Well, it's official.... I no longer have any wisdom (teeth) left. Wednesday I went under the knife and had the final two removed. They were under the gums so I opted to sleep through the process. All I remember from the surgery is the Dr. talking non stop before (to see if I was awake). During I hazily recall him saying, "Aww, isn't she cute, she snores like my 8 year old daughter". Then, as if I were hypnotized, he said "Okay, you can wake up now", and I DID!!! How weird is that.
I was soooo hungry & thirsty due to the fact that I couldn't eat or drink for 8 hours before the surgery. I really, really, really wanted to eat some eggs as soon as I got home (nice & soft, easy to eat). So as we walked through the door my Mommy made me a couple of eggs (Jeremy was at work already), I tried so hard to eat them......... However, when you have absolutely no feeling in your tongue, lips, mouth area, it is very difficult to know if you are chewing anything. After a few minutes of trying I gave up & went to bed, passed out, and woke up about 2 1/2 hours later. Just in time to say good night to the boys. Thank God my mom stayed for a "sleepover". I tried eating my eggs again around 9:30 pm, still no feeling in the mouth area. I was a little freaked out how long the freezing was lasting. Went to bed again & slept until Jeremy got home after 2:00am. By then the freezing was all gone & I had the most glorious eggs in the whole entire world!!!! I almost heard the angels singing.
The next day I was relieved that I only had swelling, looked like Cojo with the big jowels going on. And now, I'm sad to report that there is some bruising going on. I feel like wearing a big scarf around my face instead of looking like a fight victim. Thank goodness for Ice Packs, painkillers & family, otherwise I don't think this would have gone as well as it has.
Can't wait to see what next week brings!!!!

OH lucky lucky you, and people wonder why dentists are hated so much lol, I think of every excuse in the book to cancel when I have an appointment and have followed through a few times, how many times a day do you stick your tongue in the holes haha, glad the eggs were heaven, have you graduated to asiago dip yet? talking that, the cook at work said to buy pilsbury cresent rolls, put a spoonful of the dip in the middle of each, close them up and eat warm, DEADLY were her words, were going to have to try next time were together :)
Hope the rest of the recovery goes well, give my boys a hug for me, xoxo
OMG that sounds so yummy. Excuse me as I wipe away the drool from just thinking of it.....
Ok - that sounds soooooo delicious! Who makes the asiago dip? (other than the rotten ba@#*&ds that my hubby used to work for)
Glad the surgery went well Cheryl. I giggled when I read your description of eating eggs! You know you are hungry when scrambled eggs cause a religious experience!
