back from penang. will post more about the trip soon together with some pics.
anyway, this morning i went to ndc for my gum graft surgery. it's cos the bottom right side of my mouth has very thin gums, hence the need to graft gums from the roof of my mouth. they injected anesthesia twice so the entire left side of my mouth went numb. i didnt even know they started the surgery. i thought they were still fiddling with the tools. although i couldt feel what was going on, i could hear them scrapping things and hear the knife cut the small piece of gum tissue from the roof of my mouth. then the dentist held up a small piece of my gum on top of me with his twizzers. a loose piece of gum looks like a piece of chicken meat. bloody red and slightly translucent when seen over light. he cut out a triangular piece of my gum. now i can feel the slight recession on the roof of my mouth where he cut the piece out. thank God it didnt bleed at all. after cutting the gum out, he stitched it at the bottom where the gum is thin. saw the string going in and out of my mouth. haha. if you see me before next monday, i can show it to you! i hope they did a great job and the gum would fuse in nicely and new gum would grow back at the roof of my mouth. i dont want to go through this again, although this is not the first time i go through such procedure. i have such a complicated mouth. sigh. and it's always i, out of all people, who has to go through pain just to get things right. sigh.. the dentist says it takes about 6 weeks to heal. that's a long time. eating is a struggle. i can only chew on my left side. i cant eat hot food or hard food. but this is good so that i can loose weight after eating like a pig in penang. ate 4 scoops of icecream for 3 consecutive days. fats galore. i also cant brush that area for about 2 weeks. so he gave me this mouth wash which i have to dip cotton wool into and then use it to clean my teeth. trubble. and i'm supposed to be gentle. alamak.
i hope my mouth heals quickly before sat cos i'm doing word. and the last thing i want is for my mouth to hurt. arrgghh. anyway, i'm kind of excited to do word this week!! i dunno why. heh.
random note:
