Wisdom teeth...
Yeah.. My weekend is finally over and I would love to be able to stay home and heal but I need to be at work. I had my wonderful weekend start friday morning. I got up and got ready and then was driven to the dentist. I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out. The top too came out very easily but the bottom impacted ones took a little muscles and alot of pain to get taken out... and yes I was awake and aware of the entire thing. I think it was kinda cool. Afterwards they gave me gaze to be able to put in my mouth to stop the bleeding. I was told not to drink anything out of a straw or spit and to not brush my teeth for 3 days... well I did what I was told. I also was told that if the bleeding didnt' slow down in 4 hours to call them back.. so 5 hours later when the bleeding didn't slow down to much on the bottom sutured ones, I called and was told to go see the Dr Spence. He is a great dentist and was so sweet and kind and waited for me to arrive and then took care of the problem. And he also wrote me another vicodin pescription which came in much use on Monday when I ran out and was still in pain.

So this weekend was full of Grey's Ananomy and Movies of all sorts. I was able to get caught up to the current session of Greys cause my sister#3 (sister in law) had the first two sessions and that was fun to watch. I slept alot and hurt alot. I tried not to talk but even that didn't help much. I spent this weekend in pain and then stupid me.. I decided that I didn't need to eat anything before taking my pain killers one morning and was sick for most the morning because of it. Oh well.. at least its past. It does hurt to talk alot and so I try not to talk as much as possible. I am at work today and yes I do answer phones and I am here because I can't realy afford to take any more days off without pay (because I don't have PTO yet to use) and things are getting tight.

I got up this morning and though my mouth hurt really bad and my left ear I decided that work was the thing to do. I am glad though because I do need to get out of the house... and I need to be very careful when driving on these meds so that I dont' fall asleep at the wheel or do something stupid.

I am very glad that I had these four wisdom teeth taken out, because even though I hurt and the pain is running to my ears, I know this will past and I will be better and I won't have to worry about tooth aches randomly coming up and being in constient pain for days on end due to these teeth they call wisdom teeth.

I must say that I did enjoy being taken care of by my wonderful husband and being lazy with an excuse to be lazy and to be able to just lay and watch tv. I don't watch much tv... even if there is a show that I really like.. I would much rather be doing something else. So it was nice to be able to just watch tv for a while... and get my little fix... though I will not be sad if I don't see another show for a few weeks.

I got to talk to my sister for a little yesterday and I really miss her. I wish she could come visit me sometime.. though I dont' see that happening. I am sure she will not want to spend any money to fly down here, though if she did... I would love to have her for a few weeks. I also had my best friend call to talk to me and that was something very fun to do yesterday. I miss her as well and she wishes she could come down here and watch movies with me and to hang out with me. We talked about when I get to see her in May and that was fun to do.

I saw one of my friends from college on Hi5 and that was kewl as I hadnt' seen or heard from here since college days a few years ago. She didnt' know I was married so I gave her my number and hope she calls me sometime to talk and catch up on things.. though I think we should wait at least a week before doing that.. as it still hurts a little to talk... and the more I talk the worse it gets.

Anyways.. I need to find out what everyone blogged about yesterday so I can do my "Fun Monday" a day late... *goes in search of what the topic was*
