--I could totally see myself being a drug addict, these pills I am taking are great. They completely relax me, and I love it. lol. Of course I would never get addicted so don't worry! :-)
I got my wisdom teeth taken out today. I was so nervous this morning let me tell you. So we got to the office and I ended up sitting in there for an hour because the doctor was behind. It must have been *wisdom teeth removal day* at the office. There was one guy before me, and then a girl after me. They both seemed really calm. I on the other hand was getting really iritable because I hadn't ate since 9:00 the previous night and I hadn't had a drink since 11:30. It was not good at all, I almost started to cry like seven times, but refrained myself. I guess it also doesn't help that I was having really bad cramps because it's that time of the month. (sorry I am sure you all didn't want to know that)
Finally the nurse called me in. I had to go into a room and change into a gown, I got to keep on my tank top (i had underneath my hoodie) and my pants, so it made no sense really. I could barely tie the stupid strings cuz I was so shaky from nerves. So I get into the room and the nurses were trying to calm me down by talking about college. I admit it made me feel better.Thens he had to stick me with the IV which really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I didn't look at it when she did it though either, so maybe that helped. I do think that I could give blood now, because it was the whole IV thing that scared me about it. So maybe now I can accomplish one of my goals. After the IV was in she put these blue things on my middle fingers, and my elbows (?) I don't really remember...oh yeah she strapped me into the chair too. The doctor came in and put the anesthesia and then the nurse put something in my mouth. The room got blurry and that's all I remember of that room.
I woke up into a different room, and I was in a different bed, which I don't remember being put in. I looked around a bit and then fell asleep again. I woke up again, and the nurse said something and changed my gauze, and then I drifted off to sleep again. I woke up again and she helped me put on my hoodie, (I don't know what happened to the gown, beacause I had it on when I first woke up) because I couldn't figure it out. lol. I feel asleep yet again, and then I woke up and tried to keep my eyes open this time to look around. I heard the nurses in the hallway and they wheeled in the girl that had been after me. She was talking to them, so I wonder if I had talked, I honestly don't remember. The nurse saw me awake and asked if I wanted to go home and I nodded (i think?) and she told me I had to keep my open for awhile yet. So I was trying, but it was quite a task. My parents came in and talked, the doctor came and I told me I was fine. So I had to get up and I'm sure I made a fool out of myslef. The room felt like it was moving, the nurse asked if I was dizzy, I lied because I really wanted to go home. My parents had to take both of my arms and I felt like an old lady and I didn't like it at all. They were walking so slow, and I'm a speed walker, so I was trying to get them walk faster, even though I was shuffling my feet! lol.
I got home and went to my bed and layed there and watched tv. My mom had to fill my perscription and get some ice cream from DQ. She was gone forever, and by the time she got home, my numbness was giving away. My mouth hurt like a bitch, let me tell you. I took my pill, and tried to eat the ice cream, but it was a snickers blizzard and I could not eat it. I started to cry, because I was hungry and my mouth hurt so bad. I was being a huge wimp, I don't know how I am ever going to have kids! My mom got me some strawberry ice cream from the freezer and that was much easier to eat. I felt 100 times better after that, plus my pain killer kicked in.
So now here I am, I don't think I'm going to eat much the next couple days. That's not going to fun, but I got ice cream at least! :-) The painkiller is nice too, haha! I just took one and it's kicking in right now....yay! :-)
