Mar. 2, 2007 ~ Laughing gas.... isn't very funny. >.<
Okay, the second half of my misfortune.
The bleeding finally stopped at about 7:00 in the morning. I sat miserably on the couch until Mom came down to take me to the orthodontist. We showed up at the building, but they didn't have a doctor there at the time, just assistants. We had to drive another 30 minutes to another place, where they did have a doctor. Everyone there gave me a funny look as I walked in, which I expected, as my lip was so swollen my mouth couldn't open right. The orthodontist just sucked in her breath after she looked into my mouth. She removed my broken and bent braces, and sent me straight to the surgeon. He looked at my teeth for a bit, discovered my upper jaw was fractured, and told me I needed an operation. I was taken to his room, which looked more like a torture chamber than an operating room. Needles, tubes, and machines were dangling everywhere. They settled me on the bed, and gave me laughing gas. The gas, incidentally, didn't seem to do a thing. Right before they started the operation, they inserted a tube to my arm, (which hurt, by the way) and whatever they pumped into me knocked me out within a few seconds. I remember waking up about halfway through the surgery, but I couldn't feel anything. I hazily watched them working on me, but it was kinda like I was dreaming, to try and and describe it. They kept talking to me, but I can't remember what I said. Anesthesia does strange things to you.... =D
I finally woke up completely, with an aching mouth. My face was partly numb, but not the teeth still hurt. They had surgically moved my teeth so they were facing the right way, given me lots of stitches on my lips, gums, and the roof of my mouth, and cemented wires onto my teeth to keep them in place. The doctor told me that the teeth were really loose, and chewing would be off-limits for weeks. He said I still had a chance of losing some teeth, though they might take years to come out. I might have have root canals, because of the trauma. I left rather unsteadily, with instructions to come back next week.
So here I am now, with an aching mouth, raw lips, and taking about nine pills a day. I'm also on a diet of mashed potatoes, applesauce, and energy drink. Go team. >.<

You are a walking disaster. That scar over your left eye probably seems like nothing now. I hope your parents have some awesome medical insurance. If the company cancels your coverage ("We can't insure him. He's way-y-y too high risk!"), maybe Lloyds of London will pick you up.
