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.
