Wisdom Teeth Fun!

Last wednesday I had my wisdom teeth removed. Really horrible. Ugh. Why didnt I get this done when I was younger so I could have forgot this by now? First, I kept coming out of anaesthesia during the procedure. I also remember everything that occurred even though I was supposed to have no memory of it. I feel you do not easily forget the sound of your teeth cracking out of your mouth. The real fun happened after the procedure. My wonderful husband came to pick me up after the surgery and I slept for many hours after. Then the side effects of the medication came... paranoia, rapid heart beat, hallucinations, anxiety. This was how I was for over a day. Lucky husband! The doc decided to use a drug on me that is 100x more strong than heroin... on me! The girl who doesnt abuse even asprin gets one of the worlds strongest narcotics. I had to go back to work on monday and I had a public presentation to give first thing in the morning. My pupils were about as wide as saucers from the pain meds and I had to answer questions from the audience. This was interesting. Oh well... at least it is over with!
