Weeeeeell, got mah widsom teeth pulled this morning.
I'm actually feeling alright...better than I did a couple of hours ago, anyway. sweatdrop
God, it was so weird! So, I went there, and then nurse and doctor told me how the procedure was going to go, and all that, and then they hooked me up to a heart monitor, and a blood pressure thing. They also put these clamps on my left and ankle and my right arm...I'm not sure what those were for. xd
After my mom left the room, they said they were ready to get started. So, they gave me this mask with oxygen and laughing gas that I was supposed to breathe in through mah nose. I did this for about 10 minutes, and then I started to think that it wasn't going as planned. The doctor seemed a bit perplexed, and kept asking every few minutes if I was starting to feel woozy or not. I finally replied: "I feel the same way I felt the last time you asked me." Meanwhile, the nurses were having a hard time inserting the I.V. in my left arm...so they tried my right. I felt a lot of pricking and annoyed sounding murmurs from the nurses. I guess they were having trouble finding my vein. xp Finally, the nurse told me to take REEAAALLLLY deep breathes through my nose, and not to breathe out or in through my mouth...and that's all I remember.
I vaguely remember getting up off the table, and with the help of a nurse I stumbled to a bed thingy, waiting for my mom. I was kind of..."weepy". xd I really just wanted to see my mom, so I was crying a little, but the nurse thought I was in pain or something...
So anyway, they gave me a crapload of gauze, an instruction sheet, and a lot of encouragement...and then we went home.
From that point my mom came back with two bottles of perscribed pain killers (whoot!), a bottle of Sprite, chocolate pudding, and some awesome ice cream which name escapes me at the moment.
The swelling is supposed to get worse over the next couple of days, but hopefully I'll have a speedy recovery. ^^
