chipmunk

guess who had their wisdom teeth yanked out? yup. me. i thought it was gonna hurt a LOT worse than it does but thank God for painkillers and anti-swelling pills that taste like poison =).
i awoke at 6:30am, barely being able to open my eyes, i was so tired! by 7:10am my mom and i were on the road to east Windsor. word of advice: never be on the road from 7-8:30am. the traffic was horrendous! we weren't THAT late, only like 5 minutes, and we still waited for about 10. oy vay. so they called me into the room where the procedure would take place. after my blood pressure was taken and i was hooked up to the heart rate monitor, a tall, blue-eyed, dark haired, lovely smile, early 40s man walked into the room: my doctor. i've never been to a doctor who i couldn't take my eyes off of. the first time i saw him, i was decked out for my senior portraits. hes gorgeous, im gorgeous, thats it. if i could marry a man who ages as well as that man has well...i'd be sooo lucky. now i see i have been rambling. back to my surgery.
after he gently stuck an IV in my arm, checked my lungs, and told me it wouldnt be bad at all, the anesthesia worked its magic and i was out. the only problem was, i woke up in the middle of it! i felt pain, moaned, the doctor said "shes waking up." then i was out. when i woke up and was put in the recovery room, there was a huge lump in my throat because i was so scared. that realization that i woke up freaked me out! i tried to be strong, blaming my watery eyes on the meds they gave me but i was a bit shaken up.
we returned home where i took my place on the couch and snoozed. food did not pass my mouth until around 10pm (Italian water ice). yes, my stomach was growling, eating itself away, but i couldn't bring myself to take food. so crazy!
today, however, i have eaten. my mouth is a little puffy though. when i sent beth anne a picture she said i looked like a chipmunk. =). i can't speak for very long because i fear my stitches will come out. (one has already become loose, but it'll dissolve either today or tomorrow)
so jill just came over with her mom. they dropped off a bouquet of flowers! daisies, roses and some other pretty flowers. i feel VERY special right now. THANKS JILL!!! so as soon as she came, we went upstairs to talk about the current events that have been happening in my life. i will not discuss them here because...well, this blog is public haha. all i'm going to say is, im taking it slow. VERY SLOW. jill is definitely helping me keep everything in perspective so i thank God she's my friend and she's 5 min away. i feel very much refreshed having spoken to her so...im good! =)
