I just experienced something surgical first time in my life. I had got stitches twice when I was a kid which I don’t remember at all. So today was the first time. The doctors removed my wisdom tooth.
The whole operation took only 10-15 minutes, but they were amazing. Everything was new to me. Even both the doctors could realize that it was my first experience. Yes, I was worried. Before the operation started, I had thought it would be only a normal removal but then I came to know that it was not. One of the doctors gave anaesthesia at several places near the wisdom tooth. That hurt a bit. After that I the other doctor gently applied some gel or something on that area. There started the pain. But after 3-4 minutes it went off. My mouth is very small and it can’t open wide enough so that they can put their hands and all that equipments inside. He kept telling me to open it wider and wider. Oh my god! It is very difficult to keep your mouth wide open for long. Thanks to that suction equipment which helped me a lot! The moment when he removed the tooth was bit scary. But as that part of my mouth had lost all the senses, I didn’t feel it. After that the stitching started. Doctor told me to close my eyes. But I happened to see something ugly which he put in my mouth. Then I didn’t open my eyes again. While he was putting stitches, once I could not control myself and wanted to either swallow or spit. And the needle was midway in. He didn’t allow me to move, and I had to control myself. That moment was bit weird. And then it was finished. Huh!
Immediately he told me that I should not spit for next 24 hours. Oh my God! You have cotton in your mouth and you are not allowed to spit. The feeling of it made me crazy for few seconds, but what was I going to do? After 5 minutes I came out of everything and became normal. Now I’m carrying cotton and the portion of mouth has started getting senses again. I wanted to write this post before I get the senses back. I don’t know what is going to happen in next 5-6 days. I need to hold this pain. Yes with the help of some pain killers which are so powerful that they drag out all the energy out of me. Nice! Today, I’m keeping oath of silence; apparently though. ;)

oye! It had no space to come out. See. I already carry so much of wisdom that there was no space for more. :P
must have been a great experience :). I am still to experience something like this. BTW how does it feel when you get your senses back?
Nothing great! Real battle starts there. :D
Anyway that lasts only for few hours. Later the pain lessens gradually.
