I love to do things that are scary, to me that makes me who I am! It makes me feel good about my self after I have accomplished something hard/scary. But I would have to say there is one thing that I would never do again, and that is getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Ok I know it sounds funny, but before this I had never had surgery before. I remember going to the dentist and having them tell me that I need to get them pulled. You know, I was fine with it a little scared but nothing I couldn’t handle.. (so I thought). Ok so the day comes where I go and meet with the Doctor that is doing my surgery. We take a couple x-rays and he comes back to tell me that all four of my teeth are under my jaw bone, which is why I have been having a lot of pain with them. To make matters worse, the Doctor told me that during the surgery he has to break my jaw in four different places. So for someone that has never had surgery before I thought I was going to have a heart attack that’s how scared I was.
The day of the surgery came, the day that I was so wishing would have never came. Everything went fine according to the surgeon, and I should have no problems. Ok so I know that you are suppose to swell and get those awful looking bruises, but there was something else that just didn’t seem right in my mouth. I don’t even know how to explain it other than a really bad infection. It looked like a big bubble. If you felt my check it was this huge bump. I went back to the dentist four times and they would just give me more pain killers and told me that it’s just because you had a really bad case.
So finally after 2 months went by from having surgery, and there was still this huge bump on the side of my face I went back in and told them that they need to fix it! I ended up getting rushed to surgery, where they found that my surgeon left a piece of gauze down in my wisdom tooth hole and when they stitched me up it got stuck down there to cause this huge infection. Luckily I’m all good now. Not only the worse pain I have ever felt, but the scariest thing ever. After that I really hope I don’t need anymore surgery’s!

Hey Brittany,
It sounds painful hearing about your wisdom teeth experince..lucky for me I didn't even feel a thing after the surgery...but thanks for the comment
Hey,
By the way you didn't vote you have too go back and vote I have three polls...
Ouch! As a guy who has had to endure multiple surgeries, I know how scary and painful it can be--but I never had the problems you've had! I'm glad that everything is okay now. At least you only have to have the wisdom teeth pulled once, so you'll never have to do that again!
Thanks for sharing your story, and welcome to the course!
