My Day With Having My Wisdom Teeth Taken Out

As most of you might already know, I got all four of my wisdom teeth cut out this morning.

I think I did really well. It was the first time that I had an IV, so that was a new experience. It only pinched a little, which I was prepared for. Since I have had experience giving horses shots, I had no big with the thought of being stuck myself. Now I can think about giving blood.

The whole ordeal was not as bad as I thought it would be. I thought that I would end up crying. But I didn't. I got to use an oxygen hose. Now I know how you feel Grandma. The little monitors, that they put on my chest and on my left rib cage, were kind of cold and sticky at first, but the feelings left and I got use to them. I also had a finger/heart monitor. It felt like I was in a hospital with my heart beat coming through as a beep, beep, beep. The poor nurse who was preparing me had a little bit of a hard time finding a vein for the IV. But she found a small one on the outside of my right elbow. Luckily I didn't have to have one in my hand. I have heard that they hurt like the dickens.

A few minutes after she left, the doc came in, gave me the pain meds, and I fell asleep like that. *snaps fingers* The next thing I knew, I was sitting in a different chair in a different room. The recovery room. After a few minutes there, Kara and I got helped into wheelchairs and were rolled out to the mini-van. We then made a stop at Wendy's and each of us girls got a chocolate frosty. Hahahahaha!!! I was a mess!!!!! I got it all over my shirt. A white one at that. I haven't seen it since I took it to my mom to have it cleaned.

This afternoon, I have had a small bowl of strawberry yogurt and I have a cup of water by my bed, my little bag of gross, a big roll of paper towels(I have been drooling like a maniac!!) and a wal-mart sack to put all of my gross thrash in. Other than that, having an ice pack on my face, and watching some Cosby show on the internet, I haven't been doing much.

Tomorrow Kara and I have a check up to see how the two of us are doing. But I think that we will be fine. I hope! *Fingers Crossed*

First Post of the New Year!!!

Well, here we are in a New Year. Which means to some a start to a new life.

Christmas went very well. I got the Pirates’ trilogy. A book of new knitting patterns, which I started in that day. I have finished one and am on my second one. But you have to realize that I go for days without even touching it. If I do, it can vary from working on it form 30 minutes to a few hours. All of us kids got a $14 music download gift card from Wal mart. Which I used to get the music from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Us four older girls all got a $50 gift card to Maurices. We went and used them Saturday.

This is how my New Year started.

It ended up that we got three weeks off of school. We started officially back up last week.

Orchestra and choir and lessons all started back up and in full swing last week. We were supposed to have started back up with orchestra and choir two weeks ago, but we had lot of snow fall that week, so we didn’t go.

But we did get our new Federation pieces last Friday. All but one in Beethoven and one in Brahms.

That, I guess, has to be all of the new news that I can think of at the moment.
