stop now. begin.
I got two out of four wisdom teeth taken out on Friday. Originally I was supposed to have all four removed, but my bottom two are high risk for nerve damage, so I chose to remove only the top two instead. Eventually I will most likely have to undergo the risky surgery, because both bottom wisdom teeth are impacted and could cause long-term damage. Scary! I'm quite blessed, and have never dealt with extreme health problems. This is the closest I've come to permanent, life-affecting health problems... I'd hate to only have 50-75% feeling in my lips and cheek area. It's a scary/depressing thought...
That being said, I have a lot to be thankful for. I haven't left my apartment yet, due to a swollen face and low energy. But my mom is here, taking care of me, providing meals and company. She's great, and we've had some good talks. This afternoon I was reading on my 17th-floor balcony. The sun was warm on my face, and I was really enjoying the moment. All of a sudden I heard a clip-clop sound coming from the street. It sounded strangely like horses' hooves on pavement. Sure enough, when I peered over the railing I saw a horse-drawn carriage carrying a bride and groom down Jackson Street. As they turned the corner onto 5th Street, I could hear cheers from the rest of the wedding party and their guests. What a perfect day for a wedding - sunny and gorgeous.
So despite my chipmunk-face and borderline-boredom from lack of contact with friends, I'm doing alright.
I hope and strive for good things...soon...
