Yeah, it's true... Janene had the pleasure of having her four wisdom teeth ripped out. However, unlike my dreamy experience under a full general anaesthetic, she had to have hers extracted IN THE CHAIR! Ouchy!Janene had one impacted (i.e. sideways) tooth on the bottom right, which meant some bone drilling was required. But surprisingly that particular tooth came out with minimal effort compared to the one on the opposite side of her face.
Where it should have only taken around 2 hours to take all four teeth out, she ended up spending four and a half hours in the chair! The last half of that time was mostly due to the fact they couldn't stop her mouth from bleeding. Blood poured out everywhere! YICK!
So anyway, with Janene's face looking the way it does (check the picture which I took tonight - 3 days after the op!) I've been determined to keep her locked up until the swelling subsides and she looks less "abused". I fear that taking her out in public will almost certainly encourage whispers and general gossip among strangers who don't know (or care for) the real story! Cos let's face it... she DOES look like your average beaten housewife.
Sunday School...
Not one to shirk her Christian duties, Janene soldiered on and taught her Sunday School class this morning. While I sat there as her offsider in the circle of kids, the silent stares Janene got were hilarious. I couldn't hold back a chuckle as I watched Meggy's wide eyes stare unceasingly, with mouth ajar in horror at Janene's bruises.
Finally, before the lessons began, Janene took the time to explain why she looked like she picked a fight with Jackie Chan. Once it was explained, the kids were visibly relieved.
LOTS OF SOUP...
