Lack of Wisdom?

Over a month ago I had my wisdom teeth removed in the morning. My dad was supposed to fly in to take care of me, but my mom needed emergency eye surgery, so we decided that he should stay with her. We ended up having surgery on the same day, what are the chances right? Luckily we both made it through, she had a huge eye cast on, which was weird to see. How one gets a detached retina no one knows, apparently age is a factor, which is not something you say to a middle aged woman, no matter what! I’m surprised the surgeon wasn’t mauled to death! Anyway my surgery went okay. I was really nervous, and my aunt was nice enough to take me there and let me stay at her place to recover. When I got into the surgeon’s office I made some joke about it being St Patricks day, and hoping no body had been drinking yet, and no one laughed! I guess that means they had already been drinking! They then took my blood pressure and attached some thing to my thumb. The surgeon then tied some plastic thing around the top of my left arm, and I had no clue what he was doing! I thought I was going to get gas to put me asleep but instead they did IV! They made me look away when they put it in, and then I saw the nurse strapping my arm down to the chair. The surgeon told me my hand would start to hurt, then I would become woozy, then I would fall asleep. Right away I got a horrible pain in my hand and I told him, he starting putting something inside my mouth, then I passed out. It’s all I remember of the surgery. When I woke up I was in some recovery room, but I can’t really remember what it looked like. I could hear my aunt talking to the nurse about my care instructions, and I remember falling forward and having the nurse push me back and tell me to try and stay upright. Then we got to the pharmacy where once again I passed out. Not without first texting and calling my boyfriend (I don’t even remember this phone call! I don’t know how I even called!). I also tried to read an e-mail from my mom on my blackberry, and I couldn’t really see so I closed on eye and tried to read. I could hear the pharmacist say “she looks really pale, you should take her outside, she’s going to faint” and I remember saying “no I’m always this pale” haha. My aunt still pulled me outside to take a couple deep breathes, I’m sure the public enjoyed staring at me and my fat face! My aunt then took me home, and my uncle had to help me out of the car, and blood came streaming out of my mouth when I bent forward, luckily we were outside and not on the carpet. My aunt made me take a T3 and then I slept for two hours on a chair. After two hours I stopped bleeding, and was awake, which was pretty lucky. One unlucky thing was that one of my sutures came out on my right side, so I could feel the gash in the side of my cheek, the surgeon said that there’s nothing to worry about and that it’ll heal pretty quick without sutures. I managed to eat a little scrambled egg, and took all three of my meds. They all  kicked in at the same time, and I could feel myself start to sway - I felt great! No pain, no nothing! The rest of the day went pretty smoothly, except the left side of my tongue is still numb, apparently everyone reacts differently. I have a friend who’s chin was numb for three days after. My tongue is still numb, so I hope it goes away soon, it’s weird feeling like half of your tongue weighs 5 pounds. I spent the night at my aunts and managed to get a good night sleep, though I did wake up a lot to move so that my face would stop hurting. I also have to pee like all the time thanks to all the liquids I have to drink. I swear Thursday was the healthiest day I’ve had since christmas! Eggs and home made veggie soup - NO CANDY OR SUGAR! Amazing. My face is pretty swollen though, when my cousin showed up the first thing he did was puff up his cheeks, didn’t even say hi! Went right into making fun of me! I still managed to go shopping today, my aunt had to go to the mall to meet her accountant, so I went to buy another piece of my brother’s birthday present. I shopped around for about an hour, but everyone stared at me. I look like I got into a fight or an accident. Swollen, slurred speech thanks to numb tongue, slow walking and a shaky hand - fun fun fun! I did a little too much moving I think though, because my stomach and my back hurt for a bit. My aunt and I went to White Spot, where I had a very small amount of chocolate shake. Then at her place I had more soup, while everyone else had pizza! So unfair, never have I wanted fast food so bad. Then my uncle drove me home, where my boyfriend met me at the door. I had really awful back and stomach pain, which freaked him out and he wanted to drive me to the hospital. I told him no, drank some milk and felt a lot better. So here I am, swollen faced and in sweats. I’m just glad that it’s over. In a month I get braces and in a year I have jaw surgery. One step closer to the perfect smile! Oy, but one can only imagine how much of a baby I’m going to be after jaw surgery! So anyway getting this surgery done, don't worry you'll survive =)
