woe is me

Transfer from my journal.

So of course, knowing my luck with things involving my teeth and jaw, my wisdom tooth surgery was re-scheduled. (Due to complications of course. /sarcasm)

I had last Friday off from school, and my mom took me to the jaw doctor at 8:30 am. When we got there, they took me into the surgery room, and even started looking for veins in my arms. The doctor couldn't find a vein in either arm, so he put a hot pack on my left arm to make it easier to see them. At the same time, I had an oxygen mask on my nose, and the doctor started talking to me about how the procedure was going to go down. I don't remember everything he said, but I know I started freaking out when he said I wouldn't be completely asleep. NEWS TO ME! He described it as a "Twilight Sleep", but the only thing I think of when I hear that is Wolf Link.

Again, me freaking out, and my mom and Doctor getting concerned for my safety, we decided it would be better for everyone if I was completely conked out during the procedure. My surgery was re-scheduled for Wednesday February 3rd 2010. Instead of going to the jaw doctor, I'm going to a surgical center. I hope I do better than I did last Friday. It sure wasn't pretty. Did I mention that all 4 of my wisdom teeth are impacted AND I have an extra tooth? That, plus I have Temporomandibular Joint Disorder / Arthritis in my jaw. I just need a new mouth completely. That would solve all my problems.
