After having my wisdom teeth extraction last week I went for my post-op appointment this morning.



Well the dentist's assistant came and took me back to the room. The
first thing I notice was that on the tray of supplies there was one of
those...what I like to call yellow, kidney shaped bowls of doom.



My first reaction was "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT FOR!?". However, I managed
to calm myself down by reminding myself that I knew she was just going
take a look in my mouth and make sure I was healing. I told myself that
I'd be happier not speculating about why it might be there because I
wasn't going to need it anyway.



Well it turns out I did. However, not for that, thank god! After
looking at me she put the yellow bowl of doom into my hand and told me
to hold it. At this point I was thinking to myself "I don't wanna!"



She then flushed out the extraction sites with a syringe of salt water
and told me to just swish it around for a while and then gently spit it
into bowl. This I REALLY didn't want to do, but what the hell choice
did I have? There was no where else to spit it out, so I just did it
and got it over with.



You see this is just totally something that an emet would understand
because I wasn't sick at all, and I knew that was was coming out of my
mouth was just water. After all it had just been squirted into my mouth
2 seconds earlier, but I didn't even want to simulate the action!
