Yanked all 4 of my wisdom teeth today, about 15 years after the first one chipped while eating a simple soft taco. They'd been weak for a long time, chipping away... and every dentist I'd seen said they're going to have to go. I've just been putting it off for the right time.
Mostly I will miss those teeth: they've been handy for chewing.
I figure the best time to implement is after the cruise where food is available 24 hours a day and I may have gained a few pounds. Don't feel like I did but now I may never know because the liquid diet has begun.
Actually it started with brownie flavored pudding. Yummmm.
I am actually feeling pretty good after the surgery. No pain yet and just a little groggy from the drugs. Hell I am coherent enough to go back to work except I don't think my co-workers would appreciate the uncontrollable bloody slobber. Some people are just sensitive ;)
In fact I've scheduled sick leave through Friday and I just might use it all no matter how I am feeling! There are lots of things to get done...
You'd think I'd sleep all day after the surgery. But no, instead there are too many cool things for me to do, like planning Anna's third birthday party, March 6. We never thought we'd have a formal birthday till Anna was older but apparently she understands those parties of her friends as they turn 3 and she is excited by them. Now who can deny her of a fun little time of her own? March 6 we'll have snacks, cake, and the Tumblebus at our house. The Tumblebus is this cool bus that's been tricked out with nothing but ball pits, monkey bars, and even little zip lines. It's like the Little Gym in a box. It comes to Anna's (and others') schools once a week so the kids can play. ANNA LOVES THE TUMBLEBUS (mommy, I can do a tuck and roll all by myself!). And it's pretty reasonable cost-wise to get them to do birthday parties. It can hold up to 15 kids so we're throwing out the net of invitations to our close friends with kids who Anna likes, and the kids in Anna's class. All of them. Even the ones that she and I both think are weird. Hopefully a small turnout of about 10 kids can make it. Anyway, you should see the cake I'm going for but OH NO YOU WILL HAVE TO BE SURPRISED AND WAIT FOR IT!
And hell no, I'm not making it myself.
She also doesn't know the Tumblebus is coming. In fact we're not hyping about the party at all. It'll all mostly be a surprise for her so shhhhh...
That night we're going camping too. And Ommom is going out of town so we're taking O & M for the weekend, including camping, so it should be a really fun weekend for Anna!
I am proud of myself for getting the jump on this, huh? I usually wait till the last minute for these things. Thanks to the wisdome teeth, I am TOTALLY ON THIS. HA!!!
Now let's just hope some kids actually show up :)
