4 teeth less, and none the richer

A horrified friend recently proclaimed that I definitely have something against my teeth. oh well, maybe yes, maybe no, but since they got in the way and represented a threat they must be removed. Perhaps it's just that mine get in the way more often than others'.

8 little annoying individuals , all taken out *finally!*.

Not all at once of course, mind you, even I dare not dream of being so gungho. It 4 on the Tuesday that just passed, in addition to the 4 removed years ago to make way for my braces.

So here I am, and have been, at home for the last 4 days with my chipmunk face, refusing to step out of the house lest I scare little children to tears. hahahah. Didn't go to NDC in the end - I chickened out. Went to private dentist instead, which didn't cost that much more. But I think the dentist screwed up slightly with the LA on my right cheek, since it hurt when he tried to pull out my teeth on the right side even after the LA injections (since the jabs already hurt like mad, and mind you I felt every single one of those blasted jabs into my cheek and gums - there were a total of like, 5 per side?, the pulling shouldn't be hurting right???. Could also feel that he was using a lot of pressure again my jaw, like he was wrestling with my teeth. I was probably shaking after that, coz i could hear my teeth chattering against the metal equipment he was using to sew my gums up. Heh, I nearly decided to do the left side another day, but didn't, and thank goodness the left side was much less eventful than the right...

It's always a torture when dinner smells waft up to my room these last few days (because I know I can't eat any of it). But it's great when a creative dentist tells you that yoghurt and ice-cream and chocolate (i think) are nutritious (they are diary products after all) and there is no reason why I shouldn't be eating them at this time *whee!!!!*. Haha.. not the private dentist but one of the 3 I saw before. hahah, and best of all, Ed turned up at my house with ice cream, chocolate, boxes of Campbell soup, Vitagen and Meiji yoghurt the day I got my teeth taken out. Heh. I think I'm really easy to please man ;p

A liquid diet is a great way to lose weight, should try one day, you all... hahahah.

Anyway, heard about Andy's party, sorry I can't turn up (it's a vanity issue so pls forgive me ;P ). Hope you gals have fun, and see you all soon!
