Yyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
But...
...the end of the school year brought about a sad/scary event along with it.
Yesterday I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out. All 4 of them. Every single last one.
I wasn't really all that nervous to actually get them taken out, I mean I was even looking forward to it because I was starting to think that I could feel pressure from them under my gums.
But the thing that I was scared about was that I would somehow be coherent during the surgery and feel the pain. THAT got my heart a-pitter-pattering.
Luckily, I am glad to say that I don't remember anything. Nothing at all. All I remember is them putting the gas mask over my nose, sticking the IV in my arm, putting the heart beat monitor thing on my finger and putting the blood pressure cuff on my arm. The nurse lady told me that the gas (I think it was nitrous oxide?) would make me feel tingling in the ends of my fingers and toes and that I should breathe deeply so that it would relax me.
Well, she turned it off before I felt the tingling and so I thought it wasn't working which got me even more un-relaxed.
The next thing I know, there is gauze in my mouth, and I think I watched them take the IV out of my arm, but I'm not totally sure if I actually saw that or if I just dreamed it or something. Then the nurse lady walked me down the hall to the recovery room. All I remember of there was sitting on this chair being freezing cold, and I thought I heard the nurse lady tell my mom that my top two wisdom teeth were in my bag, but I couldn't keep the bottom ones because they were broken into little pieces. (And apparently I did hear that right because I just asked. Hmmm, wierd.) Apparently my took a short video of me while I was in the recovery room that I have absolutely no memory of. What a strange feeling, watching a video of me where I'm smiling and talking but not even remembering it happening.
Then the nurse lady and my mom walking me out to the car, and then all of a sudden we were at Walmart and I don't remember going there. I remember being sad that my mom didn't come back with ice cream, but she said we were going to be coming back to get my medicine after we got my sister from school.
Then all of a sudden we were at my sisters school, and again I have no memory of driving there. I think I remember a little bit driving back to Walmart because my sister was talking to me the whole time.
My tongue, my bottom lip and my chin were numb all day yesterday. It was really annoying because I couldn't eat or drink without spilling because I couldn't tell where my lip was at haha. Then my tongue FINALLY un-numbed and sometime during the night, I think it was around 4 because I remember waking up my lip and chin were starting to get feeling back. They were all tingly.
Now my mouth feels like it was punched on both sides, my gums are swollen, and I can't open my mouth very far at all. The only good thing about this is that I get ice cream whenever I want, I get to watch movies all day and I get to order people around and they can't get mad! =D Just kidding, I don't actually order them around, I just ask them to do things for me. I guess sounding a little funny has it's advantages...
