saying bye to wisdom

today i got my wisdom teeth pulled, and it was much more interesting than i thought it would be

i dont know if you've ever been put to sleep before, but i've done it twice. and both times i was very much looking foreward to it because you're in this very intense, uncomfortable environment and you know that as soon as they put the stuff in your IV you fall asleep immediately. its a very interesting experience. i would say that its really cool except that right when they put the stuff in you get really dizzy and it doesnt feel very good.

anyway when they woke me up, i was crying alot for some reason. they said what usually happens is people either can't stop crying or can't stop laughing. i was just so confused, and i couldnt figure out why i was crying. and my mom was worried to. well i didnt see her face but when i heard her come in i could tell she would be. i couldnt hardly say anything but i was trying to tell her it was fine and i must have sounded very stupid cause i had all this gauze in my mouth and my face was all wet and funny looking. it was weird too because i felt really sad, but i knew it was the sleepy stuff so i didnt really worry.

after like five minutes of the guy explaining stuff to my mom, i dont remember what cause i was just trying to go to sleep, the guy held his fingers up and asked me how many there were. i remember thinking it was really funny because in movies they always do that and i would always try to imagine how they possibly couldnt really know how many there were, even if you were seeing double, but i had no idea how many there were. i tried really hard haha, and then i said four or five.

then they put me in a wheelchair and we went outside this back way, i remember really hoping no one could see me cause i felt completely ridiculous. and the man who was pushing me kept asking weird questions, maybe cause i was still crying, like "is your boyfriend taking care of you?" and "did you have a bad dream?" he asked me about my boyfriend several times. i have no idea why. i just remember i was so confused.

one thing that is great about all this is i dont have to go to school and i get to sleep as much as i want because that's just about all i can do. and even though i can't eat anything i'm really not hungry for some reason.

its not so bad basically. the only thing that bothers me is i wonder if many years down the road they'll describe in texts books and documentaries how uneducated we were about all this stuff, and how no one ever really needed to take their wisdom teeth out to begin with. i think i know who to thank for that thought. and i think she knows too.
