Wisdom Teeth.

My face hurts. 

Today, I got all four of my wisdom teeth yanked out. 

I was really relieved when my dentist told me that this was going to be a tough surgery 

because my teeth had grown in so fast, 

and that it probably would've been easier if I had taken them out three years ago. 

Such a good feeling. 

When the dentist assistant brought me to the room for the surgery, 

a large room with one 'lay-down' chair in the center,

I felt like Aslan from Narnia going to the sacrifice table to die. 

The shots of anesthesia hurt like a snitch. 

And then the drilling began. 

I just laid there - numb and lifeless - as they drilled and pulled.

I couldn't watch - all the drills and sharp tools - it was just better
without me flinching as he would get closer. 

I was Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars episode three during his transformation surgery into Darth Vader.
I could just hear the Star Wars anthem playing in the background.

Each painful sting, I would just tell myself -

"Bethany Hamilton was attacked by a shark, she didn't even scream" 

and I would picture the scene in Soul Surfer right before her attack. 

She helped me survive. 

 After, I have to say - I looked good.

It was a scene out of a horror movie.

I had a constant flow of blood and saliva dripping out of my mouth. 

I can't thank Alexa enough for being patient with me and for helping me out,

she drove me back from the dentist and dropped off my prescriptions,
not to mention had to watch as the Hoover Dam of blood came spilling out of my mouth.

From all the drilling I had a pounding headache. 

Every little sound was driving me crazy aka Bentley's panting. 

I'm good now though.
I'm like Harry Potter in Chamber of Secrets waiting in the hospital wing drinking Skele-grow.
Bentley and my padre are being very helpful,

I'm on the pain meds, watching movies, eating some ice cream.

It's hurts to smile.
