Pain, puke and more pain

This morning I went to the oral surgeon to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. While sitting in the chair the dentist asked the usually questions - Are you allergic to any medicine? Who is driving you home? Have you ever had blood drawn or an IV?

After the question and answer session, he pulled up my right sleeve on my shirt to insert the IV. It took him a while to find a vein. When he did find one, I heard him say to the nurse that my vein wasn't taking the medicine. I asked if he found a vein and he said that sometimes those veins don't take the medicine. Since my right vein wasn't taking the medicine, he had to pull my left sleeve up on my shirt to stick the needle in for my IV. After he got the needle in he said that patients accused him of moving the lights on them. I said that I heard that from people. And that was the last thing that I remember.

Probably a half hour later, the nurse, or whatever you call them, told me to stand up and walk with her to another room. I laid down on a nice bed and then Mike came into the room. While the lady talked to him, I was drifting in and out of sleep. I think I heard the lady tell Mike to keep me up. After she told him everything that he needed to know. It was time to leave and get my pain medication.

I barely remember the drive to Meijer drive-thru pharmacy. The pharmacist said my prescription would be done in 25 minutes. Mike drove me home and helped me on the couch. He asked what I wanted for lunch. I just said fries. Mike left to get my prescription and came back with lunch and a bouquet of flowers for me. How sweet! Mike gave me my medicine and my fries. It took me probably 20 minutes to eat fries. I think that was the slowest time for me ever to eat fries.

After lunch both of us laid on our couches and fell asleep. Around 5 pm, Mike changed his clothes to his sexy suit for his city commission meeting. I was laying on the bed talking to him while he changed. I didn't feel good. We both walked back downstairs and I headed right to the bathroom and threw up twice. There went lunch. Mike kept telling me that was a side effect of the medication. About an hour or two after he left, I was hungry again. Mike bought me a McFlurry for lunch and put it in the freezer. I went to the freezer and ate it. About a half hour after eating it, I was running back to the bathroom. Up it came. Not just once, but a couple of more times. I was so disappointed. That flurry was good.

After throwing up more, I started feeling severe pain. I took another pain pill with water. That didn't stay down long either. A while later, I was back running to the bathroom to throw up.

So here I sit. I threw up everything I had today. My jaw is in pain. I'm still spitting up blood. One thing I remember the lady telling Mike that I couldn't brush my teeth until tomorrow, talk about nasty! There is nothing like the taste of puke in your mouth. YUM!
