Oral Adventures

So, today I had a big 'ol bunch of fun. Nothin' gets a weekend rockin' like oral surgery from a stranger! I was uber nervous since I was completely unfamiliar with the doc, and chose him for a mere two reasons: he was covered by my dental insurance, and he could get me in.

I had both wisdom teeth on the right cut out, but this time, I was completely sedated. Damn-- was that good! He placed the IV in my elbow, and I barely felt a stick. I stared to say, "I am feeling a bit relaxed", but literally felt the sensation of mild relaxation, and I do not remember anything after that. I was OUT! Hot damned. I am swollen, and to my husband's chagin, my mouth is very sore. This guy gave me more vicadin-- with refills this time! I think I'm in love.

You always hear the occasional horror story about any form of sedation-- in fact, my husband said, I hope you don't come back pregnant! Well, the doc was a good sixty years old, but let's hope his motility is declining. After his wonderful expertise and craftsmanship, he could have touched a boobie and I don't think I'd care that much. I wouldn't send my daughter, but I would still refer him out! Just kidding. I have told everyone what a great experience I have had! I felt good enough to run out and hit three stores worth of errands with my daughter!

Well, tomorrow I have to get to work on cleaning the storm damage, and I think I'll just try to take it easy. I am going back to the library...just read a novel by Marian Chesney...a murder mystery....not captivating, but a good read. Maddie and I tried out another UCC church, the one that's closest to home, and we want to make sure we get to go again on Sunday morning. Now that I am part of "The Religious Left"!

I also need to get his weight off! Time to get motivated.
