"Not bad, you can still smile after all that pain."
-The Dentist

Justin got 2 of his wisdom teeth removed today.
He was slightly disappointed when they covered his eyes before the operation.

Something surprised him after the surgery. Before the anaesthesia wore off, his lower lip began to itch- but when he scratched the part, he felt nothing. Could that possibly mean... that the source of the itch was not at the lower lip... but just the brain playing tricks on him?

Anyway the anaesthesia has worn off by now and his DVD-rom drive has just conveniently failed on him, so Justin faces the pain alone. But really, what is that compared to your exams?


PS: If you really want to encourage me in my suffering, ignore hong's comment and give my gun a name. (See below)

yea perhaps the urge to scratch is a monosynaptic reflex hence the dendrites of the jaw's nerve cell transmit directly to the motor neurons that link to the muscle receptor in your arm, which occurs in the cranial nerves in the spinal cord that bypass the brain i dunno y i'm doing this biopsych exam is alr over (literally and metaphorically)...zzz haha.
