Feelin a little weird.
Four wisdom teeth pulled this morning, and I had to miss the Spaceship v. the Mustang trial, which I was looking forward to.
Although, I have to say, I like whatever anesthesia they used during the surgery. It was an IV, which I knew going in, and honestly, was what I was most concerned about. I’ve never had one of those before, and I’ve had a terrible fear of needles for all my life (which I’m slowly getting over).
But this stuff is awesome.
Not two minutes after they stuck it in me, I was out cold. And for those two minutes up to that point, you can feel it going to work. Very cool feeling.
The surgury was about an hour long, and I guess thats about how long I was out, but I can’t remember anything else until I got home.
Apparently, we stopped at Stop & Shop to pick up my meds, and we stopped at Everything Ice Cream where I apparently wanted a milkshake. I don’t remember any of this, though.
But seriously, if I ever need to get anything done, I totally want this IV thing. Love it.
I’m on vicodin, which I gotta say, is really over-rated. You’d have to take a ton of these things to get a buzz off of them. They do well enough to ease the pain in my mouth, but I’m pretty level headed and not at all loopy.
Now the unpleasant stuff.
I was about 15 minutes late on my second dose of pain-killers, which resulted in my mouth hurting like it had never hurt before. If you ever gotta get your wisdom teeth out, make sure you don’t miss them doeses.
I had an ice pack on each cheek for about 8 hours today.
I still can’t keep food down. I puked up most of my milkshake earlier today, and most of my dinner between the Fractal Recursions and The old man and the tree posts. Its mostly from swallowing too much blood, I think.
So, all in all, much fun…or something.
The good news is I’ll be updating again. I might also try to do some backend work on this site since I’m too messed up to really do anything else.
If you see me on IM, please, bug me. I’d like to talk to people.
