I Survived!
Posted by Ginny on April 2, 2009
Assalamu alaikum, all, well, I got my tooth pulled this morning, and it really wasn’t that bad. I didn’t even have time to drag out the mp3 player. I think that they took more time waiting on the anesthesia to numb the area than they did to actually pull the tooth.
I’m glad to have it out, though I’m a bit sore, and it’s still bleeding a little. Which I think is kinda gross, the taste of blood is completely spoiling any appetite I might have had. And I don’t even want pepsi, some water would be fine, though I am not sure I even want that. I really just want to sleep, though I have to change the gauze every so often. And it’s hard to talk because I have gauze in my mouth.
But Alhamdulillah, the Verizon FiOS guy came to fix the TV in the computer room, so I do have TV to watch. At least in here. I didn’t want to go into the living room, as I like the futon in here better, if I want to relax.
Anyway, I’m not sure about work tomorrow, if I’m still seeing blood I’ll probably need to call the doctor back, and I’m just a bit uncomfortable, I kinda feel as though someone hit me in the face. And the swelling isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it’d be. I’m just really tired now, and I wish I could just sleep.
But Alhamdulillah. That is really all I can say. Please make dua / pray for me, that the healing process goes OK, and I don’t get that condition called “dry socket” that I keep hearing about.

Salaams!
AlhamdulAllah it went well.
NO PEPSI!!!
Didn’t your dentist tell you that you cannot have any soda for 24 hrs??? The carbonation is not good for the open gum. Also, no straws, FYI.

Wa alaikum salam, they told me no straws, but nothing about carbonated beverages… But I figured that was probably not a good idea anyway. I think I’m sticking to water until the opening heals anyway… Probably the best thing to do.

asalaamu alaikum!
Make sure you just let the water trickle down your throat and try not to swallow too hard. I had my wisdom teeth removed recently. After a week, I was completely back to normal. I hope you are feeling better soon!
