Wisdom Gone

I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Monday. I get very nervous when I have to have any medical work done. I ask a lot of questions about what will happen and how much it will hurt. My brother was great at answering my questions and assuring me that I would do fine. I knew I would be very anxious before I went in so I was able to take a nice muscle relaxer. I am sure if you talked to my dad he could tell you that I was a little weird once the drug kicked in. I do not remember much before I got in the chair but once I was in it I did not seem very nervous. I decided ignorance is bliss so every time Jer would pick up a tool I made sure to close my eyes while he brought it to my mouth. I have to say the anesthesia he gave me was great. It numbed my entire mouth, and the bottom portion of my face, so any pulling or cutting I did not feel at all. It was an interesting experience and I defiantly over thought the pain. The first day was the worst. I felt very nauseous from all of the blood I swallowed. I was on hydrocodone so Char, Nate, my mom, and dad did a great job of taking care of Zoe. She was very upset with me because I was so out of it and feeling sick. I slept pretty much all of Tuesday. Char drove back and took care of Zoe while I drifted in and out of sleep. I got home and crashed on the bed while Philip took care of Zoe. When I woke up around 8 PM I decided I had enough of the drugs and just stuck with ibprofen. I felt much safer getting off of the hydrocodone. My mouth hurt but not enough to make me want to be loopy all day. It has been four days now and mouth is a little sore but I can eat anything, I just have to take it slow. I am glad my brother is such in awesome dentist and cares about the comfort of his patients. I do not have any pictures of the teeth but I took some cute pictures at the Sarver’s the day before. Enjoy!
