Morning of the surgery. Nothing to eat or drink for six hours. Getting up in the morning and realizing that there is no way to brush the night off your teeth. I died a little bit inside. I’m the kind of person that cannot go out in public without scrubbing my teeth. So maybe that was a wee lesson in humility. Got to the oral surgeon, sat in the waiting room and filled out a bit of paperwork. After a while, one of my nurses got me situated in my chair. It was chilly in that room, so she promised me a blanket. She fastened a blood pressure cuff around my arm, hooked me up to these little oxygen tubes in my nostrils, put me on the IV and fastened little stickers with wires connected to them on three different places on my body. Does anyone know if they were EKG stickers? Next another lady came into the room and she was the one that hooked the IV catheter to my arm. I had never gotten a needle in my arm, so one of the nurses held my hand. And then yet another nurse came in. Three nurses. Wow. Then the doctor came in. He put one of the syringes in my catheter in my arm. He was going to put a second one in. I can’t remember him putting the second one in. The last thing I remember is lolling my head on the headrest and wondering what it feels like to go to sleep by force. I got anesthesia every fifteen minutes. The next thing I remember is the nurse waking me up and telling me to keep my eyes open and look around the room. It was horribly hard to keep my eyes open. They helped me put my coat on and then the nurse sat me in a wheel chair and wheeled me out a side door to the car. My mom drove me to the orthodontist and they quickly attached a bracket to my exposed tooth. You see, I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed and an impacted tooth exposed. So it was a full day. As of today I am only eating liquids. Water, mashed taters, ice cream, and pudding. I slept a lot when we got home, but right now I’m reading on my phone and communicating with people. I am not allowed to sleep laying down, so tomorrow I will probably wake up with a sore neck. I have to sleep sitting up. I am not allowed to talk until tomorrow sometime, or when the chewing motion quits stimulating bleeding. The only way I communicate with my family is with the boogie board. It’s really tiresome writing out my thoughts when I know that I can talk so much faster. But all in all, I am really thankful that there were no complications and that I am at home again. This was a weird post but I wanted to write it out so if ya’ll have questions please refer to this post. Please text me. I am very bored. Thankyou for viewing this post. Merry Christmas to my dear people. To you. I love you all.
