I HATE Wisdom Teeth

Day 1 Day 2
Yesterday I went in at 7:30 to Dr. Marshall's office to have all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out. Jessica went with me as the "responsible driver". He put the I.V. in and I asked how long it would take to put me out. He replied "about 5 minutes" and after that he said that I would start to feel a warm sensation in my right arm and eventually down to my toes! well... it took him about 10 seconds to tell me that and that's all that I remember! Before I knew it, the nurse was asking me to stand and it was time to go. I guess I wasn't ready since i collapsed and her and my sister somehow got me out to the car. I remember being in the car looking at myself in the mirror and then passed out till we pulled up to the house. My Mom tried to get me out but I collapsed again and they had to get Christine's chair and wheel me inside. Once I was in bed my Mom got one of those safety walls, so you don't roll off the bed, and put it on my bed. I woke up completely nauseous!
Just my luck that was the day that Aunt Arlene and Luke decided to come visit! So they got to see me at my worst when i could not talk and I was still out of it. After they left, my old friend Mikey Lacey decided to surprise us and pop in! I could not say much but it was a nice visit!

Wow, girl! You take the drugs well, huh? At least it's a surgery you only have to do once. :)

Awe Kari, I know exactly how you feel, when I got my wisdom teeth out I was in the most pain of my life. Plus when my cheeks swelled up they didn't go out, they went down, I looked like a puppy... it was awful!
