Extractions and Lockjaw
So I had my wisdom teeth out at the weekend and it was a thoroughly pleasant experience.
Having opted for sedation (because I am a big chicken) I don’t remember a whole lot about it – however I was told afterwards that I’d spent a few minutes, between extractions, arguing with the dentist that I would be OK to drink some wine when I got home and I’d also be fine to smoke because I “only smoke silk cut.”
Since then, I’ve been a little sore as you might expect after having 3 wisdom teeth out and this morning I woke up with a bad case of lockjaw. Initially unable to eat, I cunningly bought a packet of discos and ‘posted’ them through the narrow gap i could open and then sucked them until they were soft enough break up with my tongue.
Clever stuff.
Luckily, the dentist has promised me that this is only temporary and I should be back to normal in a few days. Which, tbf, I’m pretty pleased about.
I do have a full review and pictures of Queen @ O2 to post, but that involves a lot of messing about and I can’t be bothered tonight.
Watch this space.
