My · Life

Today was a painful day. First my sinuses have been bugging me for the past few days and my jaw has been sore for the past couple days. Today I noticed slight swelling and told my mom about it. She made an appointment with the guy who took my wisdom teeth out, so I got checked out of school at 10:45. We got called back pretty quickly, but then they made us wait in this tiny room for a long time until the doctor came and looked in my mouth. He said I had gotten some food stuck under my gum and that he would have to get it out. He told me that since my mouth was so tender, he'd have to give some numbing stuff. Then he let me sit there for about a half-hour thinking about the shot and the pain and all that. So he comes back and gives me two shots that hurt like Pluto. Then I sit for another half-hour with my tongue feeling really weird and tingly until he comes back to get the stuff out. It hurt so bad when he was getting it out that it brought tears to my eyes. The numbing stuff didn't help as much as it should have. It was horrible! And he put some thing under the gum where the food was to make sure nothing else got trapped. I have to go back on Friday to get that taken out. So that was my painful day. The only good thing about it was that I got out of school early. I really don't want to go to school tomorrow. I just want to rest for a day and try to get my allergies under control.
