The Price of Wisdom.. Say Ahhhh

Is this really the price I have to pay, if so I can well do without the stress or pain of it all. My wisdom teeth have been trying to grow for what seems now like forever, it's been so long that I can't quite recall when it first started or even fathom having them still growing at the ripe old age of 27. I've always wondered why others moan so much about their wisdom tooth and claim that it caused them so much pain because until this week that pain was a strange phenomenon to me, as each time any of mines decided to grow a bit more it was but a mild irritation which only lasted for a day or two.

On Tuesday of this week my nightmare as I now see it began, I experienced pain I have not had since a child and going through the rare pains of a toothache, you know the feeling; the kind of pain where you're not sure if it's the one tooth that's slightly shaking or if it's all. The kind of pain where your head hurts and you can't think clearly let alone muster up a smile or operate cohesively.

Sad to say I am going through that right this moment. When it started I thought okay a bit worse than previous occasions but it should calm down, was I wrong, I soon ended up swallowing as much as 5 pain killers that day, just so that I can get through my working day and sleep for a few hours. The following day I was a bit braver and sucked it up a bit more, and today bliss, a sort of weird numbness. But, it was short lived, my entire top left jaw feels inflamed and I am very deliriously considering finding a pliers and plucking all my teeth out. I have never felt such excruciating pain in forever, not even the worst menstrual cycle can compare at present.

To everyone who I have laughed at in the past or secretly disbelieved in regards to your pain suffered from your wisdom tooth/teeth I humbly and sincerely apologize.

I have slept all but 2 hours so far tonight and have probably given myself an overdose of pain meds which are now seemingly ineffective. My next step... book a damn dental appointment as soon as daylight appears and the office opens and get the infernal thing out my head somehow, because I cannot foresee undergoing a similar pain a few more months down the line.

No Sirreee....
