Realization

I realized one thing, I've always taken things for granted. I didn't realized this till I got my 2 impacted wisdom teeth out. It was from both lower side. There wasn't much pain to be honest post surgery. But the pain came from other forms. Not being able to open my mouth, not being able to chew, not being able to talk, not being able to look myself in the mirror.

Post operation, I've been brief on what happens three times. Once by my own dentist, once by the surgeon before the operation and once after. However, nothing had prepared me for the swollen cheeks. I mean, I can't imagine my cheeks swelling up to the point of being a piglet and changing the shape of my face. It was a horrible moment. Scientifically I understand what is happening and what goes on during the recovery stage. Emotionally, I definitely wasn't prepared. I wasn't aware that I could be this vain. Its amazing what females go through.

In the end, its good for me I guess. And I'm taking this opportunity to officially quit my favorite sticks. Yes, I'm a smoker and although I would like to think I'm a social smoker, let's face it, there's no such thing as a social smoker. So I'm going to be smoke free from now on. I hope that this will last. I'm determined this time round.
