Torture is...

  Torture is....when the dentist tells you that you can't eat for the rest of the day because he just patched a filling that came loose. That was 4 hours ago and it's now 5pm. Come morning, if I make it, I'm going to eat everything in sight!

  The last time I ate was at 10am. To run salt into the wound, I'm making dinner for the troops right now. Woe is me.

  The only times I've fasted were for surgeries which I hope I'll never have to endure again.
  
  My bloody filling worked itself loose after I had breakfast this morning. I thought I was a food particle stuck in my tooth. After I worked it loose with my tongue, I realised it was a filliing. Suay suay that I'm inbetween dentists and had to find one in a hurry.

  Torture is.... when the itch gets so intense that keeps me up all night. That was what happening with me last month with my tick infection + dermatitis. While my rash seems to flare up and weep again recently, I am glad it's not that bad to affect my sleep (yet!!!)!

  i've actually employed that tactic when i could not sleep.. but i've since lost that accursed textbook
  
  torture is also.. when you actually have to figure out the textbook without lapsing into a deep irreversible coma

  What's worse would be if you scratched at the area in your sleep. (pause) Do you?

  For the life of me, I just can't remember the author of that Econs text. Lee Ming Yah? Something like that? Truthfully, I was very enthusiastic about the first couple of chapters. After that it was downhill all the way.

  *touch wood* Heng ah, that's never happened to me. I have one small wisdom tooth that erupted. The rest are still embedded. A couple of dentists have suggested extracting the one that erupted but I've been stubbornly resisting.
  
  The hubster has a different tale to tell though. He went in for a routine exam and the dentist suggested extracting twp of his wisdom teeth. But alamak, the hubster kena sabo'ed. The bloody Navy dentist extracted all four at one painful sitting! The hubster has a small mouth and couldn't take the bite block so he had to stay awake through the entire thing.

  *Nod nod*
  
  At the moment, I am trying my hardest to resist myself from scratching it as it only gets more itchy the more I scratch (then the scratch-itch cycle will never end).

  the only author of my text i can remember is the Contract Law book.. Yvonne Yamouni...
  
  only because she was the lecturer and a small woman.. and very intimidating.. and she scared the crap out of this Aussie Rules Football player in my class
  
  he actually confessed that "she's the scariest woman i've ever met.. my knees are still shaking" to us immediately after the very first tutorial
