None the Wiser...

I haven't posted in awhile...again!  I'm kinda bad at this whole blogging thing.  But then again, I haven't really had anything going on worth blogging about.  I'm back and forth between Fayetteville and Springfield for the next few weeks.  Sessions are going well, and I'm still broke as a joke.  This week is a little different though.

I get to stay home in Fayetteville all week!  Woo!  But this does not come without a price...

I had all four wisdom teeth takenout Monday morning (8am to be exact).  It only took about 45 minutes.  I was really nervous about the anesthesia, more importantly what I would act like on said anesthesia.  But it went a lot easier than I was expecting!  Mom said the only weird thing I did on the drive home was try to clean off the clock radio display.

Recovery has been ok.  I didn't have to get stitches, so that makes things a little easier.  I have this sweet action ice pack to put on my face to help with swelling and pain.  I have to take penicillin four times a day for infection.  I was also given oxycodone, but thankfully I don't really need it anymore...down to tylenol now!  And let me tell you, oxycodone makes you loopy!

I picked a terrible time to get the surgery.  Yesterday I missed hanging out with my Sunday School class eating some tasty ribs and a ginormous cake.  This week is also my grandma's and my dad's birthdays.  They are going out to Olive Garden tonight.  I'm not sure if I'll go, but if I do all I can eat is maybe the inside of breadsticks and some soup.  No straws, no caffeine/carbonated beverages...all I've had for the past couple of days is ice cream, pudding, soup, and drugs.  But I'm hoping this will be a kickstart to some weight loss!

Anyway, thanks for all the prayers, they have definitely helped!  Please continue to pray for my recovery.  I hear the third day is the worst for swelling and such.  Hope everyone is having a better week than I am!  Enjoy solid foods, drinking through straws, and carbonated beverages!!
