How exciting!!! I got my wisdom teeth removed this morning thanks to an amazing God who is miraculous. At the last minute, the insurance company got their act together and said they'd pay their share. Not typical, but wonderful!! Prayer works! PRAISE JESUS! Everything went well. I've never had surgery before...it was interesting.
So, we go into the Dr.'s office and i start talkin' a blue streak cuz I'm kinda nervous...we met this nice lady in the waiting room who said that she got her teeth taken out without being knocked out so she got hers done in the hospital and even then, she said she didn't feel any pain. That put me at ease a little. So, then I got called back and had to sign all these papers. I think I was a little obnoxious cuz i read it all out loud. Trying to calm my nerves, when actually my blood pressure was pretty low. (it was around 63 ish while i was doing the paperwork) But, when the doc started feeling around my arm for a vein it shot up to around 100...lol. Anyway, they stuck me with the anesthetic needle in my arm n it was the weirdest feeling.
I started talking to this girl on my other side, trying to distract myself. Her name was Leslie and she went to Collin County Community College. I told here that I'm at Texas A&M University-Commerce, but as I told her this, i felt in the back of my head this dark heaviness. Like a fog slowly creeping through my brain. I don't really remember much else. lol. But while I was under, I had this kinda dreamish thing...it was a lot like Fantasia. You know, the first part where its just shapes moving to the music...there was no music, but these red shapes moved around for a while.
When I woke up...you ready for this?...I couldn't stop laughing. I remember laughing when my conscious mind clicked in, but apparently the instant they took the anesthetic out, I started laughing like crazy. Couldn't stop. Everything just seemed so funny!
Right before they knocked me out, though, as the lady left the room to get the doctor, she asked me a question which struck me as funny...she asked me, "Do you want to keep your teeth?" The first thing that popped into my head was...'isn't that why i'm here? to get them out? of course i don't want to keep any in there!' but then i realized what she meant and now I have 4 huge teeth in a toothpick container. They really are big. Each one is about the size of my thumbnail. No wonder it was so painful while they were in there! i now have a lot more room in my mouth! Anyway, I'm bringing them to Commerce with me, so if anyone would like to see my lovely teeth...you are more than welcome to!! :D
Anyway, at the moment, I'm feeling great. Swelling's gone down in my tongue and almost everything has stopped being numb...except my bottom lip. Granny says I don't look like anything's wrong with me. My appetite hasn't been hindered either...I'm on my fourth baked potato(mashed so i don't have to chew). No nausea, feel fine. Praise the Lord.
Thanks for your prayers!! ♥
Grace to You & Peace
