i think i've told my wisdom tooth story before but general anesthetic is the easiest thing in the universe. when i had my wisdom teeth pulled the dentist put the mask to my mouth and said "breathe deep and count backwards from 30" and i was like "30, 29, 28, 27, this isn't right, 26 i don't feel anything, 25 i don't smell anything, 24 i don't hear anything, 23 what if the anesthetic isn't working, 22 what if i'm awake through the whole thing and i" and literally the next thing i remember is my dad helping me into the car and me asking him "do i have cotton in my mouth?" and him laughing and telling me about how the dentist just explained about how they filled my mouth with gauze to deal with the bleeding and that i told them that i understood that fact.

then napping. lots and lots of napping.

Makes no sense. Pot probably isn't anything like being put under. But it's those few seconds you count backward that make me think I'm gonna have a pot-like experience that scares me. Or I'll never wake up if somebody ain't working the dials right.

But thanks!!! Honest!

I don't know how typical my story is but it really was an incredibly painless thing. the surgery was easy and all i had to do was change out some gauze for a few days and refrain from eating pointy things for about a week and that was that, no pain at all. they gave me painkillers but i never needed them. it's probably best to take care of this while you have dental insurance

anyway eventually he tells the hygenist to give me a shot of something else i dont remeber the name of, so she does, and that brings everything down a bit but still not enough, so then he told her to give me a shot of ketamin, which i didnt even realize they use on humans. while she gave e said shot, he put the gas over my nose. shortly afterwards he stuck a rubber block in my mouth, i presume so that it was stuck open when i lost consciousness. some lady came in the room with a neato sounding russian accent. the next thing i knew i was awake again/ i never really realized i fell asleep and asked the chick unhooking me from stuff if my blood pressure was ok. they made me get in a wheelchair but part of the way out i just stood up and walked out. then i went home and chatted up some people on the internets.

so i guess the moral of the story is, if you wanna date rape me, its gonna take a lot.
