Bubble Child

I'm the middle child in my family & unfortunately I got most of the health hazards in the family, which aren't just run of the mill health issues either! Haha... When I was younger, we used to go back home to CT to visit family & friends. It was never a complete visit unless we made a trip to the walk in clinic. I legit just need a bubble & we'll just call it a day! ;)

This week has been full of doctor appointments. Allergist testing & follow ups for the first half of the week. This was followed by a consultation with an oral surgeon for a wisdom tooth that was impacted & growing into my cheek. Surgery was this morning. I was extremely nervous for many reason, but the 2 major reasons... 1. Needles! (I hate needles!) 2. The 'informational' video & forms I had to watch & sign which had me utterly convinced that this morning was my last day on earth!

Needless to say... The nurse starting my IV was FANTASTIC & was super sensitive to the fact that I was crying because I was scared. (Hi! Some things will never change!) My surgery was over before I knew it & my fiance & mom came for support & a few laughs while I was waking up. I mean... Look at my face! I didn't even remember falling asleep.

LOL! So silly! 

I am nervous to eat still & my Mac & cheese is waiting for me. But, the guaze is helping to keep everything under control & I am a little less than an hour out from my next pain pill. I am feeling it a tiny bit, but mom told me to keep ahead of the pain. So, I'm counting down the minutes. I told Freddy B I don't want to feel anything! Hope my body with keep good on that wish! :) 

 This was me shortly after I got home. I was ready to go back to sleep & that I surely did! :)

This is me currently about 7 hrs after surgery. Feeling OK, other than the fact that I am overwhelming warm & kinda hungry. I have my overhead fan going & a floor fan going in my room trying to keep cool. 

Hoping I keep improving! The paperwork says day 3 will have the most swelling & day 5 I have to use a syringe to clean it out. Might need my mom for that since my Freddy B is leaving for another work training that day! 

I received some fantastic mail today which brightened my day. I'll have to blog on that later because it's pretty exciting!!! 

Happy Friday my friends!!!
