Hi! Here I sit now. My right side cheek is swollen and I am in quite much pain yet. You may guess...The Operation Wisdom Tooth, oh yes. And part II. I went to the upstairs of the local health center when the time was right. I had to wait for some time, but then the surgeon himself called me. I stood up and left. We shaked hands and went in. Soon I was in his chair.
"I kill your sense of pain now. Here comes the first shot" he told me. And soon I felt something inside of my mouth. "First one in" he told me. And indeed, soon enough I felt my right cheek began to swollen.
"It is getting swollen already" I told JK meaning my cheek. But he was not worried at all. I was not worried either, I knew this would happen.
"All right, now I put the second one" he told me. And yes, he put another shot to my lower jaw. "It is in" he told me. And indeed, I felt something funny in my face. But the pressure sense was there. Of course I was a bit worried. Then a bit more waiting, one more shot and...operations began.
"Which side first? Front or back?" I asked as well as I could. "Front first" JK told me. "Aww...I feel something" I told him. "Do not worry, this won't hurt" he promised me. He twisted and turned and..."It is out" he told me. And indeed, I felt how one of my lower angle teeth left. I can not tell the exact location, but it was near it.
"Now to that wisdom tooth" JK told me next. And indeed he did something...and yet more something. "All right, now it is time to stitch the wound" he told me. I was relieved. I knew I'd make it through. He stitched it well and wrote me 2½ days off sick. Then we shaked hands once more and I left. I hurried to Dad's room and gave him the paper JK had given me. Then I hurried to the elevator. "I must get home soon, I must get home soon" I panicked. Why? Because usually the pain killer stuff JK used and all the dentists use...it makes me dizzy. But this time I did not get dizzy or sleepy. I tried to get sleep come to me but it did not before the pain killer stuff began to wear off. "Aw man, I just can not live with this!" I thought, when the time was almost 4 PM. "I will break the rules, but I must get one pill Ketorin...it makes this pain go away". And indeed, after that one pill the sleep came to me and I got some rest. I was relieved. And when I woke up, the Ketorin had kicked in and I was almost painless.
Now to the knitting part. I have a cardigan on needles. It is meant to someone...I do not know the owner-to-be's name, but I hope it will be a girl. The cardi has so girly colors. 2 different shades of red. Aw man...I think it is pretty, even I should not say that. Best: Pirjo
