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 (:
