RE: Messages from within the veil - I survived

in #blog2 years ago (edited)

I remember when I got my wisdom teeth out. Both sides were impacted, so I needed them both cut out. They wouldn't do it all at once, so that two sepreate surgeries. Oddly I only remember one of them. Maybe there is a reason I blocked out the other... 🤔 They didn't knock me out for mine, just gave Novocain. Lots and lots of it. I remember he gave me a lot and everything was numb. Then he started cutting and asked me if I felt anything. I didn't, but he must have mistook my grunt for pain and I felt the needle poke me several more times as he injected more. From there the room was spinning. I could feel the pressure as he cut and scraped and pulled, but beyond that I was in happy land. I remember my dad picked me up and drove me to their house. Evidently I laid on their couch for the rest of the day and most of the next, but I have no memory of that.

Good times. I hope your recovery goes well!

Time went so quickly immediately after waking up after the surgery, but now due to the pain (albeit muffled and muddled by painkillers) - is making me exhausted, bit simultaneously anxious about my first night's sleep and where that is going to come from.
