Today at around 4pm, I'm having one of my lower wisdom teeth extracted. It's a fairly simple procedure but the Jill is terrified of needles and spit suckers. However, G seems to be taking it worse than I am (My friend underwent a similar procedure and he was never the same afterwards!), so if only for his sake, I have to put on a brave face :)But one major drawback of the process is being limited to a liquid diet for 2-3 days or until the stitches heal (whichever comes first). So by 4pm today, I should have already tucked in a Big Mac Meal, 2 slices of cake and a plateful of pasta to tide me over during those days of deprivation. Grand plans I know, but it's for my own good so I'd better persevere. I will not give up. Go me!

don’t worry about it. you don’t really have to stick to a liquid diet (especially if there’s really good food right in front of you). you still have the other side that’s fully capable of chewing solids. Ü i was eating oishi spicy seafood curls the day after my two lower wisdoms were pulled out. Ü
yikes. (don't forget the twister fries with the big mac.) heheh.
Tell me about it. I've been constantly rescheduling my own wisdom teeth extraction (I have two teeth that need to go, can you believe that? Or else I have to wear braces daw, cause all my other teeth will collapse or something. Weird.) I hate anesthesia (sp?), that high piercing sound that comes out of the dentist's gadgets, and of course, that annoying vacuum "spit" cleaner. Tell me about your experience and I might decide to take braces na lang, haha.
char: i'm on an "anything cold" diet :) so it's cake and ice cream for me :)
mud: wasn't able to eat big mac :( the first thing i'm going to do after i'm all healed is to have that with the twister fries of course
melmel: surprisingly, it wasn't as horrible as i thought it would be. anesthesia is now my best friend :) the dentist applies a topical anesthesia first before the injection so you hardly feel a thing. promise.
i used to be really scared of the dentist until i found a dentist who had a very light hand so to speak. putting a topical anesthesia before the injection helped a lot too.:) why do you need stitches? god, the thought makes me cringe in pain already! hope you're feeling better now dearie! *hugz*
back in high school, i used to be "the dentist's clinic expert" because having had to wear braces and having had to have a number of teeth fixed and some extracted, i was at the dentist every single week. grabe, i could already operate the "gadgets" on my own. yeah, it's not really that bad, is it?:)
i hope you got to have twister fries na.:)
