Okay, so I had to get up at 6:45 this morning for my surgery, which is a lot worse than it sounds considering I've adjusted to my Christmas break schedule of waking at 11 at the earliest. Anyway, I nearly forgot to take the Valium pill they gave me and did so just as I got in the car. I hadn't noticed any of its effects until I got out of the car and nearly lost my balance (several times) while walking to the door.
They led me back into this room, the same one I had had the last appointment in. They, I guess, were prepared for me to be woozy because they supported my arm when I walked, which is probably a good thing because I just didn't seem to be able to walk in a straight line very easily. So I sat down in their little chair, which was just like a regular dentist's chair. They put on a heart and blood pressure monitor, and then, best of all, the mask that gave me my laughing gas.
They continued working around me, but slowly, i found there was a grin on my face i just could not get rid of. The world just seemed like quite an amusing place, especially when they had to re-do my IV through my hand instead of my arm, though I can't remember why. Next thing I know I'm opening my eyes and it's all over. They walked me over to a room with a comfy chair, TV, and blanket and handed me a remote. As far as I remember i only sat there like two minutes before they're like, okay, you can leave now.
But I got to leave in a wheel chair, so that was fun. But I had to keep cotton in my mouth which was uncomfortable, but dang. I am feeling perfectly fine. I don't think I'm going to need the pain killers they prescribed. I also got nausea medication but I won't need that unless I accidently injest dairy, but even then I might be fine.
So, awesome :D.
