Extracted Wisdom

So today I had all my wisdom removed...ok, so technically it was just my 4 wisdom TEETH. Talk about weird! The last thing I remember is I was talking to the doctor about the different type of weapons we will be using over there. Then I started feeling light headed, tried to keep talking but I couldn't think of the words to finish my sentence, and then I was told to lay down on a bed with a pillow and my mouth was filled with gauze. Talk about strange! I've never had to have any type of operation done on me to where I needed to be put 'under', but it sure was nice. One second your sitting in the dental chair, next SECOND your resting on a bed!

I do have to say though, I am sore... and I will probably only get more sore as the time goes on. I have to take 3 things of Ibuprofen, 3 times a day, for 3 days, and then take some Tylenol with Codeine when the pain gets really bad. I've already had to take the Tylenol once so far, but hopefully things will begin to taper off. I'm just thankful that I was able to get them done NOW and not down in Camp Shelby! The Army doesn't put you 'under', they simply load you up with Novocaine, wipe the blood off your forehead that might splatter on you while your awake, and then give you 3 days before your up and training again! NO THANK YOU!

Anyways, in about one week I have another dental exam where they will fill 3 - 4 more cavities. All of this work, by the way, is paid for by the Army; thank you taxpayers! (and, of course, my own tax money)
