I'm alive

I got all 4 wisdom teeth pulled Friday and I'm still alive. I didn't get put under becasue they said my teeth would be easy to remove--turns out they were wrong. The roots on my top teeth had curved roots and I felt them come out. The bottom teeth, which I assumed would be worse, were super easy. They told me I was done and I kept telling them they forgot the bottom teeth. Anyway, they had to bring in an extra nurse to help out with the complications and she held my hand when she wasn't busy--I cried through the whole thing. But I lived.

The past few days have been spent lying around and seeing what I can and can't do and eat. I haven't had much pain since the first day and I stopped bleeding yesterday. After my first "solid" meal of chicken noodle soup yesterday, I puked and had to start all over with the feeding regiment. But today is better--trying to decide if I'm in good enough shape to head to work tomorrow. And yes, I'm puffy--I'll throw one of those sexy pictures up later.

That's all from me for now--I need to keep icing. Rick has been really great taking care of me (I don't think it's possilbe to do this on your own) and Kristin and Josh will be in Canada for the next week so I have the whole place to myself. I will write more soon--Happy Easter, everyone (I had mashed potatoes to celebrate)!
