POST-SURGERY

After days of being super anxious and nervous for today (Friday the 23rd) because I got my wisdom teeth out today...all four of them! I was most anxious for being put to sleep because I had never experienced it before. The whole concept just did not make sense to me and the rare possibility of not waking up scared the living bajeebies out of me.

However, I informed the doctors and nurses how nervous I was and that I had never been put to sleep so they were fantastic in informing me exactly what I was doing, asking me a bunch of questions about school, my tattoos, my summer and life as they put the IV in. After putting the IV in, the doctor said in about 30 seconds I would be very, very tired. I started to feel drowsy but I was still wide awake. I got the oxygen mask around my face and a piece of tape to cover my nose stud. The nurses started asking me about school and I told them and the next thing I knew I was in another room with gauze in my mouth and no recollection of what had just happened or how much time had passed. I was still very, very sleepy and wasn't all there yet. A girl across from me had two wisdom teeth taken out and we attempted to exchange stories with gauze-filled mouth and sedated brains/speech. Looking back, it must have been pretty hilarious. The nurses were giggling to themselves. After my new oral surgery friend had been discharged I still had to stick around for a bit and get everything checked out one last time. Still super strange just sitting here feeling way way to intoxicated to be in an oral surgeon's office but then they interrupted that thought by taking out my IV and preparing me for discharge.

My next few days are going to be on the couch and in my bed, resting, relaxing and recovering. So, after coming home today and resting some I came across an article on the 'Prettiest Towns in America 2013". These types of articles are my favorite! I love small, quaint towns and definitely want to live in one when I get older.
