I got my wisdom teeth out today. It was kind of spur of the moment. My right upper tooth has been trying to break through the gums and has been causing serious pain. I've been taking my spare percocet I had in the house, and if you know me, you know I HATE taking pain killers. So, I went to the oral surgeon to get it checked out, yes, it was my wisdom tooth, and yes, I should schedule an appt. to get all three taken out (I didn't have a fourth). So, I go to schedule the appt, and he's only in the office every 2 weeks. So, either get them out today or Nov. 5th. So I called Brandon to see if he could work from home today, and being the perfect awesome hubby he is, he worked it out and I got my teeth pulled.
I have to say, it was pretty easy. About as painful as getting a cavity filled. Brandon tried telling me I'd be knocked out for at least a few days, but I got really lucky. They only had to break up one tooth to get it out (the smell of burning tooth is gross), and the other two took the surgeon literally 60 seconds a piece. I was in there for an hour from start to finish. Just laughing gas and novacaine. I drove myself there and back. I'm in minimal pain tonight, and I feel really blessed that this didn't knock me out. It's Lexi's birthday in three days, and I didn't want to be in bed all weekend. Actually, I'm pretty peeved that I'm not allowed to exercise tomorrow.
Anyway, I've been pretty bored tonight cuz it's the 2nd night in a row without a hubbie (meetings), and so I took a picture of myself. I guess I felt I had to document the whole wisdom tooth thing. THEN I remembered that I suck at getting my picture taken. This was me still not knowing what face to make when the timer went off. HA!
And I got my hair cut. Just about 5 inches or so.
And how cute is this girl?! Lexi never has wet hair in the morning, so I never scrunch it. But we took a shower together and afterward I wanted to see just how much natural curl my little girl has.I have to say, it was pretty easy. About as painful as getting a cavity filled.

You're one tough cookie! I definitely milked it for a few days when I got my wisdom teeth pulled.
ReplyDeleteBut mostly I wanted to comment on those cute photos of Lex. SO ADORABLE. Love that natural curl.
Hey Cassie! You are really lucky considering...That was a very positive wisdom tooth experience, poor Bryce was a mess just like his mom...would have rather given birth! :) I remember when Brandon got his teeth out...I was "watching" them for a weekend, I made him soft foods. :) Miss you all, you are so far away, I'm sure we will be out there a couple of times next year!
ReplyDeleteHi Cassie, Lexi looks so cute with curls. You know she has some of your genes too! Wernli's all have stick straight hair! You look great for just having wisdom teeth out. I remember leaving Brandon so sick after he had his out. Thank goodness Leah was there to take care of him! Can't wait for Christmas!
