I've just had my wisdom teeth out. The IV sedation did very little (except make me more prone to crying). I needed a shedload of local anaesthesia and I felt the whole thing :( Oh for a general, but I didn't want to wait. I last had IV sedation a long time ago, and I don't remember it being this ineffective. I preferred the knock-out. Thank G-d I'm done with my wisdom teeth. if I ever need the surgeon again it will be for an apicoectomy and that should be less unpleasant.

My BP readings were worryingly high post-op (diastolic 100-105 which is VERY high for me) so I have to ring the GP as well.

Luckily Neil stayed home from work as I was told I wasn't fit to look after a 4 month old today.

I have just had nurofen and paracetamol and I am going to bed.

I can't open my mouth :-( Liquid diet ahoy... (I can open my mouth just enough to drink)

Neil and I have to communicate via IM, despite being in the same room, because I can't open my mouth enough to speak clearly!

Time for more (ineffective) painkillers. Wonder if I have any Diclofenac left? Why don't they give me bloody Vicodin here?! :-(
