Wisdom Teeth
Well I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. I was so nervous going into it. Then they get me in the chair and I was still shaking. They start giving me the laughing gas and I start to relax. Then they prick me in the arm for the needle. The last thing I remember him saying was here is the medicine to get you off to sleep. You should be out in a few minutes. I must have went out like 5-10 seconds later because I don't remember gradually dozing off. Then I remember waking up in the chair and them saying everything went great. "Let's get you to recovery now." I went into the recovery area and they took my blood pressure. I think I dozed off again for about 10-15 mins. I remember being aware that Tara came into the room, but I think I was still kind of sleeping. I laid there a for a little while not feeling too bad. The worst part of the whole ordeal was the drive home. I couldn't get comfortable in the car. I kept getting hot flashes and nausea from the medicine wearing off. I wasn't in too much pain, but as the freezing came out I always hate that tingling feeling. We got lost on the way back from Barrie and ended up over by Milford Bay. I think it delayed us about 30 mins. It was raining which didn't help the humidity in the air. I ended up throwing up twice from the heat. I tell you I did feel about 50% better once I threw up though. Oh yeah, I also had 3 nose bleeds in the car. When we got to Wal-Mart finally to pick up my meds and I was finally able to get out of the car and get some fresh air I felt much better. I will give Wal-Mart credit. They got my prescriptions ready in record time. I think we only had to wait 15 mins in total for them. I'm going have to remember to give them a thank you card. Then I got home and managed to eat half a cup of chicken noodle cup a soup down. I stayed up for about 20 more mins before dozing off on the couch for about 4 hours. Then I was back up at about 9:30, stayed up for about an hour before going back to sleep for about 6 hours. Waking up at 2:30 to take some more pain medicine and then back to bed. I woke up at about 9-9:30. Had some soup Beef this time I think. I had a couple of popsicles, read some of my book "Mystic Warrior" by Tracy and Laura Hickman. Then I went and had a nap for about an hour. Then Tara called and I talked to her for a little while. Then I had another cat nap. So that is my adventure thus far. I'm feeling 100% better than yesterday. I'm a little sore around the mouth, but no real pain.

We're Engaged!
Yes, it's official Tara and I are engaged. I asked Tara to marry me last night after her Godspell performance. I had Jeff and Heidi run down to the locks ahead of us and setup out the picnic blanket, some chocolate covered strawberries, and a bottle of white grape juice. They lit the candle and hide near by guarding the site for us. When we arrived I lead Tara down to the site by the water. I fed her some strawberries and well the rest I'm sure you can probably figure out.

Chris McKnight and the future Mrs. Tara McKnight (Welch)

Cars are fun.....hmmm!
Cars can be fun when they get you places, but when your tire goes flat and you don't know how to change it. Yeah, happened tonight. It was freezing out. I will thank God for having Tara with me. I don't think I could have dealt with it on my own. Also, I have to thank Jason (Tonia's husband) for changing the tire for me. I will have to get him to show me exactly how he did it once the weather is warmer.
