Thoughts...

So, I am almost fully recovered from my wisdom teeth experience. I am thankful that I never have to do that again. Since my dentist pulled my teeth, I only got the gas and was awake during the whole thing. It was weird. They did everything that an oral surgeon would do except put me under. So I obviously couldn't feel anything, and I couldn't really hear anything because they let me listen to my iPod (they warned me that I might be able to hear ligaments popping, so I opted to listen to music), but I was [somewhat] aware of what was going on. It freaked me out a little when they were finished with the first tooth. Partly because I was under the gas and that stuff makes you loopy anyway and partly because they cut a big hole in my mouth and pulled a tooth and I had no idea. So before they pulled the second one, they asked me if I wanted to stop and do the other one on a different day (I don't remember if I said this before, but I only had 2 wisdom teeth, both on top). Anyway, are you kidding me?! Don't ask me if I want you to stop doing something I didn't want to do in the first place and I am not in my right mind! No! Get this over with and get me out of here. Geez. But, having said all that, I did like the fact that I felt like myself 10 minutes after they were done and I didn't have the lingering effects of anesthesia all day.

And, I discovered that I do not respond well to narcotics. They gave me hydrocodone for my pain, and my mouth hurt, so I took it. Bad idea. The next day, I could not keep any food down. It was bad. On top of that I had an allergy headache that could rival any migraine. Tuesday was a bad day. But now I am pretty much back to normal, thank goodness.

On a different note, my family is coming in tomorrow and I am so excited! I haven't seen my brothers since August! Hopefully the yucky weather that found its way down here today will go away and we will have nice weather while they are here.
