music department site last spring I havn't had anything new to tackle. And if mr dale stone ever gets back to me I'll be doing one for a ministry of his also. Someday maybe he'll get back to me, he's slow :)
