Wisdomless

 
My wisdom teeth came out today May 10, 2013. I wasn't nervous yesterday or this morning driving there. However, once I had the consultation and was signing the awareness of things that could go wrong pages, I got so nervous! But it was okay. The nurses were lovely and very nice to me. And they took me to the surgery room, and took my blood pressure and put some sticky things on me to read something (I'm not sure what, but it made me feel better because they were looking after me!) And then the doctor came and told me to open and close my fist like I would do when giving blood- and then I had the needle stuck in my veins. The doctor then said, You should feel drowsy in a few seconds now..and I was thinking- I'm not drowsy. Not yet. Then things started to get blurry and swirling and I honestly don't remember anything until I sort of came to my senses in the recovery room, mum and dad were there, and a nurse with a wheelchair. She helped me stand up and sit on the chair and everything, then she wheeled me out- but I don't really remember anything. I remember getting in the car- trying to say thank you...I don't know if I said it or I just said it in my head or if she could understand me at all. In the van, my eyes were shut for most of the time, and I remember puking alot in a bag that mum found..I don't know where. I came inside and sat on the couch- eyes shut again, then I think I fell asleep. Then puked an awful lot again. Slept again. Puked again. Slept again. Puked again. Slept again. Puked again. Then feeling better, I ate some yoghurt. I had drunk lots of water since coming home, but generally that got puked up along with some medication. I also drank some guava juice, but that came out as well. But after eating the yoghurt and some more meds, I feel much better. Now, I'm feeling better although it feels like I have some huge holes in my mouth. Maybe I'll post a picture of how I'm keeping these darn icepacks on my cheeks, and yes I know I look ridiculous. Although, now the ice packs are a little warm, so maybe it's time to switch them out!

  1. Awww! you poor thing. I hope you are feeling a lot better.
    I guess that i shouldn't tell you that Scott had his wisdom teeth out last year - he woke up a bit dazed - had a small amount of swelling for a few days and ate normally as quickly as he could.
    I am not telling you any of that!
    Lots of love x
