SpoiledPixie389's Journal, 22 May 2008

So I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday... omg guys, this is NOT fun! I look like a chipmunk and the pain was so bad that it actually made me cry and I am not a cryer when it comes to pain. I mean I have a couple tattoos... 14 piercings, and I willingly went under the knife... so if the pain made me cry, best believe it really hurt! I also have a fear of needles and almost passed out at the dentist yesterday. I walk in there and my heart rate is in the 90's and the dude goes to put in the IV, I look away because I don't do needles (yes tattoos and piercings... I've heard that before but its not the same as getting a need jabbed into your vein) so anyway he goes to put the thing in and it just didn't feel right, so I tell him I'm starting to feel sick, I also apparently turned really pale, I look over and my heart rate dropped to 47! They gave me oxygen and leaned me back and he goes to my other arm. I ask what he's doing and he tells me he blew the vein so they gotta use the other arm... damnit! Anyways I was out a few minutes later and woke up um... not in great condition, haha. After some pain and some tears I called a friend and got some motrin since the percocet was not helping much and realized that a combo of 800mg motrin and the percocet is a great way to make things actually not hurt so in about an hour when I can take the motrin; I'll be a happy camper.

As for food... they weren't kidding; it hurts to eat! I'm so glad my friend told me to get Ensure cuz that stuff has been my life saver! I'm really gonna try to stick to SB while I'm like this, but I think I'm more concerned with not hurting my mouth so here's to hoping I can at least stick to phase 2 foods and lose the weight... not gain (even though I know Ensure is mainly sugar). On a side note that's kinda crazy that I realized... um, I only have 24 teeth left... weird! I had 4 removed when I was in 5th or 6th grade... the pointy ones (which I actually liked and wish they woulda took a different set, oh well) and now my wisdom teeth so ya, only 24 left!

I also got good news that my husband might be back in September!!! Which would mean I only have like 3 1/2 months to go!!!! I really gotta kick it up on the exercise thing but I am so excited and can't wait to see him! =)
