wisdom teeth extracted
i just got my teeth pulled yesterday. ill give you a timeline of what has happend so far.
7:30am - arrive at oral surgeon. begin filling out paperwork.
8:00am - finish paperwork. get brought back to the operation room.
9:10am - get the IV sedation. begin to feel really warm [first time going under] i try to stay awake, but end up passing out. :]
10:30am - arrive at home with absolutely no recollection of anything that just happend. my mouth hurts, but the doc gave me two lortab to help with the pain. apparently i had to be wheeled to the car, and kept nodding in and out of consciousness on the car ride home. when i get home, i pass out.
12:00pm - wake up in excruciating pain, swap the guaze pads, swap the ice packs, take a lortab, and go back to sleep.
2:00pm - same as above.
3:00pm - mom arrives home from work to help my dad with caring for me.
5:00pm - swap guaze again, swap ice again… really bloody still. ran out of the lortab, switching to vicodin now. still in pain, it is lessening, but still there. i look at myself in the mirror, and to my amazement, i am not that swollen.
7:00pm - forced to eat ice cream… i am not hungry at all. and it is a really strange feeling to eat…
9:00pm-12:00am - trying to fall asleep, but i slept too much during the day, so it is really hard to sleep.
DAY TWO [today]
8:00am - wake up, swap the gauze, swap the ice, move off the couch into my bed, take a vicodin.
12:00pm - i took the guaze and ice packs off. i feel okay, not great, but ok… i have pretty much clotted up. it hurts to open my mouth wide. and i am still not hungry at all. i am trying to drink powerade… but i am having trouble. my tounge feels really swollen. but whatev. other than that… i am feeling pretty good.
just thot id let you guys know about whats goin down.
