Wisdom

Wisdom lost: On Fri, Feb 1st, I had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted.
Wisdom gained: It takes 10 days for a delicate flower like me to recover. I am allergic to Amoxicillian (hence the itching you've seen me doing this last week). I should eat (ha!) a good meal before taking Vicaden. I should only take Percecept when dead asleep or when I wish to feel like I'm on the high seas during a storm. If I want or expect flowers, I should order them myself.
Many thanks: To Dr. Blazic, voted best oral surgeon by his peers last year. He was handsome, kind and very efficient. To Kelly, Elise, Catrine, Aimee, June and co. for helping with my two little boys. To Kristina for laughing with me when I woke up to the hives. To my hubby (who won't read this because it is too long, so pass it on to him) for feeding me, taking care of my meds, reporting me to the DR, and keeping the house tidy. On his short list of meals he can make, he gets 5 stars for both scrambled eggs and grilled cheese. I love you, Danny!

I wish I could say I know what you are going through, I never got any wisdom. Congrats to a great hubby and company to be there to help. Hope you're feeling better.

So where are the pictures? I had chipmunk cheeks after I lost my wisdom, but no hives... Hope you are feeling better!

I never had chipmunk cheeks. The surgeon put "something" in my IV because he expected it to be very bad. I am feeling better today. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better!

Scrambled eggs and grilled cheese.. that is sweet. I like your new blog background. How did you do that?

I've got two impacted wisdom teeth that need to come out. I'm putting it off as long as I can because I'm so scared! Hope you are doing better.

I'm so glad your back around. I had no clue you were losing the wisdom until I called when you were sick. Anyway, at least you found out what meds you aren't allergic to. :)
