The Wisdom Teeth's Fate

Hey! Today's Easter Sunday, and I'm looking forward to not having school tomorrow. No Social and Economic Sciences, bliss... However, all is not well for me. What is wrong? My left cheek has swollen out of proportion. It is because of the terrible thing that happened Friday. Oh, I shudder just to think of it, I went to the dentist's. I feel like grossing people out since I'm so miserable right now, so I shall tell you what happened. Well, since they stuck those awful needles in my gums I didn't feel anything, and I had my eyes tightly shut the whole time so I didn't see anything, but I heard stuff (despite the fact that my earphones were plugged in)... After the dentist said "C'est fini" and went off, I lay there in that awful room, absolutely traumatisedn and not quite sure of what exactly they'd done to me. For three days now, I've eaten nothing but porridge, soup and ice-cream. The swollen left cheek is the side where the two teeth were taken out. I say "taken out" rather than "pulled out" because although the top one was yanked out rather violently (the poor dentist had to pull and twist and tug for ages before it would come free), the bottom one was actually cut to pieces. I can't open my mouth much, and it has been constantly hurting, but I've gotten rather used to the perpetual metallic taste in my mouth? And I take over 10 pain killers a day to help. I've been trying to open my mouth as wide as I can to see what it looks like in there. From what I can tell, I have two bleeding gashes at the back of my mouth, all stitched up. I can't wait until they take out my two remaining wisdom teeth on the right side this time. I don't know why they insist on taking them out before the poor things have actually come out. I don't see the point of having to cut this huge hole in my mouth, cut the tooth into 4, take it out bit by bit, and they stitch it all up again. For all of you out there who've gone through the same thing as I, I say we should all mourn for our lost wisdom teeth together.
