Wisdom Teeth...

So, I've been having this molar come in, hidden under gums. Yep, wisdom tooth at 22. Marvelous. My brother had his taken out when he was 14 or so. Why so late? Go me....anyway.

On Friday, the side of my face hurt that I had the tooth coming in. Mom decided to call the insurance and see if I could get an x-ray to see if it was just one wisdom tooth or more were joining the enameled army in my mouth :P

We end up going to some oral surgery facility about 10 minutes from the house. Nice place, interesting people...let me just say to anyone that wants to be a receptionist: Don't wear slutty clothes! I don't need to see the outline of every little thing you have on underneath that mini-skirted dress. Gaaaa! Anywhoo...

They took an x-ray and found out I had 3 wisdom teeth...yeah I have a nonexistent 4th one, wahoo! They decided then and there that they would like to fix them. Yay for me. Since I had eaten breakfast, they couldn't give me morphine. I got stuck with Novacaine and Laughing Gas. That stuff is nasty, but it worked well. They drilled through one tooth to get it out, then basically cut the gums for the other 2. I was done within an hour.

Now, being the oldest in the family, I must also be the overachiever. So I was nice and only threw up once, in their toilet rather than the floor. I was able to walk out of there. I definitely felt nauteous for the entire ride home and the next 3-4 hours lying in my room. At least I had 800 mg of Ibuprofen - I refused the Vicadin.

Sean came to visit me - kind of awkward because of the past week, but enjoyed having the company of someone I hadn't seen in a while. I think things were taken the wrong way, but we'll see what the future brings.... My nausea went down after the 800mg wore off and I started eating the frozen peas that I was using to keep the swelling down on my face.

Today, my face blew up like I had a ball in one cheek. Excellent. And I babysat like that, too! I get brownie points, right? :P

Tomorrow I'm hoping to work in the nursery with my Mom. I might have work (subbing again!) on Monday, but I haven't heard from anyone yet other than the possible affirmation on Thursday when I left the school. We'll see we'll see!

For now, this is One Cheeked-Chipmunk, signing off!
