Oral Surgery revisited

Okay, so most of you (the three readers that I have) are not aware of the fact that one week and one day ago, I had oral surgery. That, in case you were wondering, is otherwise known as 192 hours. Or, better yet, 11,520 mins., or you could even say 691,200 seconds full of absolute pain in my life! I mean, it HURT!! Now, I knew that it would not be an easy process, but I had NO idea it would be a near death experience. They did not tell me that. They just told me that it was, and I quote "a simple dental procedure that could lead to mild discomfort for a few days". They are liars. It was not simple, at least not on my end, and it damn sure was not mild discomfort, and obviously (see above) it has not been just a few days! It has been 691,200 seconds and counting for God's sake! haha!
I guess I should explain what I had done. It was called a Gingival Fiberotomy which is dental terms for "hurts like hell". Anyhow, basically the gist of it is that they go in and numb your mouth up by shooting numbing stuff weak enough not to even affect a fly into your gums, and also straight up into the roof of your mouth. Yeah, I know. Then they want to ask me if I am okay...no. I am not. But, with two sets of hands, a sucky thingy, and one very large drippy needle in my mouth, I just look the dentist in the eye and say "uh-huh." I just wonder if they ask that just because they know you cant actually talk anyhow, and you dang sure cant cuss them like you want to...i think they do it just for their own personal joy. Just a theory. Anyhow, once she got all the shots in she IMMEDIATELY began peeling the gum back and cutting these fibers around my teeth. These fibers act like rubber bands, but not just your average everyday rubber band..they are smart, and they have memory. Yeah, i know. weird, but its true. So, if you have bad teeth, like I did, and have braces to correct them then sometimes these little prodigy rubber bands remember where they use to be, and start pulling the tooth back to that spot, without even asking permission. They are little rebels too I guess. Anyhow, after that happened to me and I had braces put back on AGAIN to fix the problem, and then had them off again, it started to move AGAIN. So they told me this was the last resort, and it was nothing, really. WRONG. It was something alright! haha
She explained to me that these genius fibers are small, tiny tiny things that she would sever, and then they couldn't pull the tooth back. Kinda like instant Alzheimer's for the little buggers I guess. Anyhow, the small tiny tiny fibers that she described to me felt more like 2 inch copper wire being cut under my teeth, it was like a big SNIP...and then another, then another. Sometimes I guess they didnt want to let go, cause she would have to work it..kinda like cutting a stick with a pair of preschool dull scissors. It can be done, it just takes awhile...you get my drift? Anyhow, finally after about thirty mins., it was all over and done with, thank God. Then they were like, okay, all done. Just wear your invisalign and keep it in 24 hrs a day for 6 weeks. Oh, and here are a couple of Tylenol to help with the pain. Thats it? Tylenol?? The disappointment hit me like a kid on Halloween getting apples...I wanted something better! Show me the good stuff dang it! Anyhow, that was it. Then I was up and out, and the next person was brought into slaughter.. just like that. And here we are, 8 days later, still on a ice cream diet with the occasional splurge of Applesauce. Yum. I know, you are jealous. I never thought that I could despise ice cream so much, but frankly, I am tired of it.
