"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 (:

& this is why my papers aren't in yet: Doctors & Dentist

So today I went to the dentist, to get my check up done & figure out whether I needed my wisdom teeth to be taken out or not. I didn't even get my teeth CLEANED. I got X-Rays and a mini awkward check up I'd say. But this is the schedule for now.

1. Wednesday, April 17th, I'm getting my cavities filled. I'm so upset that I have cavities. -____-"
2. Monday, April 29th, I get my wisdom teeth taken out. Not too excited for that. I hate the fact that I will be put to sleep, because 1. I NEVER ever EVER wanted to have any kind of operation. & 2. I'm terrified of what I'm going to say o.o
3. I don't know WHEN, but I have to go to a Periodontologist which is just a fancy name for Gum Doctor. About a year ago some of my gums on my bottom tooth ripped off. Hurt like CRAZY, but it's gone & done now. The dentist wants to make sure there is nothing wrong with it though. -______-" I think I'm okay but better safe than sorry I guess...right?

Anywho. Next week, Tuesday, I'll be going to the actual doctors to get on the medical part (I guess this is medical too...but you know what I mean.) and I'm not looking forward to the shots...>.< Goodness, I feel like a guinea pig for these doctors. In the end though, serving a mission is all that matters to me (: & my Lord.  & I'll face my fears of having a (oral) surgery or getting shots to serve and bring my fellow brothers and sisters closer to God & Christ. It's all worth it.
