Well I don’t know if there’s anything in the world more painful…but if there is I don’t want to know about it! The following is not for the faint hearted…but read on!

I went to the dentist’s yesterday to get 2 wisdom teeth removed. I’ve said it before and I thought I’d never say it again, but I NEVER WANT TO EVER DO THAT AGAIN! Last time was in belshaft, while I was in norn iron and I said I’d get it done in hospital, totally knocked out next time…

It’s not so much the pain, though the deep needles in the gums and roots before hand were not enjoyable, it’s more the feeling, the taste, the sounds and the thoughts. You know what’s going on. You can see the instruments he picks up, you can hear metal grinding on teeth, the teeth gnashing against each other, teeth braking, roots giving way, you can feel the force he is putting down on your mouth and the amount of force he is using to pull, you can taste the blood trickling down your throat…I almost fainted due to my fast breathing, so I asked “I think I’m gonna faint, is that ok?” the dentist just told me to breathe slower… once the 2 scum bags were out (and my gums sewed up), he showed me the bloody teeth (complete with pieces of gum still on them) and bits of bone that “came out with them”, I was almost sick as he showed me and explained what he had just done…

So it’s no blowing my nose for 2 weeks (which means no riding!!!) due to the possibility of infection and no strenuous exercise. Bum. Of course once the physical pain is over, the wallet comes out…
