It’s one of those days...

Where I wanted to stay in bed and not get to work. Just want to cuddle up in bed and sleep or listen to some music with earphones.

Where I want to keep a whip in my hand and whiplash those people in office who are inefficient and don’t do their work on time, cause delays and annoy the shit out of me.

When I want to just stay away from anything and everything that breathes and has life in them. I want to be left alone and not bothered.

Where Friday doesn’t quite feel it’s supposed to. Must be the weather.

Where I woke up early morning after seeing a nightmare and couldn’t get it out of my head for a while.

Where I’m hoping and praying that this one thing would work out... something I really really want.

Where I want to have a drink and just chill with a good friend.

Where things are weird... thoughts are jumbled....the world is just not right... and I’m way too sleepy.

It's been a while...

- I've been really busy...

- My mum went to India on a pilgrimage for a week and she returns tonight... It was a week of absolute bliss, peace and freedom. I felt happy and relaxed and nice..:) Definitely the best week of the year! :)

- Heard about a drink called 'Bull frog' and craved to try it. Finally went and had it with 'The Doc'. It wasn't upto our expectation.

- Then, we discovered a drink called 'the graveyard'. It's got EVERYTHING! and we loved it! Definitely going to have more of it.. You must try it. It's best at the Taj Bar.

- About a month ago, I updated my status on FB saying I miss pet love and really want to have a Labrador..and that I wish my mum would like animals...
The next day, a very good and close friend calls me to tell me he has a black male 2.5yrs old Lab and that he needs a good home for doggy as he's moving into an apartment...
Then I made my mum sit tight, and told her the story... She said 'we'll see'.
So later on, I took her and my bro to see the dog. My mum fell in love with the chubby hyperactive lovable creature. She was talking to him and petting him! yes petting him!
She said we can bring him home... but under the conditions that I take care of all his expenses and his needs.... I agreed.
SO waiting to bring him home soooooooooon!! :)

- My already heavy workload just got heavier. I got another regional account to handle. But the weird part is, I kinda like it... for now.

- As for wisdom matters, the wound has sort of healed but the pain hasn't really gone away. I still can't bite into food... Dentist says it'll take around a month or so as the empty space needs to fill up with flesh and bone... gah!

SO what has everyone else been upto?

Wisdom Matters (2)

I've been silent for over a week.. Coz I've been in excruciating pain and it still hasn't gone off completely...

Last Sunday I got up early morning and went to the hospital all ready for the wisdom tooth extraction coz I just wanted it out!

I had to wait for 4 hrs till I was taken in for the dental surgery.

I kinda liked it when I got the local anesthesia injections...it made the left side of my mouth go totally numb (obviously) and I really liked the feeling when my tongue was going numb..Can't really explain it.. but it was kinda cool... and my mum - as usual - thought I was just nuts and kept nodding...

Then I sat down at the dental chair waiting for the extraction to begin... I was told that it might just take about half an hour.... but it went on for 3 hrs! and they gave me anesthesia in the middle of the extraction coz the dose given early was beginning to wear off and I was starting to feel everything..

So back to being numb... and then I kept my eyes closed the whole time and held on tight to the chair and occasionally opened my eyes to look around and see what my mum was upto..

She was very anxious.. but strong enough to watch the whole thing.. she could feel the pain I could tell from her facial expressions..

After about 1.5 hrs, the dentist looked at me and said "I think I'll have to be warded after this procedure" and he laughed.. coz he was seriously tired and trying really hard..but the damn tooth just wouldn't come out!

Most of it was buried deep in my gum and he had to cut through all the way upto the jaw bone he said... so yes, I've got quite a bit of suturing in my gap.

So, at one point when I really couldn't bare the pain with all the pulling... I started to cry coz it was just way too much and I kept telling myself "wisdom tooth pls pls pls get the hell outta there".. and the dear old dentist would actually take a moment to get a tissue and wipe my tears, thank me for not struggling and call me a 'tough girl'..

My mum was really losing it at this point and making faces behind the dentist and I thought that she might create something like a scene out of a teledrama any moment coz she looked like she wasn't going to take any more of it when she saw me crying..

Then after a lot more digging,cutting through and pulling, the damn tooth came out... He was in shock.. it was big.. and the roots had curved the other way around.. and that's what made the extraction so difficult..

He then went walking around the dental dept teaching the nurses about it showing it to them... and there I was, with my mouth wide opening thinking 'oh pls! finish this up NOW!"

He came back, wrapped the tooth in tissue and gave it to my mum.. then called her to show the hole in my mouth where the tooth had been.. and said "look at this madam... see how big the hole is... I can park my car in there'

I saw my mum's face light up and she nodded and laughed..

Then the dentist did the suturing and told me how to take care of myself and prescribed medicine for the pain and healing..

I spent an hour in the ward.... good heavens, the pain was coming little by little as the anesthesia was wearing off... and I just couldn't take it.. I kept tugging at my mum's top telling her it was paining..and she kept saying 'bare it for a few days'..

I couldn't do anything much as the wound was bleeding too...

Then I got home... took the meds and tried to sleep... but just couldn't... For about 3 nights, I was up listening to music simply b'coz I couldn't sleep..the pain wouldn't allow me to.

The first night, I didn't even let my mum sleep coz I wanted someone to be awake as the pain was just too much to bare... she tried giving me sleeping pills, neat shots of brandy, tried praying.. nothing worked..

Then I asked for stronger pain killers and it was a little better after that...

Day 2 onwards, the face swelling started.. the entire left cheek and neck were swollen for almost 5 days... and I realised that the corners of my lips were wounded b'coz of all the equipment that went in there..

A neighbour aunty who happens to be Anglican came to see me on day 2.. When she saw my face, she was horrified! She started to pray for me... touched my head and blessed me and touched my swollen cheek too...

From that moment onwards, I told my mum not to allow anyone to come see me till the swelling went down.

So yea, now one week later.. I'm still in a bit of pain.. the wound hasn't healed yet and the dissolving sutures haven't dissolved either.. and I can't eat anything coz my cheek is sutured to my gum and I can't bite :s neither can I talk properly...

I haven't been to work the whole of last week.

All I have is Cerelac, yoghurt, milk, noodles (I just swallow it), half boiled eggs coz my mum says it good, mashed bananas and fruit juice. And I'm really sick of it now....

So yea..wondering how to get about talking to people when I go to work tomorrow... coz today I met up with a few friends.. and everytime I talked, I accidentally ended up biting my cheek and it kept bleeding little by little..

Ideally it should've healed by now... but it isn't..:S

So yea... that's what my week's been like... Very unpleasant.. very painful...and boring!

The dentist has now grown very fond of me..:) He also suggested that I get married and said he would try to find me someone from Canada coz that's where he has all his connections... and when I refused, he said "looks like you're a girl with a mind of your own. But my dear, when you meet a nice dark, tall and handsome guy, I know your story will change".. he then winked and smiled!

He also has two inefficient nurses... loku baba and podi baba as he calls them!

When he asked me how come I haven't lost any weight, I replied saying that my genes wouldn't allow me to..

He then said:
"you have good teeth my dear...that's genes"
"you have patience and you're a tough girl ...that's genes too"
"it's easy for someone to like you...that's genes"

To which I smiled..
