Woman Chooses Greece Vacation Over Helping Husband After Wisdom Teeth Removal, Family Livid
Interview With Expert
Picture this: you’ve been planning your dream vacation with your friends for over a year. You’ve got your suitcase packed, beach outfits ready, and everyone is excited for the adventure.
But then, something comes up that could mess up all your fun.
That’s the tough spot one woman on Reddit found herself in. She had a girls’ trip to Greece booked well in advance, but her husband chose that time to schedule his wisdom teeth surgery. Despite knowing her travel dates, he expected her to cancel and stay home to care for him. She decided to go anyway, leaving his family furious.
Keep reading to see how it all played out.

Poor communication can put a serious strain on relationships
When you exchange wedding vows, there’s an understanding that you’ll support your partner through sickness and health. But in modern marriages, what that looks like can vary.
In the Reddit story, the couple had different expectations about what should come first—OP’s long-awaited vacation or staying behind to care for her husband.
Bored Panda reached out to relationship therapist and couples counselor Elinor Harvey to hear her thoughts on this.
Harvey believed the wife handled things quite well overall. “It seems like she suggested a surgery date that worked for both of them, but he chose not to take it. Plus, she made sure his mother was there to help him during recovery,” she pointed out. “In the end, the responsibility for picking that date was his. She even checked in while she was away, and he didn’t communicate any need for her to come back. She’s not a mind reader!”
Still, Harvey acknowledged that the husband’s sense of hurt or abandonment was valid. It’s possible he had trouble expressing it at the time, which might have stirred up deeper emotional wounds from childhood.
“It’s important for his wife to listen to his feelings and see how they can heal the relationship,” Harvey added. “However, the accountability for communicating those feelings lands on him, unfortunately. And being angry at her is unlikely to make anything better.”

Open dialogue is key in cases like this, according to Harvey. When the couple was deciding on the surgery date, a better discussion could have helped. For instance, what meant more to the husband—having his wife there, or feeling mentally prepared for the surgery?
“Obviously, they both matter,” said Harvey. “But it sounds like the pair didn’t fully explore each other’s needs. For example, we don’t know how emotionally significant it might have been for the wife to have her trip to Greece. Spending time with friends and family is an essential part of self-care, and if we’re not taking care of our own well-being, it’s impossible to look after others.”
Communication problems, in fact, are a top reason for divorce, according to a survey by Your Tango. The findings show that 70% of men see nagging or complaining as a major issue, and 65% feel unappreciated by their partner. Meanwhile, 83% of women say their biggest concern is not having their feelings validated
When tensions rise, Harvey suggests couples try a ‘Speaker/Listener’ approach. In this method, one partner speaks while the other actively listens, then uses a ‘mirroring’ technique to repeat back what they’ve heard to make sure they’ve understood them correctly.
“This slows things down and stops couples from getting into back-and-forth arguments, focusing on understanding rather than winning,” she explains. “A good rule of thumb in communication is that if one of you is ‘winning,’ then the relationship is probably losing!”
“Consider how the husband [on Reddit] could have addressed the situation by saying, ‘I’m feeling abandoned and hurt by you not being there, and I need some one-on-one time with you this week to feel connected again,’” Harvey notes.
“Communicating clearly and being able to express specific needs is a great way to help resolve rifts like this.”
Many commenters sided with the woman, arguing that her husband was trying to manipulate her into staying
Others, however, felt she was wrong for choosing her friends over her husband

Did the YTA people read the whole thing? It's minor surgery which could have been planned for another date. Not "mentally prepared" my äss. Dental pain is something you want to sort out ASAP - even if the dentist said we can do it NOW i would have said go ahead, but that's me. If this guy was OK to wait 3 months, then he was OK to wait for another month and not choose the one option where his wife would be away.

NTA of course. This minor surgery could have been scheduled differently. He had other options. And this surgery takes one out of the running ( to the extent that one can't take care of themselves) for how long ? One day ? Maybe two...?

I had my wisdom teeth taken out (dug out of my jaw before they broke through) when I was a young teenager. I was home alone most of the day bc my parents had to work. How much "being taken care of" does a grown a*s guy need here?

The real issue is he does not want the wife to go on the trip. So for me It is an excuse. I bet my left nut that he is the insecure/controlling type of guy.

It looks like the ESH and YTA crowds didn't read the post in its entirety. DH DELIBERATELY chose the week of his wife's trip to have his wisdom teeth extracted, in order to make her take care of him. What is he, 10 years old? Heck, I got mine removed when I was 29, went under general anesthesia, and was back on solid foods within three days. I didn't even need the pain pills (they gave me a headache). If the bum wanted to go on a fishing trip with his friends, and OP was undergoing some serious surgery, he would have hemmed and hawwed, but left anyway, sending his mother to take care of her. Yeah, riiiiiiiiiight. 🤨 OP really needs to seriously evaluate her marriage to El Manipulato. This doesn't have the feel of an isolated incident.

Again... YTAers are the AHs. I had mine out and only needed a lift home and a few hours to get over the anaesthetic. Then I easily continued to look after myself and the kids without any issues. What a vindictive man child. I'm guessing he hated that she was going away, but stayed silent, then took the opportunity to try and sabotage her plans. 100% NTA. Just checked to see if there is a resolution/update, but it seems the OP has been suspended .... even though all of it is still visible. Weird.

Sounds to me that when he was given the options for the date he saw a perfect opportunity to stop his wife from going away without him. This wasn't about not being 'mentally prepared', it was about an insecure man with trust issues.

I've started looking at the points awarded to the opinions in the article. Six opinions against the OP were voiced. The highest was 0, the lowest -12, and the mean was 2.33. Compare this to 16 opinions in favour, with a lowest of 30, the highest of 12.1K, and an average of 2.3K. Puts a bit of a different spin on the opinions of the YTA people.

Once again the YTA people are reaching like mad. The dude was "recovering from surgery"?? Yeah sure, but he is a grown man, not a child. I had 3 wisdom teeth removed and I live alone?! No one has to "take care of you" for that?! Dentist declared I should take 2 sick days because of severe inflammation. Basically all you need to "recover" from this are ice packs and baby food. That's it.

You married a big baby OP and I think this will escalate. Show them these messages (the ones that are normal) and you YTAs can go baby your husband/partner when he has a cold and swears he's dYiNg!!

FFS. NTA. The husb-child wasn't emotionally prepared for... wisdom teeth extraction? I had two removed the day that that the dentist looked at them and told me to have them removed. And his mother needed to care for him after? Huh? Sh'e only 24, she has a chance to hit the reset button and start over with an adult. Sheesh.

I completely agree that the OP is NTA but some people are really scared by the concept of General Anesthesia so that 'mentally prepare' thing isn't that big of a deal to me...but the "chose the window of time that would screw her trip over because he didn't want her to her to go' thing is pretty obviously the real reason.

Lmao at he "needed time to prepare for it". He sounds like a complete baby. Funny story, 30 years ago, I had a wisdom tooth go bad, it was on a Saturday, no dentists open, I had about 8 paracetamol in 4 hours, no good, still screaming in pain. Hit the ER, told them what I did, they sent me to the emergency dental hospital across the road. Was told it wasn't an emergency. Fine, hit me up with some real pain relief...NO...OK, I will have to keep eating paracetamol like lollies....wait, NO. A doctor, gave me a local, put his knee on my chest, went in with a set of pliers and PULLED and YANKED with my head swinging back and forth, my eyes bugging out of my head until he ripped that dang tooth out, one thick root and all. I was dazed and felt like I was in some bizarre alternate reality where I had ended up in some comedy sitcom. Still laugh about it, fun times.

Lol similar thing happened to me. The emergency dentist was strange and stroppy old woman, told me she did not do wisdom tooth extractions, said book with someone else and kicked me out the door. I was crying in the corridor unsure what to do and some passing nurse asked me if I’m ok, I explained through the sobbing what happened and she took me to see different dentist on another floor. This other dentist looked in my mouth, gave me numbing injection but didn’t quite wait for it to work before he yanked the tooth out. Lifted me off the chair and I almost fell off when the tooth finally came out. I was broke student back then, no car or taxi money. I walked out and had to spit blood constantly, tried to take the bus but had to get off at next stop due to all the bleeding and walked for an hour back to my dorms spitting blood every 5 meters. Was as good as new a few hours later.

How can you be in significant pain but not mentally prepared to have the pain taken care of in a routine procedure in which you are not losing a significant part of your body and only need pain meds and rest to recover from. That language is being pathetic on purpose.

that would be a psychological issue...my dentist pulled one of my wisdom teeth,I did not return for a year(it was that bad,got the rest out at the hospital) and he still remembered pulling it,imagine how many patients he had in that time?not making exuses for him at all,it was pretty low that he went out of his way to do this and this isn't even an issue about his teeth,he tried to make her cancel a holiday she planned for over a year,then when she didn't he got mad at her...this is why man flu is a thing....

As someone who had five wisdom teeth cut out all on the same day, followed by being in bed for a week with vomiting and an infection... I would NEVER expect my partner to cancel a trip that had been planned for so long with their friends. I would have scheduled it for another time, or had a family member come help me. This guy is clearly being a controlling d**k. However, if you've never been with a partner who actually cares about you, you might be tempted to wonder if you're the A-hole. People who love each other want their partners to be happy, and don't scheme to ruin their good time. If this had been an emergency life-threatening surgery, this would be a different story. This guy planned to ruin her trip.

Wisdom TEETH extraction? How many teeth did they extract? What is this, "not mentally prepared" BS? Although, it's a minor procedure, I decided to have mine done on a Friday (two years ago) so I have the weekend; but I still worked around the house. Because I could only eat soft food - i decided on ice cream. The best part of it 😁. IDK, but this guy sounds like he's too dependent on his wife; or, he wants to control her.

Nope, not TA - he deliberately scheduled for when she would away in an AH power move that backfired then got mommy involved. She had planned that trip for over a year. He can suck whatever. I also got mine pulled in the dental chair with pliers and then went and played football that night.

hol'up ... needing to be "mentally prepared" is something I can completely understand. I'm in a similar situation and have been procrastinating for a while now (but got a date booked soon). It's daunting and you're afraid of what you'll go through etc. BUT: never would I ever expect my wife to cancel all her plans to "take care of me". First off: things that have been planned for a long time and are not moveable come first. Also, I'd WANT my wife to have a great trip. And second ... "take care of me"? What would my wife need to do for me? Feed me? Bathe me? I'm a grown äss man with one tooth removed. Grow tf up.

The biggest issue is getting home from the oral surgeon after the procedure. Once that problem is solved, the dude has no leg to stand on. Two ibuprofen and one acetaminophen for pain and inflammation every six hours. Soft foods or soups depending on how you feel. No straws. Milk it for an extra day off work sitting on the couch watching Netflix. I'd rest better if my wife was out of town because she'd have me up and down all day doing chores.

Mentally prepared? My dentist told me I needed mine out (two were impacted), and I did it the next day, all four, with no sedation and nothing but Tylenol for pain. My face was so swollen I looked like a chipmunk. Three days later, I flew across the country. I even drove myself to and from the dentist. Dude is a WIMP to begin with, and this was all about sabotaging his wife's trip. She needs to leave him. This is always part of a pattern. I dated that sort of guy. Started with small things like having to leave my family reunion to go with him to get a new tire because he hadn't done it before we'd made the three-hour drive and it was bald. I missed almost the whole party. And it got worse from there. By the time I left him, I'd lost most of my friends and half my family wasn't speaking to me.

NTA no real pain/problem since the mental reparation was such big deal - try a different dentist If it cant wait and inconvinience everybody - his change of plans his problem. MIL could take care and you are in the spotlight couse you dont fit the "wifey coockie form" of the family and the are annoyed because you forgot you where his New mom. Make a small rebellion every day, plan your next appointment incoveniently and make him make a choise. I have three Kids with three diff. Things anxiety, adhd, autisme and I am very sympathetic to the fact you can have challenges with mentally preparing and be very afraid of stuff, but it is a task that should be handled like an adult also from mommy in law.

Wow, I'm embarrassed for him. If he can't manage to care for himself after wisdom teeth surgery, how does he hold down a job? I bet he's a real treat when he gets a cold. The day after I had mine out, I had to drive my 95 year old grandmother 6 hrs to my aunt's home out of state because both my parents ended up in the hospital at the same time. Suck it up buttercup. I have to agree that he was likely trying to keep you from going on this trip for whatever reason and planned it assuming you'd cave. Good for you for showing your spine!

For the weird "it's a major surgery" YTA People: I had a pretty terrible time with getting all of my wisdom teeth out, and I STILL 100% would have been insisting OP take the trip. I had to have surgery as they were in sideways and some were burried (I had extras! Yay me!) . So I was put under. I had stitches in both sides of my mouth. There was a lot of blood in my mouth for the first 24 hours and the pain killers they prescribed made me feel super sick. So I wouldn't take it. I couldn't open my mouth enough to even fit a fork in for a day or two and the pain sucked! It took me a good 10 days to fully recover. I did need a ride home as is protocol, but I easily could have taken a cab or transit (I wasn't groggy/dopey, and had my full faculties). At no part in the entire process did I need anyone with me. It wasn't worth anyone cancelling lunch plans, let alone a trip.
DC and S 3 months ago
And that's disregarding the actual problem: he purposefully booked his appointment for her trip, and didn't TELL her the fact for nearly 3 months(he clearly booked it at the start of this story as the slot would have filled up otherwise), waiting until 3 weeks before the trip to tell her. So no, he wasn't afraid of the surgery and needing her moral support. He didn't need her to care for him after the surgery. He was manipulative AF and lost his sh*t when he didn't win his little control game.

If the husband has a man-bun, the wife must stay home and baby him as he is the 'sensitive' type. I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was single and it never crossed my mind that I might need a caretaker. Her trip was planned for a year and this selfish man wants to give her a hard time for going? Sounds like he never wanted her to go in the first place. Those two would probably be better off married to someone else.

As someone who had a terrible experience with wisdom teeth removal, the husband is a whiny manchild. Personally, I think he was trying to sabotage her trip. I only had 3 wisdom teeth that needed removed, the top one was a slice and pull. The bottom two each had to be cracked in half, as they were further down in my jaw. Insurance would only pay for up to 12 shots of Novocain, and guess what shot number wore off right after they cracked the second bottom tooth in half? Did you guess 12? You'd be correct! Since the tooth had already been cracked, it had to be removed, and I couldn't afford to pay for the extra shot of Novocain. My body absorbs local anesthetic too fast, which is why I required 12 shots in the first place. The pain was awful, and even I was able to take care of myself afterward. Just couldn't drive myself home.

I had 1 wisdom tooth removed after a a cavity had reached the trigeminal nerve (very painful !). It took a week to find a surgeon and I took the 1st appointment. It was a local anesthesia and I rode home alone and went to my final exam the next day. Then, another cavity attacked the other trigeminal nerve 2 years later and that time they had to remove 2 wisdom teeth, still local anesthesia. The first tooth broke into pieces when they tried to pull it out, and the second one had to be cut into 4 parts. It took 45 minutes, I had 2 stitches ans I was awake the whole time. My father took me home, I never used any painkillers. I took the week-end and on monday I was in front of my students. This guy is a manipulative toddler.

I get needing to be mentally prepared. I'm like that. I can't have things just sprung on me that I wasn't expecting to deal with. But usually, as long as it's not sprung on me same day, I'm good. I can't imagine needing weeks to prepare for this. And, pain would definitely override all of it. If I had tooth pain I'd even be fine with same day, just make it go away. Also, when I had my wisdom teeth removed, I just needed a ride home due to the anesthesia. Otherwise, it was like any other day. No need for a caregiver.

When our daughter (14) had her wisdom teeth out, she had a lot of cutting so we let her rest for the weekend but she didn't need babying - just reminded her to rinse and keep the sockets clean. This guy should have been able to take care of himself and went on with his day. The YTAs, again, suck.

I am married and have 3 kids. I am opting to have a procedure usuallly done under general anaesthetic with just local so I can get it done quicker, have a quicker recovery and have it be less costly, just so we can co-ordinate between our work, our kids, my sick leave, the rest of life etc. I’m okay with that (I’m a tough cookie) but this is just something you have to do sometimes when you’re a grown up. OP has spent 18month and several thousand dollars planning a trip, well, mate, put on your big boy pants and choose that early date and get it over and done with and stop being ridiculous.

NTA, big time. I had all of my wisdom teeth taken out at the same time, decades ago. Right after that, I went and stood in line to get concert tickets at Ticket Master, quite a bit of wait. I had no problem with that. My husband was being an a$$ and didn't want to wait for me to get me home, he was annoyed waiting with me, just wanted to work, so I just got a ride home from some fireman who was in line behind me. He saw my husband being an a$$, and offered to drive me home. Coworkers called me later that day to offer any help I needed, I just told them I didn't need any help, I'd see them the next day at work, I didn't need the day off as I thought I might. So, I was able to stand upright for a long time and talk to people in line, no pain meds taken. No problem! The funny part is, I got home, went to the bathroom, and saw myself in the mirror. I had blood all caked down my chin!

Did the YTA people read the whole thing? It's minor surgery which could have been planned for another date. Not "mentally prepared" my äss. Dental pain is something you want to sort out ASAP - even if the dentist said we can do it NOW i would have said go ahead, but that's me. If this guy was OK to wait 3 months, then he was OK to wait for another month and not choose the one option where his wife would be away.

NTA of course. This minor surgery could have been scheduled differently. He had other options. And this surgery takes one out of the running ( to the extent that one can't take care of themselves) for how long ? One day ? Maybe two...?

It looks like the ESH and YTA crowds didn't read the post in its entirety. DH DELIBERATELY chose the week of his wife's trip to have his wisdom teeth extracted, in order to make her take care of him. What is he, 10 years old? Heck, I got mine removed when I was 29, went under general anesthesia, and was back on solid foods within three days. I didn't even need the pain pills (they gave me a headache). If the bum wanted to go on a fishing trip with his friends, and OP was undergoing some serious surgery, he would have hemmed and hawwed, but left anyway, sending his mother to take care of her. Yeah, riiiiiiiiiight. 🤨 OP really needs to seriously evaluate her marriage to El Manipulato. This doesn't have the feel of an isolated incident.

Again... YTAers are the AHs. I had mine out and only needed a lift home and a few hours to get over the anaesthetic. Then I easily continued to look after myself and the kids without any issues. What a vindictive man child. I'm guessing he hated that she was going away, but stayed silent, then took the opportunity to try and sabotage her plans. 100% NTA. Just checked to see if there is a resolution/update, but it seems the OP has been suspended .... even though all of it is still visible. Weird.

Sounds to me that when he was given the options for the date he saw a perfect opportunity to stop his wife from going away without him. This wasn't about not being 'mentally prepared', it was about an insecure man with trust issues.

I've started looking at the points awarded to the opinions in the article. Six opinions against the OP were voiced. The highest was 0, the lowest -12, and the mean was 2.33. Compare this to 16 opinions in favour, with a lowest of 30, the highest of 12.1K, and an average of 2.3K. Puts a bit of a different spin on the opinions of the YTA people.

I completely agree that the OP is NTA but some people are really scared by the concept of General Anesthesia so that 'mentally prepare' thing isn't that big of a deal to me...but the "chose the window of time that would screw her trip over because he didn't want her to her to go' thing is pretty obviously the real reason.

Lmao at he "needed time to prepare for it". He sounds like a complete baby. Funny story, 30 years ago, I had a wisdom tooth go bad, it was on a Saturday, no dentists open, I had about 8 paracetamol in 4 hours, no good, still screaming in pain. Hit the ER, told them what I did, they sent me to the emergency dental hospital across the road. Was told it wasn't an emergency. Fine, hit me up with some real pain relief...NO...OK, I will have to keep eating paracetamol like lollies....wait, NO. A doctor, gave me a local, put his knee on my chest, went in with a set of pliers and PULLED and YANKED with my head swinging back and forth, my eyes bugging out of my head until he ripped that dang tooth out, one thick root and all. I was dazed and felt like I was in some bizarre alternate reality where I had ended up in some comedy sitcom. Still laugh about it, fun times.

Lol similar thing happened to me. The emergency dentist was strange and stroppy old woman, told me she did not do wisdom tooth extractions, said book with someone else and kicked me out the door. I was crying in the corridor unsure what to do and some passing nurse asked me if I’m ok, I explained through the sobbing what happened and she took me to see different dentist on another floor. This other dentist looked in my mouth, gave me numbing injection but didn’t quite wait for it to work before he yanked the tooth out. Lifted me off the chair and I almost fell off when the tooth finally came out. I was broke student back then, no car or taxi money. I walked out and had to spit blood constantly, tried to take the bus but had to get off at next stop due to all the bleeding and walked for an hour back to my dorms spitting blood every 5 meters. Was as good as new a few hours later.

As someone who had five wisdom teeth cut out all on the same day, followed by being in bed for a week with vomiting and an infection... I would NEVER expect my partner to cancel a trip that had been planned for so long with their friends. I would have scheduled it for another time, or had a family member come help me. This guy is clearly being a controlling d**k. However, if you've never been with a partner who actually cares about you, you might be tempted to wonder if you're the A-hole. People who love each other want their partners to be happy, and don't scheme to ruin their good time. If this had been an emergency life-threatening surgery, this would be a different story. This guy planned to ruin her trip.

Wisdom TEETH extraction? How many teeth did they extract? What is this, "not mentally prepared" BS? Although, it's a minor procedure, I decided to have mine done on a Friday (two years ago) so I have the weekend; but I still worked around the house. Because I could only eat soft food - i decided on ice cream. The best part of it 😁. IDK, but this guy sounds like he's too dependent on his wife; or, he wants to control her.

First off: things that have been planned for a long time and are not moveable come first. Also, I'd WANT my wife to have a great trip. And second ... "take care of me"? What would my wife need to do for me? Feed me? Bathe me? I'm a grown äss man with one tooth removed. Grow tf up.

The biggest issue is getting home from the oral surgeon after the procedure. Once that problem is solved, the dude has no leg to stand on. Two ibuprofen and one acetaminophen for pain and inflammation every six hours. Soft foods or soups depending on how you feel. No straws. Milk it for an extra day off work sitting on the couch watching Netflix. I'd rest better if my wife was out of town because she'd have me up and down all day doing chores.

Mentally prepared? My dentist told me I needed mine out (two were impacted), and I did it the next day, all four, with no sedation and nothing but Tylenol for pain. My face was so swollen I looked like a chipmunk. Three days later, I flew across the country. I even drove myself to and from the dentist. Dude is a WIMP to begin with, and this was all about sabotaging his wife's trip. She needs to leave him. This is always part of a pattern. I dated that sort of guy. Started with small things like having to leave my family reunion to go with him to get a new tire because he hadn't done it before we'd made the three-hour drive and it was bald. I missed almost the whole party. And it got worse from there. By the time I left him, I'd lost most of my friends and half my family wasn't speaking to me.

NTA no real pain/problem since the mental reparation was such big deal - try a different dentist If it cant wait and inconvinience everybody - his change of plans his problem. MIL could take care and you are in the spotlight couse you dont fit the "wifey coockie form" of the family and the are annoyed because you forgot you where his New mom. Make a small rebellion every day, plan your next appointment incoveniently and make him make a choise. I have three Kids with three diff. Things anxiety, adhd, autisme and I am very sympathetic to the fact you can have challenges with mentally preparing and be very afraid of stuff, but it is a task that should be handled like an adult also from mommy in law.

For the weird "it's a major surgery" YTA People: I had a pretty terrible time with getting all of my wisdom teeth out, and I STILL 100% would have been insisting OP take the trip. I had to have surgery as they were in sideways and some were burried (I had extras! Yay me!) . So I was put under. I had stitches in both sides of my mouth. There was a lot of blood in my mouth for the first 24 hours and the pain killers they prescribed made me feel super sick. So I wouldn't take it. I couldn't open my mouth enough to even fit a fork in for a day or two and the pain sucked! It took me a good 10 days to fully recover. I did need a ride home as is protocol, but I easily could have taken a cab or transit (I wasn't groggy/dopey, and had my full faculties). At no part in the entire process did I need anyone with me. It wasn't worth anyone cancelling lunch plans, let alone a trip.

And that's disregarding the actual problem: he purposefully booked his appointment for her trip, and didn't TELL her the fact for nearly 3 months(he clearly booked it at the start of this story as the slot would have filled up otherwise), waiting until 3 weeks before the trip to tell her. So no, he wasn't afraid of the surgery and needing her moral support. He didn't need her to care for him after the surgery. He was manipulative AF and lost his sh*t when he didn't win his little control game.

As someone who had a terrible experience with wisdom teeth removal, the husband is a whiny manchild. Personally, I think he was trying to sabotage her trip. I only had 3 wisdom teeth that needed removed, the top one was a slice and pull. The bottom two each had to be cracked in half, as they were further down in my jaw. Insurance would only pay for up to 12 shots of Novocain, and guess what shot number wore off right after they cracked the second bottom tooth in half? Did you guess 12? You'd be correct! Since the tooth had already been cracked, it had to be removed, and I couldn't afford to pay for the extra shot of Novocain. My body absorbs local anesthetic too fast, which is why I required 12 shots in the first place. The pain was awful, and even I was able to take care of myself afterward. Just couldn't drive myself home.

I had 1 wisdom tooth removed after a a cavity had reached the trigeminal nerve (very painful !). It took a week to find a surgeon and I took the 1st appointment. It was a local anesthesia and I rode home alone and went to my final exam the next day. Then, another cavity attacked the other trigeminal nerve 2 years later and that time they had to remove 2 wisdom teeth, still local anesthesia. The first tooth broke into pieces when they tried to pull it out, and the second one had to be cut into 4 parts. It took 45 minutes, I had 2 stitches ans I was awake the whole time. My father took me home, I never used any painkillers. I took the week-end and on monday I was in front of my students. This guy is a manipulative toddler.

Also, when I had my wisdom teeth removed, I just needed a ride home due to the anesthesia. Otherwise, it was like any other day. No need for a caregiver.

He saw my husband being an a$$, and offered to drive me home. Coworkers called me later that day to offer any help I needed, I just told them I didn't need any help, I'd see them the next day at work, I didn't need the day off as I thought I might. So, I was able to stand upright for a long time and talk to people in line, no pain meds taken. No problem! The funny part is, I got home, went to the bathroom, and saw myself in the mirror. I had blood all caked down my chin!
