I asked for all mine before the bone shaving and removal ceremony. The "butcher" (I'm sorry I realize he MIGHT have had a medical assistant's degree but I was on a budget) said I might "Find that traumatic." I was like, "No, having them REMOVED is traumatic, I don't see the problem."
He was like, "Well to remove them, first I am going to smash them up into teeny tiny pieces. Then I am going to dig out the roots, and some gum will come with them. Bone shaving is more of a powdering proce--"
And I said, "That is fine, donate them to science." THEN he unveiled his tray of instruments and the last thing I remember saying (until I kept waking up MID freaking removal because it turned out longer than they thought, way longer and I kept saying "I am awake I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllll----" and they shoved some more whatever into my IV.
But yeah the last thing I remember saying when I saw the tray was "Holy GOD, are you for real charging me for sedation when all you had to do is show me THAT!" I'm not sure if I passed out or the guy was just done talking to me, but either way , it was all bad from there.
My little brother drove me home. I was like, 'ISHIGHG bleeding alTHOILT, (spit, spit) mayyyggfe weant to getttt some gaaauzzzzzzzzzzze." He looked at me like I was the most heroic being on the planet but I was not that person.
That person was the husband who made me a super redneck nose smoking drill that shot smoke right down my nose and into my lungs. I did not want "The dry sockets" which I hear suck. I can tell you having all your teeth removed and bones shaved ALSO sucked but people who get dry sockets talk about it with this kind of reverential sort of horror. So I was kind of all about MINIMIZING the suck and I was fairly sure that I'd like, heal up "just fine' whatever that may mean.
I would like to say the nose smoking drill and I had some lovely times in the garage together but it was more like me limping out there going "CRUD." I mean it was better than not smoking, but it also was exactly NOT like smoking except for the cigarette part.
He tried a gravity .... first but he said "I couldn't handle it probably" so the nose smoking drill was born. I bet I could have handled the gravity .... I'm QUITE sure but I was not offered the ability to actually try it.
