Hey everyone,
I know it's been a while but I've been crazy busy with classes and getting ready to get my wisdom teeth out. I got all four out yesterday which was an interesting expericne because I'm away at college in Florida while my family is currently in New Jersey. At first I thought I was going to have a friend drive me to and from the appointment but then I found out they only remove wisdom teeth in the morning and all of my friends have classes in the morning. So, my father made arrangements to make a business trip and visit a client in Florida and told me he would drive me to and from the appointment. He came down on Wednesday and took me out to dinner and then on Friday he picked me up to take me to the oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth out. I could tell he was a little nervous about the fact that he was flying out later that day and leaving me with the Nurse at school but I wasn't too worried about it. Actually, I was pretty calm, I shocked myself a little.
So we get in the room and they take my blood pressure and pulse and all that good stuff and then tell me they're giving me an antibiotic just in case so they have to insert an IV in my arm. They try and find a vein in my arm but they can't so they finally find one in my hand and insert it. I'm an expert in this area because I've had so much blood taken before that I didn't really care but the nurse asked me how I was and I said I was fine. She turned around to ask my Dad how he was doing and he passed out. I mean passed out, almost fell over the nurse had to hold him up and call for the doctor and they put ammonia under his nose and it still took him a moment to wake up. So they had to bring him into another room and get the blood back into his head. Finally they came back and put me to sleep, and that was it, I woke up in what felt like the next moment and all four of my wisdom teeth were gone and my entire mouth was numb.
Of course this is when they choose to talk to me and ask me how I am, I mean seriously I've got cotton balls in my mouth to stop the bleeding and my entire face is numb how can I actually talk back. My first instinct was to sign but no one around knew sign language so that instinct sort of was put away so I was forced to just nod and every once in a while try and say something. I wasn't too tired after which I was expecting I would be. I got back to the school and was put in the nurses office and went to sleep for a couple hours. Then I woke up and the nurse asked me if I wanted any pain medication, the obvious answer was yes. It was only after most of the numbness wore off that I realized that my mouth feels like it was run over multiple times by a very large truck. I took the medication and it made me drowsy so I slept a little bit longer and went back to my room. Then I took the pain medication again when I could and fell asleep at about 6 in the evening and slept until about 9 this morning. I took the pain medication again now and i'll probably go back to sleep. I'm almost 100% sure that I won't be tired after this weekend haha.
Well that's my story, I'm going to try and blog on here a lot more often now. I'm going to try to get around here once a day and post something interesting.
