I had wisdom teeth surgery yesterday! Pretty minor because all my wisdom teeth were out anyway (or at least partially). I actually have a lot of energy and a good appetite too. My mouth is just sore a bit and I can’t open it very wide or chew very well. The day of the surgery I even was doing well except for the very beginning. I didn’t react very well to the anesthesia apparently (my mom has the same problem), so I vomited twice when I got home, but after the anesthesia wore off I was fine. Samm was the one taking care of me for the day. I was pretty mortified when I was throwing up in front of him, but through sickness and in health right (okay I know we’re not married yet, but we’ve been together 4 1/2 years we basically are)! He was great! Oh and I didn’t need the pain killers at all. It was interesting because I have never been put under general anesthesia before and I was terrified. Everyone said it wasn’t that bad, but I just pictured this horrific experience where I would be fighting the urge to go to sleep and not be able to. But it wasn’t like that at all. So for any of you who are nervous it’s not bad–take this from a girl who was basically in tears beforehand. It was super fast, and I didn’t want to fight it. It felt pretty natural. So not nearly as bad an experience as I had feared all around. I know some people have a harder time with their wisdom teeth, but I was lucky!

Orientation is on Tuesday–THREE DAYS! It’s so soon finally! I can’t wait! A lot of other people who I’ve been talking to on allnurses have been going to their orientations and it sounds very exciting! Especially when we’re all so anxious to finally getting to do what we want to do! NURSING!

~love always~
