Hi

Ok, so I am not one tenth of one percent. I survived my wisdom teeth extraction.

as miserable as I am at this point, I have to say that it was a lot better than I was expecting. I went in and they hooked me up to a heart monitor, a blood pressure monitor and an pulse ox. I then had about 10 minutes where I got to try to play with my heart rate and blood pressure. I got my heart rate down to 56, but then the dr would open up the door to the room I was in and my heart rate would shoot right up to 70-80ish. yea.. I was a little stressed.

I cried when they injected me. I remember wiping my eyes, but then I was out. I then remember them calling my DH to sit with me. I had a huge taste of blood in my mouth, but not an excess of pain. I felt a lot like I do when I wake up from a heavy night of sleep.

my face is swollen, and I know something happened, but the narcotics they gave me are doing their job. Yesterday was surprisingly easier than today so far has been. I'm tired and achey. I feel like sleeping through the night has gotten me too far behind in the meds. I'm a little dizzy, and my tongue is swelling..

it was fun to look at my gowear fit results for the surgery. I can see the stress before I went in - not excessive, just a little extra burn. No extra calorie burn during the surgery though.

Although I do feel as though I could probably force myself to got to work. Except for the fact that since I'm on narcotics I've been told not to drive. I also haven't pushed myself at all at this point, so who knows what might happen if I try to put clothes on.

It is going to be a nice warm day. I think I'm going to try to get out and enjoy a small part of it.

But first, a nap.

maybe I'll be back...

This is really odd for me. I am going to have my wisdom teeth removed (yes finally) and I'm going to be put to sleep to do it.

Now there is that one tenth of one percent chance that I might die during the proceedure.. with sedation always comes risk. so I'm looking at my life as if I might be leaving it tomorrow. What do I want people to find when they 'clean up' after me? Oh this is good, I'll leave that. No, I don't want them to see my 1000 links on the computer of personal stuff, I'll have to clean that up.. etc.

really is odd what I'm doing. and really odd what I find important to not have people find. I mean I'll be dead, what do I really care?

and yes, I know, one tenth of one percent.. I'll be back.
