wise... or not?

Just woke up 1 hour ago... This is what happens when lessons end at 11.10am. I sleep. For 5 hours too... Partly coz' I'm sick. I'm plagued by illnesses and pain... As if the flu and sore throat aren't enough to kill, now my wisdom teeth decide to give me problems as well. My right jaw has been hurting since morning and I don't know why. Once in a blue moon my right jaw would feel a bit cramped and tight, but the pain isn't intolerable. Still, I think I'll extract the 2 wisdom teeth. What pulls me back is the scary procedures I have heard from outside sources (which means, most probably unreliable). As usual, my mum emphasized that it was 'no kick'. She didn't even realise the dentist extracted her wisdom teeth during a dental checkup. Now..... That sounds pretty unlikely, doesn't it? Whatever the reliability level of the sources I have heard from, I still prefer to prepare myself for the worse =p I know the dentist will put the patient on anaesthetics and that will probably kill off much of my pain during the operation. But I will feel the pain when the anaesthetics is injected into my gums!! No joke, that was what happened 6 years ago when I went for oral surgery. It was so embarrassing when the dentist tried to calm me down after the first jab coz' my tears were flowing. Yes, there was more than a jab even if the area to be operated on was only less than a tooth's length. He gave me 3 jabs!! I'll never forget that.... Not in my life.... That really makes me wonder if I should enter that scary room again in NDC O_O Anyway, if I decide to extract my wisdom teeth, it will have to wait until after A levels. Great. Then I will be on MC from work for at least 1 week. According to my formula, that will equate to loss of income + loss of ability to talk + loss of ability to eat good food + a lot of money spent on surgery = a big loss.

rhapsody in blue.
