  Writing - Wisdom Tooth Surgery
   
 

I don't feel faint when I stand up now, so I'm writing this. I also can't really eat or drink anything until my mouth stops bleeding. It's been 24 hours since I've last had something to eat.

My friend Randy came by and helped me take care of a few errands. I think waiting in the office, relaying things between my mom and the securitaries, and filling out forms took more time than the surgery.

The first thing they did was take an x-ray of my whole head and explained what would happen. I was hooked up with a noxtrous oxide oxygen mask until I felt woosy. I'm not sure why, but I kept wanting to look at the yerf.com recent uploads. Nothing mattered to me at that moment, except wanting to sleep A.S.A.P. The doctor had a time finding my vein because I couldn't make a fist. He had to bend my arm back to find one.

When it was over, I was asked to stand up with some assistance. I remember that and them explaining something to Randy and walking to Randy's car, because petals fell on it from a nearby tree. I don't remember getting into the car, going into my house, or laying down. The last thing I remember was Randy looking for a plastic bag to put ice in. Then I fell asleep.

My mom got home later and helped me replace my gauze. She said at 7PM. she was going to pick up my codine pain medication. I slept on and off for a while. Around 11PM I decided to finally go use the bathroom but was very faint. After some time, the dizziness wore off.

Something I requested the doctor to do before the proceedure was to let me keep the tooth. I have it in a small pink envelope near my gause envelope. I showed my dad, who thought it looked very small.
