Getting Teeth Pulled

[beandelphiki]

Nicole, if you're reading this, I'm sorry you're going to see it twice, I know I already sent you an email.

I got two teeth pulled today. Yuck. I've never had any teeth pulled before, never even had a filling, so I was so fuckn' scared. I was hyperventilating all over the place, and sweating and shit..it was gross. I was so distracted by utter terror, I didn't even care that the dentist referred to me as a she.

The dentist didn't even freeze shit properly, so I felt them yank out one side, which hurt. So I thought after that it was all good, like I could handle it. Hah. Guess it was that build-up of nervous tension and whatnot, because I started to pass out. So I did what my mom drilled into me years ago - I got up, sat down in a chair, and put my head between my legs.

They didn't like that, because it would make me bleed more (also, I guess, I was drooling all over...=/) so I had to sit up. I've fainted a lot before, but never have I felt such a torturously slow slide into unconsciousness. The TV above my head slowly got blurry, bit by bit. Then I realized that I really wasn't going to pass out. I just made it to the sink. Gross. Not in years, I tell ya, I can't remember the last time I did that.

What really makes me mad is I don't know why I had that reaction. I thought it was all cool, that I could handle it and not wuss out. Grr. Seriously, I can't remember my last such wussy moment that was that bad.

So here I am, posting about my little insecurities about my manhood. *rolls eyes, sighs* Am I less a man b/c I puked? Naw, dawg, get over it...

Haven't been able to eat anything. Plus I'm afraid to try, what with these gaping holes in my gums.
