So as of 11am I no long have any wisdom teeth… Some of you may know the level of anxiety I had leading up to this…
I was anxious for a few reasons:
- I saw Jason when he had his done… he was crazy, moaning in pain and throwing up… I wasn’t looking forward to that…
- It was my first time ever going under or having any type of surgery…
- Based on difficulties my mom and sister have with IVs… and my one attempt at donating blood… I knew the IV could be painful and an issue…
Well, so far things are going well… The Dr. got the IV in with one try, he opted to avoid my arm and went straight for the back of my hand. It hurt less than I expected…
I felt awake for the whole thing, which was weird… I heard the Dr. and nurse talking all the time… it was very strange. I woke up much quicker than other patients Jason and I saw leaving… most need assistance to walk, I was totally fine… In fact on the way home I ran into the grocery store with Jason for pudding and yogurt…
So far I haven’t had too much pain, there is some pain… I took Ibuprofin as soon as I got home, and I just took my first prescription pain pill… I still have a little bleeding… Putting the gauze in makes me gag, and talking while I have the gauze in makes me gag… but as of right now I think I will survive this!
