Woah...
after being in pain for the whole nite.. finally for once... I dont feel those pricking kind of pain.. :/

Went to the dentist... went in... he took ONE look at my teeth and concluded:
Dentist: This kind, you only have to extract it out. That's the only way.
.............................................
He stood there.. waiting for a response from me....
Looks like I dont have any choice either.
Pull it out..or bear with the pain..and for my mouth to rot.....

Me: Is it going to be very painful?
D: No..
Me: Is there any side effects?? Swollen?? Anything??
D: No..
Me: How much?
D: $45
Me: How long will it take?
D: 10min...

*silence*

Me: ok loh....
Out goes mum to wait for me outside... and there i was... panic all over my face.....
Fear crept in... lost... wonder... everything you can imagine...
I closed my eyes.... prayed a prayer...
God..may your peace come over me right now... and let it be a painless thing...
I prayed...prayed.. prayed..
D: Open your mouth....
Me: Aaaaa......
Some anaesthetic was injected into my tooth...
D: Rinse your mouth..
Me: *rinse rinse*
*wait.......... while he prepares his "tools"....

D:Okie.. 6 hours it should be fine... Bite on the cotton for 1 hour. After that if no more bleeding, then you can just remove it...else..change a new cotton. If its painful... take the painkiller.. else... its fine. The wound would take about a week to heal... and your ulcer also about a week...
Me:.... God.. let it be just 3 days... I dont need a week to heal...

D: okie... I'll be using some force to pull it out...
You'll feel the pressure... just that no pain..
Me: uh huh....
*Pulling.. extracting... pulling.. struggling...*
Me: God.. faster... let it be done soon.. and not painful....
Just before I wonder how long more....
Dentist: Okie.. bite on it....
Me: *Bite..
D: Okay. done.. Here's ur tooth... pointing to my bloodytooth on the tray...
Amazed.. Woah.. thats fast... and that's a BIG tooth with the root!!

Out i go... paid my $45..and left.....

WOah....

Then I went reaching out with my mum... she reached out to her fren with her CG mate...
Aunties..so its just kopi @ Ya Kun and I sat there reading my "Heart Ablaze" by John Bevere.. :)
Nice book!! :D

After they were done... we went to Tamp IKEA.
Cool place.. walked around..shoped around... had Poached Salmon... Mum gave me her small piece of Fried Chicken that was in her Laksa...
Walked the 1st level... then to the cashier...
Then the not-to-be-missed HOTDOG at $1!!! Yum yum...
Had a hot dog... a drink.. for only $1.70!! Cool!! :)

Then while we were going back... my grandaunt called. She stays at Pasir Ris.. and was going to Yishun.. woah.. free ride home.. hehe.. yeah..

So.. was on the car.... they were talking.. and something she said struck me...

Grandaunt: Woah.. you very eh sai hor?
Me: Huh??
Grandaunt: You extract tooth still can shop like that??
Me: Blur.....

There and then... i really thanked God..
Was I supposed to be half-dead? Dizzy??? Or whatever??
I dunno leh.. never extract tooth this big before... haha...
And... was i supposed to rest???
Ehh... it never occured to me also le...
I only know i was bleeding quite a fair bit initially...
but after i started eating.. i was fine le... Eerrr...

Really.. God's grace and protection!! :D
Praise the Lord..that I dont have to suffer violence and extremes.. ahaha..
For now.. I do feel a little dizzy.. perhaps.. i do need a rest.. and i can feel the impact of the dentist pulling hard at my tooth... errr.. bleah..
It doesnt feel good.. a bit funny... like my whole teeth falling out.. hahaha.. Mmm..

Someone also commented that... he's amazed with what I did and the nothing much i felt..
Err... Am i blessed or what?? heheheh.. :)

Well.. shall have an early nite... :)
