scared the hell out of the receptionist while i was getting my wisdom teeth removed. the doctor was switching implements while she came in and asked "is he under sedation?", to which i loudly responded "hello!". she jumped a bit and the dentist chuckled under his breath. 10/10 will be going back to get the rest out

also i fuck with the surgeon so much. he's a super chill dude who said "well, it's highly unusual to request numbing instead of sedation" during my consultation, to which i responded "i think sedation is too freaky". we went back and forth and eventually he conceded and said "well, i can tell you're a strongly willed individual", which i mentally translated to "there's no way this cocksucker will ever change his mind"

im glad i went with local anesthetic instead of sedation. i had breakfast. i didn't feel a thing (except for the 6 numbing injections, but that's still way better than an IV imo, and they just kinda sting for a little bit). i was entirely conscious. i drove myself there and back. afterwards i went to walmart and explained why i got prescribed percocet for extreme pain management. i also bought a shit ton of soft food like oatmeal and applesauce, and got to joke with the cashier that im on an a retiree's diet. FUCK being knocked out for wisdom tooth removal. this is so much better

@zonk I say I do the same thing I absolutely hate going to sleep or being knocked out in general and probably a nice not waking up super groggy and fucked

Hopefully everything went well with your wisdom teeth.

Once everything is back to normal you'll be at 100% mouth sucking capacity lol.
