Keep Bleeding

Please don't misunderstand that I'm going to write about the song by Leona Lewis...
Yes, it's a very interesting pop song...I'm just using the title to describe my bleeding...
Well, I would like to admit that it's tough to wait even though for every half an hour consecutively until 3 hours...
Out of sudden, my tooth ache, actually it was since last week...so yesterday afternoon, I went to consult dentist...he explained what actually causes the pain: it was my wisdom tooth of the upper left row of teeth, which actually bite on my inner gum, that's why when I close my mouth tight the pain comes...it too happens while eating...
and I learned that lower row of teeth is supposed to be inside a bit (hope u understand this, I can't think of words to exchange, my vocabulary is too weak) compared to the upper row of teeth. So, the dentist pointed out that none of my family members have this problem: lower row of teeth is out a bit than the upper row of teeth...and only me who have this problem, so things went through my mind such as braces, should or shouldn't I? do I need to pluck off another tooth?

Firstly, the main problem solved, that I pluck off my upper left wisdom tooth (1 wisdom gone..just kidding, nothing to do with wisdom), therefore, my wound keep bleeding, and according to dentist, it takes 3 hours to stop bleeding (as described above, I need to change my gauze every half an hour for 3 hours)...required me not to sleep, eat, drink hot drink, and rinse my mouth, and can't do heavy exercise (sigh)...such a time, bored while waiting while can't do much thing...however, I fell asleep on couch...it proved that sleeping is not allowed...it causes my blood came out of my mouth unconsciously and dirtied my notes...hope it doesn't dirty the couch...didn't check anyway...and was prescribed: pain killer and antibiotic, plus tooth rinser...the rinser was really painful to my gums (unexpected)...it wasn't an easy thing to face the fact that the effect of plucked tooth was 'memorable' especially the sound of tooth plucking out...good job dentist! my tooth was perfectly plucked off intact wholly (fully out including the 'foot')...it costs RM200! there gone my $$ and my wisdom tooth (ouch!)...

I went for Siemens run this morning...thank God that the wound didn't bleed and guess what? I've got medal & cert. It's all because of God's grace...though I shouldn't do heavy exercise, still God allows me to do with the strength He provided, praise the God! Hallelujah! That's because I asked before hand...before the run, even the night before...Thank God! :) God is good, all the time..and all the time, God is good!

Tee!! Ouch that hurts..! And don't worry, I understand the lower teeth inside thing. Perhaps that was what contributed to your headache as well?

And congrats again for getting a cert and medal for the run!!! God is great.
