The pain was no joke!

Last Friday I went for oral surgery. Which I myself didn’t predict that to happen. It all started last Wednesday when I went to the dentist to cabut gigi; my upper geraham that is. So the doctor checked and told me that the exraction won’t be as the usual way, but through surgery instead. So I firmed up my decision and kuatkan semangat to have the surgery done.

Pejam celik pejam celik.. Friday had finally come. Ern accompanied me that day since her office hour starts at 1.00 pm.  9 am we went for breakfast at warung borak2 just the opposite road from the clinic. Then, after the breakfast, we went to the dentist and at that time it was still early and no other patient was there. The staffs were still busy cleaning toilet and etc.

So first.. I went to toilet to brush my teeth and yak yak.. ya lahh.. biasalah.. Butterfly in stomach..nnt once it started cannot go to the loo sudah. And of course must clean my teeth first before the doctor start digging all her utensils in my mouth.

The anesthetic

3 injections for the anesthetic and it successfully made my mouth numb. I cried during the first injection.

I was scared to death that I hold the kakak’s hand tightly.. after all it just only the beginning. After numb, they x-ray my teeth first before starting the surgery. At this point of time, I was really scared that I couldn’t help but crying and asked the doctor whether I can hold ern’s hands during the operation. The doctor is so nice that she let ern in and asked me to be tough.

The cutting

I could tell that it had already started the moment she asked me to shake my legs and breath. Cause I can feel the blood coming out but there was indeed no pain. i don’t know how to best describe my feeling but the experience was horrible. I cried again during the operation. Not that I was in pain, but knowing the fact that they were actually cutting off your gum was really made me scared. Enough by just hearing the sounds of the equipment I guess.

The operation went well and the climax was when I almost swallowed my own teeth. I could tell that they were actually trying to push my teeth out since both kakak n doctor were at the same time asked me to shake my legs again and breathe harder. Then the tooth fall off.. I remember I heard the doctor said, jangan tertelan gigi.. and she asked me to bend over and said.. okay.. operation done.. and they asked me to kumur all the darah..

The stitches.

I’ve never expected that they will jahit the gum and was shocked when the doctor asked me to lie down again. Then she started sewing my gum like a sewing machine. 6 stitches and done.. before it’s over they gv me pills and tampal kapas to avoid bleeding. The experience was really horrible and will not forget it the rest of my life.. the last place I want to go is the dentist.
