My daddy is REALLY good at cheering me up.

Me: *at airport, got patted down* ;_; But I'm WHITE! And everybody should know better than to think that matters but I think I did and I am BAD.

Dad: Aww. Yeah, if they asked you if you had a bomb, you'd be like... "Oh yes, right here, want to see it? I got it in New York."

Me: ;v; Heehee. New York was fun.


Me: I'm scared to get my wisdom teeth out! >x< I'm afraid they'll make me do it with local anaesthesia (and there'll be blood and I'll have to swallow it) and it'll be scary!

Dad: *hugs* Well, they gave me general anaesthesia when I had mine out, and it was easy.

Me: Yeah? It didn't hurt for days and days after? And you didn't have to eat weird food, or nothing?

Dad: *still hugging* I had milkshakes, and they gave me medication, so it didn't hurt MUCH. I was older than you, like 24? It was okay, I didn't really care, I'd look in the mirror and I'd have, you know, chipmunk cheeks *indicates by holding his hands to his face* and think, hmm, is it time for another milkshake? *makes a funny Daddy Thinking face*

Me: ;_; Really? I think I need another hug.

Dad: *needs to get to work* Okay :D *hugs*

I go for an assessment of my wisdom teeth today, but I'm being a big baby about it all of a sudden. I'm sort of grumbly about the food. I hear rice is out, so means I CAN'T have the nice rice soup I was looking forward to, and milkshakes, pudding, smoothies and yogurt go in order from "eh" to "don't let it touch me." I wonder if I could have chicken broth with milk in it, or that potato soup I like...

Or ice cream...

*summons up memories of wisdom teeth coming out*

usually they consider wisdom teeth extraction to be surgery (I got all four taken out at the same time), so they gave me general... i was out before i counted to ten. completely unconscious so yay! you can always tell them that is what you prefer.

after, they give you prescriptions for pain -- GET THEM FILLED BEFORE THE NEXT DAY. i didn't and woke up the next morning in excruciating pain. remember, it's surgery, so if yours are like mine were, you're going to have stitches and such. but remember, you're gonna be knocked out, so you'll still be groggy after it happens and feeling no pain. but the next day... just get the pain meds.

milkshakes, slimfast shakes, pudding, ICE CREAM for the first few days, then soft foods until healed. so yeah, chicken broth w/milk is cool or potato soup, if it's pureed is cool. and definitely ice cream. although i wouldn't get anything too hot to eat. no good, that.

*hugs* it'll be okay. it's totally worth it, because if you don't get them out, the pain will just get worse.

Yeah, I'll have general anaesthesia, stitches, the whole deal...it is comforting to hear that I'll be out fast. I'm actually curious about that. And I'm wondering what it'll be like when I wake up, though. Is it disorienting? Do you have any freaky dreams while you're asleep during the operation? Because I can't wake up during the operation and if I have a bad dream I'll be sad... ;_;

I have a grownup to make flan and do all the work for me, and we already have some super pain meds in the house squirreled away from other illnesses, so I'm very safe. I was thinking warm tea or homemade hot cocoa (milk=nourishment), and maybe cheesecake, and canned soup...well, as long as I stay away from bagels and mochi for a while...

This is what I remember about being put out and waking up.

When they put the IV in my hand, I remember feeling a cool feeling go up my arm. I asked the nurse "Is this the stuff going in my arm?" and that was the last thing I remember until they were YELLING at me to wake up in a little recovery room.

As long as you don't have extremes in temperature - especially hot - you shoudl be fine to drink *warm* tea or *warm* cocoa. The ice cream will actually feel good, but the hot stuff... not so good.

*hugs* good luck!
