chipmunk for dayyyssss

on monday, i had the wisdom ripped out of me. literally. my wisdom teeth were taken out at 9 AM. it was a tough ordeal...i was put down with laughing gas and then had some kind of IV running in me to keep me down. i had all four taken out. my bottom teeth were completely sideways and were beginning to turn more and almost get tied up in my nerves. NOT GOOD. then my top two teeth were just normal but compacted. it wasn't a pretty sight. and having such big teeth and a little mouth there wasn't much room for all those big teeth.


once i was in the little chair and had the laughing gas mask on i was feeling pretty good, that stuff alone can put me to sleep. my mom was standing in the doorway making sure nothing went wrong. i had nurses all around me and had my heart beat up on a machine. i felt like i was on grey's anatomy. then my cute little doctor came in. he said my name a million times, even though i had nothing to say. once he put the needle in i was looking very far away. but i felt something strange, and in and out of my haze of laughing gas that my IV wasn't working. so even though my arm was numbed up and such, i had that weird feeling of something moving in my skin. i turned and looked to see the needle was in fact being moved in my skin. (I'm sorry if this is TMI) but its MY blog. then my doctor kept flicking it and flicking the IV bag until finally it started to work. then i was out. I don't remember much after that. I remember waking up in a different room and looking around oddly. I slept for days on all my magic pills. One of my pills was supposed to make me "crazy" my family found this hilarous and couldn't wait to see how i would react. Instead of being crazy, i was extremely calm and well nice. they came to the conclusion that it had the opposite effect on me. it is now the fifth day and i am still swollen but not as much. my mom took me to the big girl doctor (because as she put it "you'll be so drugged up you won't remember anything") i didn't have anything done luckily and just had her push my stomach-that's another blog post. here are the horrendous pictures. no judgment please.

This my friends, is day 1. not too bad i just am cracked out to the max.i am trying to smile believe it or not.

Day 2. now the swelling has increased and the jokes begin.


day 3. the worst day of my life. the swelling is still the same it just kills. harry potter jokes began. those of you who have read harry potter i'm sure will understand the jokes. they ranged from polyjuice potion to the last book where hermoine messes up harry's face so they won't recognize him.

day 4. i don't have a picture because i slept the entire day and could hardly move. i was so tired. and when i was awake all i wanted was a pancake. but we didn't have any, and it was a blizzard outside.

 this is how far i can open my mouth. i tried really hard. and it was a difficult feat for me.

day 5. because i didn't put a photo up of day four here are two. i don't think the swelling has really gone down. i have a copper taste in my mouth from the stupid stiches, but my mom thinks it has. maybe on the right side. who knows. i look like a hot mess.


But i did discover that the two perks of having your wisdom teeth removed are 

1. you lose a lot of weight (because you don't eat anything)

2. you get a lot of sleep and special treatment.
