Bits of Wisdom
So yesterday was the fateful day that I got my wisdom teeth (plus two molars...for braces purposes : ) removed. Heres what I learned.
1. Owls are probably some of the ugliest creatures on earth. What does this have to do with oral surgery? Not a whole heck of a lot, but there was this magazine in the waiting room with a picture of an owl on it, and they are really scary looking. The just stare at you...with those big yellow eyes....
2. Anaesthetics are wikid awesome. At first I was really quite frightened of going under, but I was pleasantly amazed at how effective it was. I was certain that I would wake up in the middle of surgery (and although it would get me a nice little sum of money, it wouldnt be very enjoyable) but fortunately enough, nothing of the sort happened. It was actually probably the best sleep I had in a long long time. I would strongly consider becoming an anaesthesiologist, if it werent for the constant threat of getting the scrubs sued off me. I beleive they have to endure the most malpractice lawsuits out of any medical profession.
3. Nothing except for two dangerously high-dose shots of gravol will make me even the littlest bit drowsy. So i was expecting to be pretty out of it yesterday after the anaesthesia, but i found myself to be instantly refreshed after waking up. Not even a little bit tired. Furthermore, one would think after about 6 tablets of tylenol 3 and about the same number of advils, one might get the teensiest bit sleepy. Not me though. It was like i was wonder woman (or to clarify for some..wonder 'women') and the drowsiness bullets were ricocheting off my cuffs left and right. Pathetic analogy I know, but i just watched an episode of justicle league so sue me.
4. With a puffy face, I look like a 7 year old. If my face were more chipmunk-esque like i was anticipating, it might have been better because everyone would know that my appearance was due to wisdom teeth. But since I didnt get too much swelling, my face is just slightly rotund, like an innocent little preschooler. How lovely. Like i dont have enough problems looking my age. Reminds me of the time I went to go see X-men in theaters. I wasnt dressed in any particular adolescent way. Just wearing my glasses like always, a pair of jeans like always, but the ticket guy had to ask to make sure if I was over 12...I was 16 at the time.
So now Im going to spend this wonderful new years eve sitting in my basement with my puffy face watching Dodgeball. Good times. Hope everyone has a rockin new years eve. Chipmunk out.
