Over the 2nd Day Hump

WOW!
So much has changed since yesterday, in fact it has changed for the worse!
I was doing so well yesterday (with my wisdom teeth removal) but today hurts 10x more, its unbelievable! Two sets of the stitches fell out on their own which some what worries me but I'm just letting it be.. the pain around the gum area where I move to smile/talk hurts the most. To make things worse I have heard that the third day is the worst as far as pain goes so I'm not looking forward to tomorrow!

Today was the birthday of this boy I babysit for and I helped out with his pool party! Its so cute how obsessed they are with holding their breath underwater, some how I became the person to count for them while they held their breath. The record holder was Matt with 1 min and 7 seconds! For being out in the sun from 12:30-3:10 I am shocked at how tan my arms are, in fact I have a hair tie tan on my right wrist!

Im planning a trip into the city and the goal is to find a toy store with a piano that you play with your feet like in the Tom Hanks movie Big. Hopefully, if I have done my research correctly, there will be on at Fao Shwarz. Who knows, maybe I'll break out playing chop sticks too?!



All is well, until tomorrow!

Losing My Wisdom

Ok so maybe I have not lost my "Wisdom" but today I did have my Wisdom TEETH removed and for weeks and weeks before hand people told me about there experience:



1. My older brother swelled up in the face for a solid 4 days! He was a chipmunk!
2. A friend of a friend of a friend had swollen cheeks for 3 weeks... How? I dont know...
3. My friend didn't come to school for a week due to her swollen cheeks and pain.
4. My cousin could not eat real food for 3 weeks
5. My other friend was told she was getting hers out by surprise from her father and was driving the same day (in other words she was fine)
6. My soon to be roommate was in so much pain and could not eat for 3/ 4 days..

So basically I had no idea what to expect, everyone was telling me one thing and then another and the majority of the stories were bad stories, about how it was the most painful experience of their life.

One of my friends, a true and sweet friend, called me with in the first word of my removal and talked to me for about 15 min. I really was not too afraid but it was nice to hear from her. It was a moment in my life that I will not forget simply because it was a sincere act of kindness.

And so what were my results?
I felt extremely tired! And yet I was incrusted I could not sleep until 2 hours AFTER the surgery. The main was very minimal, I was really cold for some reason and I am proud to say I do NOT look like a chipmunk! My cheeks are not swollen at all, it is spectacular! The doctor had told me due to my fair skin I might enquire some bruising but so far so good and with my luck so far I do believe I wont have any.

I hope the rest of my recovery goes as smoothly as it has so far! Have a spectacular rest of your weeks! ITS SUMMER!
