After the Sugery

Well, its done...the teeth are out. I was so nurvous this morning, and aparently it was all for nothing. I got there and went to the Op room where I was introduced to the anastesiologist, who I adored. He was so funny! I was all talking about my bad experiance with my anastesiologist when I had Murphy and the next thing I know I was being told "Its all over with." I woke up all weirded out, and extreamly talkative although I couldn't speak very well. On the way home we picked up my scrips, and then the truck broke down about a quarter of a mile from the apartment! OMG I was so upset, lucky us though, we had some REALLY nice people help push our truck out of the intersection then after helping us try to get it to run again, and failing they gave us all a ride home, the lady had her husband come by trying to see if he could bring their tow rope, but they couldn't find it, aparently they loaned it to a friend. They were the nicest people-I wish I could remember their names now, I really can't. The numbness in my mouth is now starting to wear off, but I took a couple of the pain pills while we were in the parking lot messing with the truck, I also took out the gauze, and that actually helped me feel much more comfortable, I suppose I should put some more in as its bleeding, but I really couldn't stand to have it in my mourth, and I know I can't spit, but its way in the back o my mouth so I don't really taste it as its going down my throat. I'm a little worried because one of the possible side effects of the sugery was loosing the feeling in my tounge, lips, cheeks and/or chin, I haven't gotten them back yet but I do feel the numbing starting to wear off...hopefully it will come back. They said that it is VERY rare for this to be perminate and most likley only lasts a few days to a week a few months at the most. My bottem lip looks like I had a collegin implant and if it wasn't for the swelling in my cheeks I'd look pretty hot right now, well as long as I don't smile because I haven't dared to brush my teeth, and there is blood on my teeth, and where I wiped it off is a bit yellow. Eww. There is also a possibility of a sinus infection due to the top wisdom teeth's roots being connected to the sinus cavities, and its possible I'll have to go back to get those holes closed back up if it doesn't heal properly-I so hope this doesn't happen because I already have enough issues with my sinuses. All in all it wasn't to bad of an experiance and I believe once the numbing goes away I'll be able to have some yogaurt, right now I'm sipping on a slim fast shake, I was starving-I guess it's a good thing I like those things, right? I was thinking ahead last night when we went grocery shopping-figured I wouldn't be able to eat many solid food for a while, and I also knew that BECAUSE I COULDN'T eat I would end up being starved by the time it was over with, now normally I don't eat til lunch time any how, but when ever I CAN'T eat for whatever reason, I always end up hungry as a homeless person. I don't get it, I didn't get any coffee this morning, which really sucks-but I'll get over that. I may be able to have some tomorrow morning, and I think I'll need that kick in the morning I'm so sleepy right now, I'll probably be passing out shortly but I don't know how I"m going to sleep I generally sleep on my side, can't do that now though. Well-peace out!
