Ok, now that I am fully awake... -lol-
I was given two valium before I was knocked out. I was feeling relatively relaxed after that, and then, like most said, they shot me in the arm and in about three seconds I took my last conscious breath and was out. Now, I do not know if this is because of the valium or because of the knocking out, but I woke up and everything was double vision and confusion. I felt like time had slowed down, or sped up. I probably fell back asleep a few more times to explain that, but I just didn't know. Either way, I remember sitting up and calling for Michelle, but she wasn't able to get in back with me, finally one of the aids came and got me and walked me out. She almost gave me to the wrong person! -lol- Some guys daughter was also getting surgery and they tried to give me to him instead, luckily Michelle piped up and said "I'll take that!" So.. Walking in the heart of St. Louis to the car... yeah.. I don't exactly remember that part. I remembered being told to lean against the car, and that Michelle poured me into said car, buckled me in. There was some time lost in there somewhere because I don't remember leaving St. Louis. I know she said I HAD to eat something. WHy do Oral Surgeons rip out your teeth and insist you eat something? Either way, I got a milkshake, and felt better after two or three spoonfuls of that. And we got my prescription when we got home (Melody puked in the car on the highway, still can't figure that one out). I came home, took off my shoes, changed my pants to sleepy time pants, took a tylenol with codeine, and passed the slick out.
As of right now, I don't even think I'll be away at all. My left side wisdom tooth was just pulled. There aren't any stitches or anything. The right side is stitched up, and it hurts, but nothing that is too awful or terrible. So the tylenol should take care of me. Just kinda bare with me if I get loopy and begin to make no sense whatsoever. -smiles0
Thank you all for your support and prayers as I felt anxious and freaked out about this new experience. And even thanks to Poppa who basically said "No need to worry, all will be well, QUIT WORRYING!" -lol- Not what I wanted to hear at the time.. but yes... He was right.
And Alex.. You're my hero.
