i made it.

i'm alive.

i'm feeling no pain.

i'm numb.

i'm hungry.

so yeah. i'm fine. it's been 12 hours since the procedure and i've been taking my painkillers regularly and i'm in no pain. they strapped me in a chair this morning, gave me nitrous oxide first, then the nurse put the iv in my vein and i actually remember everything going black. and i didn't like the laughing gas. that just kind of scared me because, well... like i said. i don't like not being about my wits. people say enjoy it, it's fun, but i dunno. i just couldn't. i was thankful once they put the knock out stuff in me because i just wanted to be unconscious, not high. apparently the surgery took 20 minutes. they came out and told my mom to pull the car around. i woke up, the woman helped me out of the chair and walked me to the car. i had the hiccups for 30 minutes after i woke up i swear. it was so damn annoying. i vaguely remember leaving the place and being in the car. i remember asking if we could get squash for me to eat. i love squash. but i couldn't say it because of the gauze in my mouth. so i had to write it down. but i guess the directions said i could only eat cold stuff today so i don't get squash until tomorrow. we stopped at the grocery store where my mom filled my prescription and got some groceries, and i guess when she came back to the car i was sleeping with an ice pack against my face and my head against the window and there was this woman in the car next to me staring and wondering who had beaten me to a pulp. funny. so we go home and i drift in and out of sleep for an hour or two. and the dizzyness subsided and i've not been in any pain... just been numb all day. i still can't feel my lower lip or any of my chin. which means i have a lisp and i can't tell when i'm spilling stuff on myself. it's pretty funny. i just hope it goes away soon so i can talk normal and sing.

my dad and stepmom sent me a big bouquet of flowers today. that teared me up a little bit. and, after reading my scared blog last night, my mom decided to take the entire day off from work today to take care of me. that made me smile. she did a great job. rozi said once that i have a magic wishing blog. maybe he's right. :)

so that's kind of the story. not real exciting, but that's good. i didn't want an exciting wisdom tooth story. if you haven't had yours out yet, let me know and i'll recommend a good place. :)
