Teeth!

So who would have thought that one day I would be back to eating baby food... Well the time came this weekend after getting my wisdom teeth out. First of all, I highly suggest to be put to sleep for this procedure because you wake up feeling great. But then when you wake up from your nap a couple hours later after your procedure, you better have a Vicodin in hand. Once the pain killers they give you wear off you're gonna need something.


Not to mention, along with the pain, I look like I belong in the Alvin and The Chipmunks movie, part 1 and 2. I also already have rather large lips and to realize the amount those bad boys can swell up is pretty overwhelming. To tie this in with eating, it took me 45 minutes to eat a yogurt because my whole face was still numb and swollen and I felt slightly challenged. Let's just get this straight, I LOVE food. So when it came time for my daily cravings I didn't know what to do or eat. I have now found a new love for broth and baby food.


A couple more great times to this surgical procedure was when they strapped all the oxygen and handy dandy equipment onto my body I felt like an alien and then attempt one of the IV did not go as planned. It didn't hurt which was a plus but I woke up with a large bruise and red rash around that area. I hope I don't have to slap them with a law suit in a week or two for using a meth addict's needle for my IV. 

Gladly, IV attempt 3 went as planned. And the last fun instance that happened was they told me as I was going "under" that I might have an asthma attack when I wake up so they hope I brought my inhaler, which I forgot so that was grand as I was being put to sleep. 


After I just sounded like a complete drama queen after this surgery on my wisdom teeth, I would like to set the record straight that this wasn't that bad at all. With my luck I knew this was going to happen and I wasn't nervous at all. Just makes for a funny story and good blog material.
