Abscess Tooth Surgery Pain Free
I had a tooth
extracted. The dentist had quite a
struggle getting it out. It had to be cut out and there was much hard pulling.
It took a long time. I didn't know if this was normal for teeth being extracted
or not, and I was told that this was about as bad as it gets when it comes to
pulling teeth out these days. Of course, it was really bad when they used no
pain-killers.
So, being told
that I could expect some heavy-duty pain when the feeling returns, I was given
an extra strong prescription of pain-killer, and was told that I should start
taking it right away before the pain starts to try to head it off, because once
it starts, there is no curbing it for a while.
When I was told
to expect the pain, something rose up within me and said silently, within
myself, "I will not expect pain--He bore my pains (Isa.53)". I
decided to not fill the prescription.
I went home and
related it all to Becky, and we prayed about it, with me committing myself into
the hands of the Lord.
One hour passed,
two, three, and at one point I was concerned that there was no pain, so I
called the dentist. I told the whole story, and it was related to me that pain
is normally there, the only cases being those in which the people prayed. I
said, "Well, I am one of those cases, because we prayed, and I have had no
pain.” The dentist said she had prayed, too.
That evening I
ate some eggs for supper and I slept like a baby that night and never suffered
pain from the feeling returning to my mouth from the surgery.
We praise God for His deliverance.
