Look Ma, no teeth!

Well, this past Friday was pretty uneventful.

Woke up.

Went to the Ninja's office where he pulled out  4 premolars.

Went home.

No biggie :)


It really was an easy day. The worst part was the waiting! I got called in to the Ninja's office a little after 8:45am (appointment time). The nurse hooked me up to everything but the anesthesia and then I waited almost 30 MINUTES before the Ninja came in! He said his usual, "Good to see you, now open." Then he said "I'm going to put in your IV  - this will take about 15 minutes." "15 minutes to put the IV in??" I asked. "No, for the procedure." Duh. Next thing he said was he was going to start the IV and to tell him when I started to feel different. I said, "The last time I had IV anesthesia I...." and the next thing I knew I was in the recovery room! I remember trying to talk but not being able to do so very easily - must have been those 50 pieces of gauze in my mouth! Luckily Ann, my ride that morning had a notebook so I was able to write a few things (Lord knows what I put!). I do remember when the Ninja came in I wrote "You rock" - because he does. After a while I felt good enough to leave so Ann took me home. I did ask her to take a picture of me in the recovery room - not sure if I asked her to send it to anyone but I DO know that I posted to Facebook. OMG. Oh well :)

The anesthesia really didn't last too long in my system. I literally took a few short naps during the day, but for the most part I watched the US Open tennis tournament and did some knitting. My goddaughter took frosty to me in the evening so that was helpful :) I took Saturday off from work and was back at it on Sunday!

So now I have A LOT of room in my mouth If my feet don't fit, by golly I don't know what I'm gonna do!!
