Wisdom Teeth Miracle

I just have to say how blessed I feel right now. I had my wisdom teeth extracted on Friday and Sean was so sweet that he took the day off work to be with me so I wouldn't have to go in alone. He knew how freaked out I was. I just thought it was so thoughtful. He has been such an amazing nurse. He has my drug schedule all written out and we are following it to the letter and he made sure I had ice on my face 30 min on and 30 min off all day yesterday. It helped, my cheeks are hardly swollen. He's a keeper that's for sure. :)

I had it done at my dentist's office, Dr. Scott Neil, who was amazing. He did it with drugs instead of gen anesthesia and I have to say it worked out very well. I took a Valium the night before and then triazolam 8 hours before and then 1hour before and then Dr. Neil crushed one and put it under my tongue while Sean held my hand and they gave me nitrous oxide that smelled like vanilla. It really smelt very good :) They turned on Hitch but I just remember seeing 2 Will Smith's and 2 Kevin James' and decided it was too hard figuring out which pair was real so I closed my eyes and woke up when it was all over. I thought that was fantastic!
They took out 3 (the 2 on my right side and my upper left) and I think they filled a cavity but I'm not sure, they were supposed to anyways. I guess a root was twisted on my bottom right which caused it to take longer.

Anyways I feel so blessed because I'm doing great! I'm still pretty sore and eating applesauce and pudding, smoothies and all that but I'm recovering so quickly and I am just grateful for that.

Thanks too family and friends for being so caring and generous. I'm so lucky.
