So sorry I haven't been as active as I'd have liked to be these past few weeks; honestly a lot has happened that I've been neglecting to update you all on.
Firstly, I'd like to gladly announce that
BOTH
SURGERIES
HAVE BEEN
APPROVED
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
I am very happy to say things are moving along quite smoothly; and there are a lot more reasons i get to celebrate other than our approval. I'm trying to focus on the good things even though i am apprehensive of the bad that is to come. That sounds really vague but the rain must come before the sunshine; it always gets ugly before it gets pretty.
Today I had my Wisdom teeth taken out; the first real step towards my big surgery, which is why it's such a big deal for me. It was a really surreal experience . It was officially my first surgery and that makes me really happy and excited. I sat in the waiting room of the office thinking that these four teeth were literally going to change my life.
A lot of it was a blur really. After they injected the sedative via IV the walls started to move and it was all really fuzzy from there. I do remember being blind folded. I dont know if that was a gift or something but it did make me feel a lot better about the whole thing i think, because instead of seeing the pliers or knife or needle going into my mouth, all I really imagine feeling is a really big spoon being shoved in my mouth which ain't really all that bad if you ask me. It didnt really hurt , but I did hear some audible cracks and I ended up crying for some reason???? I don't know I hope my surgeon doesn't perceive me as a wuss for hyperventilation just from getting 4 teeth out. after regulating my breathing and out-of-control teenage emotions, I called my parents and they wheeled me to the car.
Safe at home and hungry, i tried eating melted ice cream which didn't really bode well for me as most of it ended up on the counter and my really comfy sweat pants. I was so swollen numb that I needed to use a mirror just to see where to put the spoon; it was a complete struggle and I'm sure it'll be worse when the big surgery comes. Not that it matters 'cause I'll be ready and I'll be fine with any obstacles because I know it will all be worth it.
Now that the Codeine is kicking in, I think I'll indulge in a nice nap.
But first here's some pictures
Self explanatory selfie
Right before surgery; The oxygen tickled
Right after; the whole process was about 30 minutes, 25 of which was basically used to set me up
I got home and tried eating, which didn't really work out so i put on a bib.
Update: Day 2; hurt but swelling went down and Codeine makes me dizzy
