Surgery =(

Currently on second day of recovery and am still slowly "waking up." Can't say much as I don't have much of a clear head. Have been in so much pain the past two weeks. Finally settled insurance out and had an emergency extraction. Had all four out surgically. Hated anesthesia. Don't remember a thing... was talking and all of a sudden everything was pitch black. Next thing I was waking up crying in the recovery room. Lower impactions caused my second molars to have 40% bone loss. Upper impacted teeth were too close to sinus cavity, so I had sinus sutures. Jaw bone had bone loss, so I also had synthetic bone implants. Jaw hurts. Need food, but can't keep anything down...thus stomach aches from hunger. Been eating baby food. Been throwing up whatever I eat, in addition to involuntary pools of blood seeping from my lips. Face has swelled 3x than its normal size. Cheeks are sewn into gums, so I communicate thru a pen and pad and can only open mouth for about 2 inches. I am still in post-anesthesia-shock. Also tripping out on codeine and enduring cramping caused by penicillin vk. I wanted to keep my wisdom teeth, but the doctor threw them away because he had to break them apart in order to extract them.

Trying not to fall asleep (again) so I don't miss another dosage of antibiotics (again). This kind of thing happens to everyone, but why do I have such a crappy case and feel like a bulldozer ran over my face?
