It's OUT and I Survived!

I just knew you'd all want to see the bloody stump of a tooth that came out today. Makes a great ATC don' t you think? LOL I had a conversation with the sweet young doctor prior to the serum going in that was putting me to sleep. I told him about my upcoming art show and he let me know they needed new art in his offices. Was I interested in having mine hung there with my business card on it, etc.? I said sure so will send him my Textile Art Blog address to see what he likes. Fun to have a next place to hang my stuff. Patty just left. I have gauze pads in my mouth soaking up blood. I just took an IBP 4 hrs after the ordeal started as the Novocaine is starting to wear off. I feel a little light headed, but can walk around my house just fine. From couch to computer. The important places. I'd watched a movie last night about a doctor whose patient died from the anesthetic...obviously that was not prophetic for me. I'm HERE! Thanks to all who sent their good wishes. From Lynn who is back in the saddle again!

    Oh my goodness, I am so glad that you are okay. I had one pulled about two months ago...not fun.
    Since you got your tooth...put it under your pillow and see if the tooth fairy comes...TEE HEE!
    Hugs, Mary

    Congrats Lynn!!!
    For being such a brave survivor ;)
    I would never ever want an anesthetic......, that the thing I am most afraid of. I did my cesarian and my feet operation with a spinal anesthetic.
    Did you put your tooth under your pillow?
    Now you take care and take it easy!
    Fun the doctor 's office will be your next exhibition, congrats on that! You rock!

    Have a nice weekend
    hugs

    oh my dearest one, that looks soooo huge!!!! ouch!!! you are back and i am so relieved about that. I think you should do a gigantic piece of this tooth to hang in your dentist's surgery (only kidding!) rest now and eat lotsa icecream and cool drinks. xx

    I'm glad you showed us the tooth. Interesting how a photo of the same tooth, posted on your blog as part of a smile, would not even be noticed or elicit a reaction. Yet extracted, it is seen so differently. As humans we often avoid showing or looking at those unseen parts (the blood, the root, etc) - yet we all have them.

    Boy, that's pretty yukky! How brave of you - some ordeal I'd say - hate going to the dentists and don't 'do' anything involving blood!!!Take it easy for a while - you must have a pretty big hole in your mouth now!

    Dear Friends, I apologize to anyone whom I grossed out with my photo of my bloody tooth.

    I'm glad some of you got a kick out of it...saw the humor.

    I am fine today. Actually the upper quadrant of my mouth ABOVE the area where the tooth was hurts. I do not feel much at all in the operation site. Interesting? Maybe they pulled the wrong tooth? LOL

    Off to felt and sew and gesso pages for my next art projects!

    Oh God, Lynn! This looks so painful. I had wisdom teeth removed but I never saw the actual tooth! This tooth looks healthy. Too bad it had to come out. Hope you have lots of pain killer.
