Are they drilling on the roof or in my head?

Heh, the wisdom tooth removal is over. I went to see my dentist and I said to her that I was terrified - and she immediately sat down and said that she could refer me to a surgeon who could put me under some sedatives if I preferred. No pressure, but the assistant explained that it wasn't going to hurt, it was just going to feel uncomfortable... so I decided to be a big girl and go ahead with it.

My lovely dentist stuck my mouth full of needles and after couple of minutes I couldn't indeed feel a thing. Since the tooth was under the gum she had cut it open which sounded really gross but didn't feel painful. Then the drilling began, and the pushing and the pulling and it was indeed very unpleasant, but... well, did I mention I couldn't feel anything? She put in about four stitches - yep, discomforting and weird, but no pain. The whole operation lasted maybe half an hour and my dentist praised me on how brave I was, and then it was over.

So I sat up, and she explained the deal to me about what I need to do, what to eat, bleeding, pain, and so on - and that's when I started feeling dizzy. I almost blacked out and they went to call Dragon, but he was in a meeting and couldn't answer. I sat there for a while, but I started to feel better so managed to get up, get an appointment for removing the stitches and go home.

I took a good amount of preventative painkillers and parked my ass on the sofa. I think the drilling sound comes from the roof and not from my head. I feel fine, but the freeze (half of my face) is only going to last for about 9 hours...
