I'm a pincushion.

I went to the doctors today! :D For the first time in years. I've gotten 2 physicals before, & yeah I've gone to the doctors when I was sick, but not for an actual check up or shots. Today was different & I was nervous.

The last time I actually got a shot was when I was 4 (I think I mentioned that in my last post...but I don't remember,) so actually going, knowing there was a 90% chance I was going to get a shot today was a bit terrifying. I'm scared of needles. I don't like anything poking me causing me pain. But after the IV on Monday I was praying it wouldn't be that bad. So I go called into the doctors & had the normal "weight, height, blood pressure, heart rate, ect." check up. My doctor came in & she was very sweet (: I had to get a new doctor considering I had a pediatrician last, and I'm 19 now. Anywho! She told me what was going to happen today, & that I probably needed immunizations--that just means more shots. But thankfully I wouldn't get them today :D Today I just got a TDap shot, a TB test, urine test and blood drawn! So I got the TB test done first, which was one thing I really wasn't looking forward to. My friend Kyle got his done & stared at it while it was happening, and so he threw up after he watched his skin bubble up o.o" So looked at the needle, saw it was tiny, looked away, felt a pinch, then was done. I really had no idea how quick and easy that was going to be! The TDap shot was easy too, the lady just kind of pinched my arm, poked me, injected the shot & was done (: Easy-peasy-lemon-squeazy!!

But then, getting my blood drawn...yay. Definitely wasn't looking forward to that ): Injections, sure okay. not too bad. But having blood come out of my body...not something I'm too fond of. But so I went to the lab and there was a guy who was going to draw my blood. Wasn't too terrified considering I just had 2 needles in my body. This couldn't be any worse right? Wrong! He looked for my vein in my left arm, thought he found it, stuck the needle in my arm, which actually wasn't just a "pinch" this time, I felt him moving it around to actually pierce a vein, he attached the little vacuum and guess what?! No blood came out. He took out the needle & told me to stay there, he was going to get another person to draw my blood. So this other lady came & tried to find a vein in my right arm. It took her a while, and a lot of poking, but she finally found one. She was nicer, and talked to me a bit saying there'd only be 1 needle in my, but I'd be filling up 3 vials of blood. She poked me & started taking my blood. My face pretty much said "this is h-e double hockey sticks" She asked if I was okay, I responded with "I'm not too fond of needles. How much longer will it be?" And she smiled & said I was done! I was so happy. It probably took 30 seconds. No more blood or pokes 'til...Friday. Yay! XD I'm extremely proud of myself to be honest, I didn't cry (: Which is a HUGE deal, because I'm a chicken. But knowing how they feel now, it's not as scary for me (: My arm is sore from the TDap shot, but that's the only thing (: My arm is itching from where I got the blood drawn (or where I should have....both arms itch) I'm sure in the morning I'll be okay though!!

So an update with my wisdom teeth less mouth, everything's been going pretty swell (: I've been eating more food thankfully! For breakfast I had cream of wheat with a vanilla protein shake (with bananas & strawberries!) It was delicious. I didn't eat anything for lunch really, cause I had breakfast around...11....:30...AM XD but for dinner I just had KFC :D I ate the mash potato bowl (: And I somehow managed to eat the fried chicken as well! It was boneless, and I didn't eat all of it, but I managed to eat most of it! :D After that I finally had the chance to eat Uswirl (: It was delicious! But the only hassle I've had is brushing my teeth. It feels uncomfortable to brush my tongue. I feel like my bottom right hole starts to open slightly. So it's really hard for me to not freak out, but I try to manage :3 It'll get better though! I know it will (: But Friday I'll be at the Paramore concert, I hope I can be off my pain meds by then! I've been taking them only when I'm awake for about every...4-5 hours instead of strictly ever 4 hours. If I wake up & ache I'll take one & go back to bed. But I think I'll be fine by Friday (: I drove today, so that's a plus too!

I hope everyone who reads this is doing great! I have the periodontist appointment, and then I'll be able to submit my mission papers (: I'm beyond excited and can't believe I'm almost there! I feel so blessed to have everything go so smoothly so far (: The Lord loves us all. I testify of that!!

"Bye Bye Smart Teeth"

So today (April 29th 2013) I got my wisdom teeth out. Out of all the medical things, this is what I've been the most scared of. Only because I've never been put to sleep ): It's probably the most terrifying thing I could possibly think of. I was also scared of being "loopy" because I didn't know what I'd say.

I woke up this morning around 7AM, sent off my letter to Elder Davis, and was off to Absolute Dental for my oral surgery. They took my x-rays, and I went in to the actual "surgery" it was probably about...9:30AM. The doctor was great, he was a funny middle age guy & made me feel a lot more comfortable than before. He asked how I was doing & I told him honestly, "terrified." He told me he's been an oral surgeon for a long time & explained what I needed to do after the procedure. So I sat down in the chair, completely nervous, & he was telling me about how he'd be putting the IV and the next thing I'll know is that I'll be awake with the procedure over. He couldn't find my veins so had to put the IV in my hand (this was the first time i had any kind of needle in my skin since I was 4...) next thing I knew was the assistants asked if I felt light headed, I told them no and then I was out. I woke up crying and coughing.they told me I was done, and when I checked the time it was 10AM o.o so pretty much took less than a half hour to have my wisdom teeth pulled (:

It hasn't been too painful. I've been taking my pain meds every 4 hours, drinking my meals (thank you magic bullet!!) and randomally crying. I'm not even kidding, my dad called my mom and I just started crying cause I couldn't talk to her yet. So when he left to costco I called her & talked to her for a bit.
Down side is I'm still bleeding (it's been 15 hours...) I just would love to stop bleeding. I'm actually kind of scared to go to sleep, but I don't think it'll be that bad. It's just me being paranoid.

But Wednesday, May 1st, I get my doctors appointment, which shouldn't be too bad. But then this Friday is Paramore's concert :D Should be a good week (: 

Elder Cox (:

So, I wrote Stirling's companion last week, sent it off the same day as Stirling's letter. & guess who I got a letter from!? :D Elder Cox (: I'm kind of slightly in love with his handwriting. and the best thing is, when i opened the letter the 1st thing that was there WAS A POKEMON CARD!!!!!!!!! O; super in love with that kid. He's awesome :D but yeah (:

Short entry!
Hopefully i'll be getting out my wisdom teeth monday ): if not i still have my doctor's appointment next wednesday. No matter how things happen, things will work out (:
