I had my first surgical experience yesterday. Something that I have been putting off since I was a senior in high school. I am sure you know what I am talking about, but if you don't let me give you some hints... First off, I have 2 tea bags hanging from my mouth, also, I am on 300 mg of Codeine and 800 mg of Ibuprofen. Yep, you guessed it, my wonderful and much missed wisdom teeth have been pulled.
So far, it has been a great, euphoric process. I have made friends with many a flying pink elephants and I don't remember a thing. (If this isn't making any sense, I am blaming it on the meds.) It was at about 10:45 EST yesterday morning when the nurse came into the waiting room and called my name. I walked in the room with him and he sat me down on the very luxurious dentist chair. You know the ones with the clear plastic at the foot of the chair and the faded tan pleather? Oh yes.
Then he strapped this nose piece on me that had the faint smell of vanilla to it. He claimed it was just plain old oxygen, but to this second I disagree. About 5 minutes later, he started to ask me questions, and he was talking very slow. Little did I know that this oxygen had slowed down time, and I too, was talking slow. What a liar! He put me on nitrous! I didn't mind though, it was very relaxing. Kind of like being on the beach with a nice cold ice tea... Anyway, then came Dr. Booker. She was a wonderful lady. I asked her how she was (very slowly) and she replied in the same monotone slowed voice, "IIII'mmm, fffiiinnneee... thhhaaaannkk yyoouuu." I told her that I felt great, and that she looked great, and she laughed.
About 5 minutes after she walked in, she gave me my I.V. I closed my eyes, then opened them and I asked her again how she was, and she laughed again and said that we were done. What a great day. I don't even remember getting in the car, splling water all over myself, or getting home for that matter. But otherwise, I am in a great amount of pain! I do not recommend this process. At all!

Does this mean I'm not wise anymore?
