Real Food

Aaaahh......its been 5 days since my wisdom teeth have been pulled out, my painkillers are practically gone, the stitches are starting to fall out and everything is starting to heal....its good to be able to eat again. Not that I objected to only eating icecream, pudding (I have discovered that my favorite is banana!) and jello but after several days these special treats aren't so special and you start craving something with more substance.

Which makes me think about reading. I love reading, historical fiction and non-freaking mysteries are my favorites...and the typical girlie girl comes out and adds fairy tales to that list as well. Yet while fiction is great to read sometimes I find that I get tired of it and I crave something with more substance. I am starting to read a daily devotional book that I received at my graduation ceremony last year. I haven't gotten into the habit of reading it daily yet but I am working on it. Just like everyday we need to eat something that will benefit us and our bodies so we should be reading something that will benefit our minds and our souls too.

And in saying that I think I will go do my devotions before I read another chapter in the mystery book I am currently reading......

So what have you been reading lately?

I Lost My Wisdom....

...teeth. Well actually I didn't loose them I had them pulled out. It was actually very nice. I must admit I was not a fan of the fact that my wisdom teeth were coming out but because they were starting to get infected where they had not yet surfaced (part of all four had pierced through my gums) and some were actually starting to wear away at my jaw bone.

I used to joke with my friends who would tell me that I would most likely be awake while they pulled my wisdom teeth that I would put up a bit enough fight that they would HAVE to knock me out to pull them out but thankfully I didn't have to go through with it because I was knocked out for the event.

Heading into the office I was asked to lay down. I was given an IV, and due to my experience (ahem, one time) in giving blood the IV was no biggie for me......and then I had a clip on my finger to measure my heart rate and given an oxygen tube.

After sitting in the chair for a while the doctor came in and with a "Goodnight Irene" put a needle (or two) into my IV. I waited a couple minutes and nothing seemed to happen and then next thing I know I was opening the door of my dad's car back at home....Whoa! I totally forgot getting out of the chair...leaving the building, by a different way too so I wouldn't fall down 3 floors worth of stairs or my dad driving me home!

But besides that I am happy to say that now, over 12hrs later I still feel no pain (yay for pain meds!), the freezing is gone and I am looking forward to eating more icecream and pudding tomorrow :D

So do you remember what your wisdom teeth experience was like? If you were put out for it do you remember waking up or anything after it?
