the extraction experience

So on Friday I had not four , but five wisdom teeth extracted. Not to sure why, but at 33 a little nervous for some reason. I took the first of my halcion pills and the other one as well. This was at ~7:30 AM. By the tme I was in the chair at about 8:15 I was still pretty darn coherent. I was starting to feel the effects of the sedation but the dentist was like, where is that last half of the Halcion. I weigh all of 175 lbs, and it wasn't really hitting me too hard. After a few more minutes and the mask of nitrous we were under way. I was in and out. Things I remember hearing are as follows:
"See this is a simple complication and skin impaction"
"Can you really believe he is snoring"
"That is two down with three left to go"

I rememeber my wife showing up to get me. From then on, ~ 9:45 - 10:00 AM I don't rememebr a thing. I woke up at 6 PM thinking it was noon. I heard our friend Brock out in the kitchen as he was to come over and help with our garden. Brock is a good friend that just got fairly dirted on by his ex. Some people I guess just don't see how good they have things and just want to either screw it up or are just rather clueless.

While in my haze I have been able to get some of the best rest that I have ever had in a while. At the same time, I have cut part of our lawn, walked the dogs, hung out with Dennis and taken him through a few stores before almost crashing. My sleep schedule is all sorts of off as the Lortab is just making me wired, but it is keeping the pain totally at bay. I just hope I don't have any complications prior to tuesday.

Apparently the dentist was given me a tn of instructions but I don't remember a lick of them or that the conversation even occurred.

Well I need to be getting to bed but I am rather wired and just wish I could crash. Although I was rather nervous this hasn't been as bad as I was led to believe it could be. I will probably be stiff and sore tomorrow, but o well. Life goes on. C'est la vie.
