Under the Knife

Quite the hellacious week, from the lovely incident on day one of finals to the wonderful surgery that I had to have on a tooth the Friday after finals.

I sit here.. oh.. probably 24 hours after the surgery is done, with a gaping wound in my mouth where a tooth used to be and oh yes, did I mention that part of the Novocaine hasn't worn off yet? So half of my lower jaw region is numb to pain. I can literally stick a pin into around where my lip is to around where my chin is and not feel it.

Basically, what I'm saying is.. $360 for IV anesthesia and they can't even put the correct dosage in? Or maybe I can only hope that my face is permanently Botox-paralyzed so I can sue this people and make some money... perhaps I can actually afford college if I do that.. lol. But really, healthcare in this country blows. You have to get a $1500 orthodontic surgery on your mouth and insurance doesn't even cover part of it. What the hell is that? Would they prefer to pay for like some tooth/gum-cancer years down the road when I leave it in there and it gets a tumor on it and then I need some crazy-ass surgery to remove half my face? Yeah that's right, good call people, good call.

Anyways... Lit Final anyone? It kind of reminded me of that scene in Pulp Fiction where they bent the guy over the pipe and... well, you get the idea. 250 questions of pure unadulterated Hell. And the Advanced Math final was pretty fun as well... especially when I went 30 minutes past the time limit (good thing I er... couldn't make it to first period and had to make it up 9th, or I would have been screwed.)

Well, that about does it for this entry. Maybe next time I'll write something that actually has a bit of focus to it.
