It's a brand new day!

I'm Here!

Hey Everyone,

I'm here! I feel like suck a slacker since I have been MIA since last Thursday. Of course, as you all know- I had my wisdom teeth removed on Friday and I've been in a funk all weekend. I don't know what it is.

Anyway, it seems like I have some updating to do.

First, thank you Fantastagirl for giving me the 'Indie Virus'. It seems to have given me a few new readers.

I will be updating my Blogroll tomorrow at work with:

The Family Life- Heather is Beth's sister over at 'In My Shoes'. I am so excited to have Heather as a new reader. I must admit, I have visited her blog before but never commented. I will now comment- I promise!

Jaw's Was A Lady- I haven't read this blog yet, but I plan on checking it out tomorrow while I'm at work. (Of course while I'm taking a much needed break!) Thanks for the comment Jaws!

I believe thats all the new readers I have aquired. I always love to get comments from everyone! Keep them coming!

As for my weekend?

Well, Friday was terrible as you could imagine. My 'extraction' was scheduled for 7:45 and being the stickler for time that I am, we arrived at 7:30. Of course, I had to sign a gazillion papers. The finally took me back at 8 am. The put me on laughing gas and started hooking me up to heart monitors, etc. After they put the IV in with the actually anestesia, I don't remember a thing. I was in the car on the way home by 8:30. I have to admit that I was terrified Thursday night and didn't sleep well at all. I had really mentally prepared my self for the worst. It wasn't bad at all. When they woke me up I was so out of it that it took me a while to get all my thoughts in order. I had to get out of the chair I was laying in and get into a wheel chair, then they wheeled me to the car and helped me get in. They had stuffed my mouth with guaze to keep the bleeding sustained. We live an hour from the oral surgeon. We stopped at CVS on the way home for some pain meds. and my dad dropped me off at my apartment to Pam. Most of Friday morning is a blur. I do remember that I hadn't realized that it wouldn't hurt to swallow, but since my mouth was numb- I couldn't tell when I was drooling. Well, for some reason I looked down and blood came running out my mouth and all over my shirt. I was trying to change it and blood started running down my chest and I started crying. I was so aggrivated. Thank goodness for my best friend Pam. She came to the rescue. She grabbed a tissue and started wiping up the blood and helped me get clean clothes on. I just sat on the floor and cried for a while. It was awful to feel helpless. After the numbness started wearing off I was feeling much better. However, I didn't follow the directions on the pain medication and I didn't eat when I took them. It upset my stomach and I was in the bathroom puking up blood and peeing my pants. TMI I know. She was there for me agian. I have to say when you aren't feeling well and you really need someone to be there for you, there is nothing like good friends and your really find out who they are.

After my Dad got off work, he came and stayed with me. He spent the night on a blow up mattress on my livingroom floor Friday and Saturday night. He was great with me. My mom was so worried, but he really did a good job. I have to say Saturday was the best day. I felt fine other then the fact that I couldn't eat normal food. Sunday was a bit more painful, and today was even worse. They say its a normal part of the healing process. I should loose some weight since I've only been eating soup and mashed potatoes! It really wasn't that bad and I even got to spend some quality time with my Dad that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world!

I have more updating to do, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. It's already 11 and I'm going back to work tomorrow. Gotta get some sleep.

Night!
