so how much wisdom did I keep in those teeth...
As I mentioned in my last blog, Wednesday was the big surgery day. I had the last three of my wisdom teeth taken out. Before going in to this surgery, I was quite the nervous one. But honestly, the surgery part was a breeze. The ease of this procedure was most likely due to the fact that I had the nicest dental surgeon. Dr. Heine is great! I highly recommend him. He made me feel so much at ease. And I know it wasn't the drugs, cause he is the one who put my IV in, and he made me feel relaxed before that. The IV wasn't bad at all. He told me they used a different one from hospitals. Well I liked this one. All I remember was seeing the lady put about three syringes of medicine in me, then I laid back in the chair, and I closed my eyes and opened them again to see it was over. I swear it was like I just blinked and everything was finished. How amazing!
As far as I know, I didn't say anything crazy hilarious or embarrassing. But once I swung my legs around that chair, I realized standing up was going to be tough. I took a deep breath, stood up, and started out the door. When you are having trouble controlling the use of your limbs, sometimes it is better to get some speed up for travel. If I didn't try and get some speed going, I do believe I would have toppled over. Well I finally made it to the car. I am sure everyone watching me walk got a good laugh out of that, or they were thinking - look at that girl, drunk and it's only 10 am. I am sure that is what I looked like. When I finally got back to the car, I was ready to get home. I then realize something else was completely different with my body...my head felt like it weighed around 40 pounds now! I just couldn't seem to hold my head up long enough to look at where we were going. I finally gave up the fight with my neck of supporting this HUGE melon of a head and laid back.
I tried to sleep the first day, but my stomach was just so messed up from the medicine they gave me for the pain. I sucked it up for a while, cause I WAS going to take those pain pills. Although I have felt no terrible tooth pain thus far in this adventure, I DO NOT want to know what I feel without the pain pills. Well I just couldn't take the throwing up anymore on Thursday. Mom called the Dr and he sent in a prescription for anti-nausea medicine. Ever since then, I have been getting better and better. Now I will say this, I sleep ALOT when I am taking the medicine. But that's ok. So for the last three days I have been sleeping and resting as much as I could. I hadn't talked much until this afternoon. I started speaking more that using gestures, and I am a little sore in the mouth. I should probably try not to talk that much for another day. I know, that sounds like an impossible feat for me doesn't it?! :) A friend of mine told me the yesterday that I would be the perfect girlfriend right now. He is such the charmer, isn't he...yeah right!
Not talking so much, I can do that. But here is what I am tired of missing...FOOD! I am so ready to eat some regular food. You know how it is though, when you can't have something, you want it all the time. A few more days won't kill me, I suppose.
