The Dreaded Wisdom teeth removal weekend is over. On Friday I went to the oral surgeons and they hooked me up, and I promptly lost consciousness. I woke up sometime later with my jacket on in a different room… They say I rode in a wheelchair, but I certainly don’t remember it. They gave Jonathan maintenance instructions for me and we went home. I spent most of the time hungry and speechless, while Jonathan waited on me and I watched way too many hours of mindless Television. I watched Star Trek and Home improvement shows, we watched A Walk to Remember, Ice Age, and then later Laura lent me “Laura” which was interesting… I also saw the TV versions of Runaway Bride and Pretty Woman. Jonathan did banking on the computer. The pain meds make me really dizzy and disoriented. I am back at work and just on Ibuprofen, not as effective for the pain, but no debilitating effects. The first day my lip stayed numb for 21 hours. Every once in a while one spot still feels numb, but it comes and goes. I cannot smile- it is too painful and the attempt looks more like a grimace than anything happy. I received an adorable get well card from the Ferguson’s- with a cute kitten and Jonathan got me pretty flowers to cheer me up. I am very glad it is over with and can’t wait to chew something again, and brush my teeth!
God Bless, Chris we are praying for you and your surgery, and Grandma- we are really glad that you are ok and back home. We love you all!
The Up's and Down's, In's and Out's of daily life with a loving husband, a sweet boy, a fun-loving gal and a new life in the Philippines! God has indeed blessed us.
