Goodbye Wisdom Tooth.....
Well one surgury has come and gone. I had the right bottom wisdom tooth cut out yesterday. Let me recap the experience... 1st I had to go to the hospital at 8 o'clock in the morning for some blood work for a surgury I'm having done on Tuesday (I'll explain that later) so they drew blood and sent me on my marry way. I get to the oral surgen's office at 11 am, wait until about 11:40 (my doc had an emergency surgury he had to do so he got a little behind) and then they bring me back. The nurse lady gave me some happy gas while we were waiting on the doctor. I'm not sure what time he got back there but when he did i told him that I was having major surgury Tuesday and wanted to make sure that was going to be ok. He said I should be fine. I showed him where they drew blood earlier so when he put the IV in he tried to go right behind it, all I'm sayin is HOLLY FUCK it hurt like hell. I gripped the chair with my other hand (now that i think about it I might have left nail marks- but I'm not sure). They got the tube in my arm and then statred the drip. About a minute passed and then I was out and then I was awake again with no tooth. Not in a whole lot of pain yet. They called Sunni back there to sit with me while I recoveryed (thank you Sunni for taking care of me yesterday) then her and the nurse helped me to the car. After I got in the car, the pain started. I've never felt anything like that before. Even with the drugs I couldn't fall asleep when I got home and laid down. I just laid there feeling my tooth, thanking God it was just one. Had I had all 4 out I don't think I would have been able to handle it. It hurt even worse when the numbing effect started to wear off. When I woke up today my throat, ear and the gland on my neck under that tooth were killing me. I'm still in some pain but no where near as bad as yesterday. I got to rinse my mouth out with warm salt water and that's making it feel better too. My doctor called to check on me earlier, that was nice of him, making sure everything was ok for now.
Now I'm trying to do everything I'm suppost to so I can be as healed as I can be for Tuesday. Tuesday morning at 5:30 am I will be at Methodist Germantown checking in to have a 9 or 9 1/2cm ovarian cyst removed from my left ovary. It's been causing me to get sick and throw up. Here lately I haven't really been eating much because of it (well that and my nerves-I'm dealing with a lot of things right now and really stressed out). It was only 8 1/2cm but this past Tuesday I had a lot of pain and had to go to the doctor the next morning. They did an ultarsound and it had gotten a little bigger and there was blood in it. I'm not going to lie, I'm scared to death about this. They'll have to make at least a 10cm incesion to be able to remove it and I know I'm going to be in the hospital for at least 2 days, maybe 3 and it's going to take me 4 to 6 weeks to fully recover. They may have to take my ovary too. There's some other stuff going on too but I can't really say right now. When I can I'll update you on that too. My mouth is starting to hurt again so I'm going to try and get some sleep......

I'm so sorry girl. Just know that if you need anything, I'm here to help.
You know, after you are healed, you should get a tattoo over your scar. It should be a tattoo of you kicking some ovarian cyst ass!!! :)
LOVE YOU PUDDIN!!!
