Bye bye, wisdom teeth!

It was nice to have a day off on Friday, except the reason I was off was to get these pesky wisdom teeth out once and for all!  I put it off way too long.  As far as procedures go, I'll say I've had worse, but the recovery hasn't been so fun.  I don't remember much after the doc said he was putting meds in my IV that would make me cough (which did...ha).  The next thing I knew, I was awake and had a mouthfull of gauze!  All I wanted to do was sleep, so that's what I did, and let me tell you, that was the BEST SLEEP EVER!!!  It was so nice to have my mom and dad here to take care of me.  And Kerry was there, too, just as soon as he could get away from the O.R. on Friday.  Even Otis wanted to be in the bed with me and right in my face.  Such a sweet weenie dog :)

Everything is going fine though!  The right side hasn't hurt the first time, but the left is still a little sore because of the way the sutures are positioned. Not much swelling at all either.  Hopefully it won't last too much longer.  Things are looking up because I got my first solid food down this evening, and I will be going back to work tomorrow.

Since I last posted, we found out we will be having a NEPHEW!  YAY!  I can't think of a better Christmas gift for that side of the family. =)

I know I would normally post a picture, but since there wasn't much makeup or hairstyling going on this weekend, I decided to spare you this time ;)

Til next time!

Updates, updates, updates


I realize what a terrible job I've been doing keeping my blog updated lately!  I'm so sorry :(

I've been going home to Andalusia every weekend since Dad's surgery to keep a check on him and mom, and I'm happy to report he's doing fabulously!  He also got an A+ checkup from his cardiologist yesterday, and was told to keep up the good work. 

On to my laundry list of woes...or so it seems! HA!  I saw my (new) new neurologist last week, and have quickly decided that he's gonna have to earn my trust.  He put me on some new medications and was talking about possibly doing nerve blocks, which I am 99.9% against.  On top of that, after my appointment Wednesday, I woke up Thursday with an infected wisdom tooth that very rapidly got worse.  That being said, I now have an appointment to have my wisdom teeth removed on the 18th of this month.  Nice.  So here's hoping that procedure goes well, and the healing is as rapid as the problem started ;)

Kerry and Otis are still doing quite well and both are keeping me going!  Kerry's still making awesome grades and racking up cases in the O.R., and O is just his usual wonderful self.  I'll post later on and let you know how the teeth turn out, as well as how the discussion goes with Dr. Makki about shots in the back of my head (that I don't want...).

God Bless!
