things that make me feel ew

-puking blood
-spitting blood
-being unable to properly brush and floss my teeth for 3 days and counting
-feeling stitch strings coming out of my gums at the back of my mouth next to cavernous holes where even my tongue fears to tread
-having a face that looks like this:It doesn't actually look too bad in this photo--just the left side of my face (looks like the right side in this photo) is crazy puffed out and swollen and the inside of my lip is bruised because that bottom wisdom tooth was under my other tooth and they must have had to turn my face inside-out to get at it.

I actually got through the whole ordeal without crying. I felt like a guinea pig though, clip on finger, suction cups on chest and stomach, oxygen tubes in nose, IV in arm after brace is put on elbow to lock in straight. Then i'm out. 2 hours later, I struggled to return. Puke puke puke. Gravol into one shoulder, pain killer into the other. Hours later I go home, puking in the elevator (in a bag), taking combinations of Tylenol 3s, anti-inflammatories and trying to express milk because I can't nurse LB--she's back on formula and I think she's thinking "wtf, where are my boobies??!?!?!?!"

Dizzy now, back to bed. Oh, pics of hair dyed real quick:

The swelling only lasts a couple of days. Hang in there! By the way, I love the red hair.

I've heard so many stories of wisdom tooth extraction like yours, I hate to tell others about my experience.

Good job on the hair, btw.
