Is it weird to say that I'm really really happy?
No, I guess not considering how much percoset I've taken.
But seriously, this has been so easy. I was so scared this morning. I had to take a moment in the waiting room and do my zen deep breathing exercises that Bryan Hooten taught us at Gov school. I was ready for the worst when they got me in the chair. I had chosen to be sedated during the procedure, and lemme tell you, it was the best decision I could have made. I got a quick and painless shot (I don't think there was any IV, but I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't tell. Either way, it was in my upper arm and it didn't bother me at all ). The doctor told me to tell him when I got sleepy. I thought to myself, "I'm perfectly awake, how fast will I get sleepy?" Then, "I think I'm a little sleepy". Then I was gone.
I don't know how quickly it came me to come to. I was moved into a room to lie down, where I talked to my ez3mom (though I have no idea what I told her, or how, since the lower half of my face was numb from Novocaine). Aside from that and having an unpleasant amount of gauze in my mouth, I felt fine. My dad carried me to the car, I somehow conveyed that I needed a hot fudge milkshake from Nathans, and before I know I was wrapped up in a blanket on the couch, where I am now.
It sucked trying to eat the milkshake though, because you can't use straws, and my mouth was so numb that I mostly spooned it onto my shirt.
I'll write more soon. I'm feeling shakey from the pain medicine and need to go back to sleep.
Later:
So much sleeping.
Anyway. It's all been okay, except for times like right now, where the percoset is wearing off and I can't take more for an hour. Then, I'll take it and realize I hate taking it even more becase it makes me shaky and I start to sweat, before falling asleep almost immediately. But when I wake up, I'm totally blissed out. It's awesome.
I haven't gotten swollen at all. So good.
