so yeah, i gave blood today. sort of.
4 teef ripped clean out my mouf! so the part where my whole face feels like a ski mask (mildly ironic because just a bit ago, it looked like someone murdered my mouf) is wearing off, but luckily my mouf worked enough to swallow the pain-pain-go-away pills. no thanks to my tongue who was, and still is, just lying there uselessly taking up space (makin' out would be an olympic sport right now...and it would be called makin' ouch). the inexplicable part is that i have so much energy i am bouncin' off the walls and i can't stop dancin'! bleedin' and dancin'! bloody dancin', mate!
Adventures in Swallowing Pills When Your Mouf Is Numb
By AparnoTeeth
1. get a glass of water. whaf, er? Whhhhaaaa-turrrrr.
2. tilt your head way way way way tipsy back. like you're admiring cloud forms on your ceiling.
3. smile. this is almost pleasant. then grimace because it hurts to smile.
4. pour a trickle of water down your throat.
5. feel the water seep out of the sides of your mouth and onto your "i was very brave" t-shirt.
6. try again.
7. choke on the water. *sputter sputter*
8. try again.
9. *choke + gag duet*
10. try AGAIN.
11. *sputter leak*
12. try AGAIN.
13. the pain is coming like an army on the horizon!
14. try AGAIN!
15. *cough*
...
85. SUCCESS! reinitialize bleeding sequence.
reward -- beer mug full of strawberry milk.

Oh man ... as a victim of major dental crap, I know how much you must be hurting. I hope the pain reduces soon!!
BTW, why exactly did 4 teeth have to come out of your mouf? Wisdom teeth?
Aw man, that lookths painfull. Hope you feel better soon and enjoy the pain meds.

good for you. good people give blood.
i give blood so i can eat more (bleeding burns a lot of calories).
With a mouth that nasty, you still put on eye-liner, yer a trooper. Personally, I don't give blood, I am however, an Organ donor. I figure that it will make up for my life long lack of recycling. (Organ donation being the ultimate recycling and all).GWS-Mike O
this is all fine and good, but I need you to please tell me that that isn't your tongue in the first picture...
if it is:
1) you have a long tongue
2) eewwwwww!!!!!!
yoda -- not really. my mouth is a complex piece of work. this was another 4 on top of wisdom. needless to say, i have a beautiful gappy smile now.
lisa -- thanks! i didn't get any of the good stuff, but all's fair in love and dentistry.
moonrat -- thanks for coming 'round these parts. your blog has already caught my lazy eye.
mike -- you're totally right. organs go a long way in the karmic battle.
quincy -- it's GAUZE. not my tongue. yeesh. but that would be fantastic if it were my tongue.
