blahh kay so surgery went great. I had a couple of panic attacks before they stuck me with the IV, but ironically I didn't feel a thing. It's not the pain so much that makes me freak, more the idea of a needle entering skin and not coming out the other side of it. It just makes me panic. But literally about 6 seconds after the IV was in, I was out like a light. The last thing I said was "I don't wanna look at it" and then the next thing I know I was waking up with a mouth full of gauze. So in addition to my braces now, my mouth is filled with stitches, which, of course, prohibits any eating for a while. I had a little bit of soup and then a little bit of a smoothie yesterday ALL day because I wasn't allowed to eat before surgery and I was asleep all day due to the drugs I had to take to kill the pain. I almost passed out when I got up to wash my mouth with salt water (my mouth was FULL of blood and I had fallen asleep in my parents bed and ended up getting blood all over the pillow O_O;;), my dad had to catch me and help me back to the bed so I could sleep more. Today was a lot better, the stitches are bugging me and it's really gross to see this little golden chain embedded in the roof of my mouth, but the stitches should dissolve within a week... yuck. I'm glad I don't have a boyfriend now, because these things are hideous o___O'' yeeeah good news though, this is the end of my dental work, aside from tightening my braces every month :) and some of my teeth are already straight after just a day ^o^ it makes me very very happy. aacck.... my parents are outside fighting again about money. Wonderful, isn't it? ): I hate being tight on money, and I'm beginning to think it's just a bad thing all together. Money ruins families. Money ruins lives. Money ruins relationships. It just ruins everything. *sigh* I wish there was something I could do to help them with it but I can't until I get a job D: damn. well, I hope you're all doing well. I'm going to go attempt to eat something (I can barely eat anything right now b/c of all the stuff in my mouth) xXTOCXx
