Randy and I were having fun playing in BlogShares and made some yummy B$ profits but, I logged out early at past 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon to accompany my daughter to St. Luke's Medical Center.

At Dr. Joel Ferrer's Dental Clinic, N-617 CHBC, Pearl had the X-ray before she had the oral surgery at 2:30 in the afternoon. We brought the digital camera with us so we can take video coverage of her surgery but they won't let me come closer to her due to sterile environment. Couple of times I saw anaesthesia was injected, I know it hurts but, daughter's impacted wisdom tooth has to be removed as her right jaw was swollen for the past two weeks.

At 4:18 p.m., I received a Chikka message from Randy asking me how are things going. Surgery was over then and Pearl had the briefing about post surgical home care. She was in terrible pain as anaesthesia's wearing out. Instead of replying back through a text message, I called him at 4:25 p.m. via overseas call and told him what has happened.

Sweety Pearl couldn't take the pain anymore and hurriedly left the clinic while I paid Php 10,350 only for Odontectomy plus X-ray. I was planning to go to the grocery after dropping Pearl home but, plan was changed because Randy wanted to make sure Pearl arrived home safely. She didn't wait for me anymore and I went home alone. I passed by in Mercury Drug and bought new ice bag and some Gatorade for her. She will be on a soft diet for 3-5 days.

When I arrived home, daughter locked up herself in the room. I filled the ice bag with ice cubes and gave it to her. Earlier, on my way home, I was furious she left me alone in the clinic but Randy explained to me how painful daughter was feeling. So, scolding her won't help her feel better. Then, I chatted with Randy online and asked him to sleep. It was late on his side but he wanted to know whether Pearl was fine... he stopped me from going for shopping as the 24 hour period is critical for Pearl and I must be on her side all the time.

The first oral surgery is just the beginning of the many more dental treatment daughter will undergo. Thank you very much, Randy, for being there for us...
