Yesterday, my friend Corey and I had gone to Ponderosa Christian Camp and so we did not get home til after midnight. I at around 3ish and then once we got there, i wasn't hungry and so i didn't eat, but by midnight, i was starving! Well, more like 11:30ish. Corey and I stopped at a gas station out of the Jemez Pueblo and he bought me food. He bought me a sandwhich, cheese stick, Trail mix, and a Take 5. I only had time to eat the sandwhich and cheese stick. We headed home and the next morning(today) I went to work. Funny thing is is I couldn't eat for atleast 8 hours, or well after midnight. It was so bad because at 4 something this morning i woke up dying of thirst and got a sip of water (as if i were taking medicine) and went to sleep. When i woke up at 6:45am, I got another sip of water. I was having dreams before the first and 2nd sips about drinking water and getting in trouble about it by the dentist. I went to work like usual and left @ 9. I came home and started writing my testimony in the Book of Mormon for Kaeran. We left later than i wanted to. I had to go pick up my prescription before going to the doctors. Kaeran paid for my prescription. But we made it a little later than i was supposed to. I got checked in and they took his name down and during the surgery they explained things to him for me on how to treat me and all. Luckily, I only had 2 and they were on top. I've heard from Becky's mom and Janalee, Becca and my doctor that the top doesn't hurt too bad. To which they don't.
The procedure went as so. Right before i got called, i'd given the book of Mormon i wanted to give to Kaeran to him and started explaining some of it to him. Then i got called. The nurse who took care of me asked his name and where he was from, which of course is Iraq. In the room she asked, "so i noticed you all reading the Book of Mormon, and i was like yes, and she asked if he was a member and i said no. She said she was, and i told her i was too and this is for my mission. She was excited. She is in the ward in that area. She asked about where my parents live and i said that they weren't members, and so she asked when i'd joined, which was a year and 5 months ago. And she was like, so you are going on a mission and you are already starting, (Lol, I can't keep the gospel to myself). So the doctor put the needle in me to put me to sleep and then they put an oxygen mask on me, and some clamps to monitor my heart rate. I started worrying again and so i prayed. That calmed me down some. I asked how long it would take. She said a few minutes, and Dr. Christiansen said i'd be feeling it in a few seconds. A few seconds later i did and was like "I'm feeling it" and then i was out. I woke up sometime later and they had to say my name 3 or 4 times to get me awake. I could hear but i couldn't quite regain consciousness. I finally came out of it and broke down in tears. It was a scary and weird feeling to be in a state where you could tell things were going on, but couldn't quite respond or move back to normal. Jessica, one of the assistants, moved me to a wheelchair and then to an office where she went to get Kaeran. She got him and he came back and just started trying to comfort me. He was rubbing my shoulders some and playing with my hair and just trying to comfort me. I asked loads of questions and some were repeated. She warned Kaeran that i would do that. I think i did was because i remember asking the questions but not what was said. We went down the elevator and she had him go get the car. He brought it back and they helped me get back in the car. He drove me home of course, which now, i see why that happend. I was way to out of it to focus. I cried most of the way back. Most of it too was cause i wanted my mommy and to be held. He held my hand the entire trip back, which was to mostly comfort me and stuff (and of course, since he likes me). Once we got back, he parked and walked me to the house ( he was my crutch). He knocked on the door, but i started to unlock it right as becky's dad came to answer. Kaeran walked me to the recliner and helped me to sit some. Then we were saying goodbye and we hugged and he gave me a kiss good bye on the cheek in front of Bec's dad. He left and then i changed the gauze in my mouth and dreamt about having gum in my mouth to which iwasn't supposed to and it wouldn't come out and it was freaky, and then i woke up an hour and a half later and got up, did some necessities, ate some, called the doctor, took out the guaze and realized the numbing was mostly gone and i could feel pain on the left side. I took some aleve, ate, took my Anemia medicine and laid back down and slept for about 4o minutes more. Woke up and just sat around some. Becky came home and like 30 minutes later, Andrea came over to visit and brought me Keva Juice. Luckily, i'm not that swollen. I drank the Keva Juice after talking to Andrea for awhile about everything going on took some Hydrocodone because the aleeve wasn't working. My mouth is sore, but not bad, just like a bruise by uncomfortable. That was about 3 hours ago and now i'm about to pass out again. I just hope i don't over sleep.
I forgot to say that this morning Kaeran called to make sure i was awake and he wanted to see if he could bring me breakfast, which i couldn't eat it because i wasn't supposed to eat anything. Also in the car, i asked him how long it took them to do me and he said about 15 minutes. The doctors and nurses said i was easy to do because i had 2 and they were top only. They were only partially bony impacted. Dr. Christiansen, said it was an easy procedure. Luckily, i had no damage caused by my other teeth to them. Becky's mom took care of me most of the afternoon to see if i was alright. She said that about right when i was falling asleep earlier, Ally(their dog) was looking at me with concern and seeing if i was ok. Right this second, she is asleep near my feet in the living room. Well, i'm off to sleep before i get in trouble tomorrow at work. I am going to warn Ms. Ethel (my boss) that i may fall asleep at some points or i may have to go home early. In the morning, i am going to take Aleve and if that doesn't help, then i'll take the Hydrocodone again. I'm gonna have to take food with me to work til atleast tueday so i can keep up with this diet. All i've eaten is Tomato soup and a tropical trip Keva Juice from Andrea. Also, i found out that Dr. Christiansen, knows Janalee and he family. She grew up with her dad. I found out that he also took out my great great aunts teeth about 6 of them, without charging and in her wheelchair cause she was 100 years old when he did it (She is now 101 years old and still alive). I am off to bed now and i need to go eat something before midnight so that i can take more medicine! Ugh!
And that was my experience for today!
