Bye, Bye Wisdom Teeth

I got my wisdom teeth taken out today.. I was so nervous because I had never been put out or been worked on before. I kept thinking I would wake up in panic with so much pain but Ididn’t ….thank god! I ‘m a big baby and don’t want to be in pain.

Waiting in the room with gas and oxygen attached to my face was kind of funny. I would stare at the chain with the IV bag hanging from it. The nurse would come in to check on me and another nurse would walk by and close the door until it was cracked cause the previus nurse would leave it wide open. I stared at the clock from 10:25 until 10:45.  My fingers got a little tingley but that was it. I kept thinking, “I hope this isn’t all they are using..” The doctor came in and put in the IV. He then told me how he would give me something to make me go to sleep and an anti-inflammatory that may make me itch. I said, “Okay,” then I was waiting for it to itch and the nurse said, “Okay Heather, are you ready to stand up?” I was done!! I sat in the recovery room with a pillow behind me. I was still attached to the annoying heart monitor. I was looking at a package in the window but the words were blurry. They would go in and out of focus and I thought it was funny how it was so amusing.

Now I am at home icing, laying down, and trying to stay ahead of the medication. My sister Jacki brought me a McDonalds dipped cone. It was sooooooo good but it stung :/ It was hard to eat, I just wanted to scarf it down but it hurt too bad. Maybe later I will try to conquer some raspberry JELLO.
