I heart Peas

It's 1.30 pm and I get called in. Miss Marci, it's your turn. Please come through. They ask me to wash my hands thoroughly and then wipe my face and neck with some horribly stinky-blue dissinfectant. 

"Can you tell me why you are here today?"

I wanted to reply "Because you horrible people want to torture me" but instead gave the more accurate response...

"I'm here to have my lower, left wisdome tooth out." 

They explained that the tooth had fused to my jaw and that they were opting to chisel rather than saw into the jaw to remove it. They also make my sign a waiver which promises I won't sue if I never feel the left hand side of my face again.. I signed.. I was afraid...Now, well after 12 hours later, I can definitely feel my face..it hurts!

Three hours later, with 6 large anthesia shots and 5 small ones, I emerged in a great deal of pain. Everyone said I should have had a general, but I just don't like the idea of them... anyway - I'm okay, but as aformentioned in a great deal of pain. I was handed antibacterial mouth wash and a panadol... I looked at the panadol and called my GP straight away. Within 15 minutes I had Panedine Forte in my pretty little hands- however, unfortunatlely for me, this number the pain from worse than Contractions to worse than Child Birth ... Yes - I am serious... This hurt more than Child Birth and more than Contractions (personally I think the contractions are more painful than the pushing...) anyway- totally off track... my point here is... on this food blog... is that Peas aren't just for eating. I love them, and they have been on my face for almost 24 hours now. I have two zip-lock bags, which I alternate from freezer to face as each packet melts.

I am so hungry - I can't eat.... this is food bloggers hell. Please someone take my pain, I will give birth for you in exchange!
