Bye Bye Wisdom Teeth....

I think the title says it all! On Thursday of this week I had all four wisdom teeth removed. My office was closed on friday so I decided to take advantage of only having to take one day off work for my little surgery. Ethan took me in on Thursday morning and I'm not gonna lie....I was nervous. I have never been put to sleep and I have never had an IV. There were a lot of first time things that were to happen on this day. However, Ethan did a great job of calming my fears and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else with me. The removal of my wisdom teeth went smooth and I don't think I said anything too crazy after waking up :) I know that I cried and talked a lot but I'm not sure that I made much sense.

Ethan enjoyed capturing the morning!


Checking in!

Waiting for my Doctor to come in and give us the low down.

Sitting in the recovery room and yes, I am smiling in this picture. I may also be crying :) haha! Always emotional!

Ethan got me home and I spent all day on Thursday resting/icing/resting/icing....you get the picture! I haven't had hardly any brusing or swelling. The worst part has been the pain medicine they gave me. It was making my very sick so yesterday I decided to stop taking it. It was doing much more harm than good. I am still taking it easy and my jaw is still sore. I am eating soft foods and already counting down the days till I can eat normal foods again!

Ethan has done a fabulous job of taking care of me! I am so thankful that I have this out of the way now and that I will never have to get my wisdom teeth removed again :)
