All I want for Christmas is my wisdom teeth

Well I don't really want them back, I paid to get them out! I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Friday. I only had the bottom two (thank goodness) and just got them yanked at the dentist office. I didn't go under either = quick, easy and not too many crazy stories. Seems like everyone has a wisdom teeth horror story (makes me think of when Louis C K visited Conan and talks about how we all tell our air travel stories as the most traumatic experiences...when in reality you flew across the county in 5 hours...that's amazing! - See it here.) But mine was fine. humorous at times (that's the drugs talking).

I couldn't shut my mouth for the first day (my brother's comment: "and that's new?" Yes, I am a big talker, hence moe talks a lot). The one on the right is me trying to smile - I did pretty good, but my upper lip wasn't super numb. And, yes, that is some nice drool on my bib. 

Here are my random thoughts I had the procedure and recovery: 

• Do I usually create this much saliva? The most embarrassing might be when I drooled on the floor in Costco waiting to pick up my prescription. Then again, I felt equally stupid drooling on myself sitting on the couch. 
• They should have a pain killer that you don't have to take on a full stomach...do you know how hard it is to get a full stomach when it takes you 45 minutes to eat half a cup of yogurt?
• It stinks getting sick from the pain killers for many reasons: 
• 1. you're still in pain cause the meds just came up the same way they went down. 
• 2. the food that just took you 2 hours to consume is no longer in you. 
• 3. you can no longer eat any of the 'soft food' your husband bought you. No green smoothies or bananas for me for a while! 
• 4. (and this is the worst) you can't brush your teeth! 

Stella snuggled me like an angel puppy for two days! 

Husband took amazing care of me - made me so grateful for him. I had the thought that if I had done this in my single life that I would've been screwed - then I remembered that one of my BFF's, Kellie Hardin would've taken epic care of me. Kind of a random thought and shout out - but she was the best to me in one of my toughest years. Warmed my heart as I laid on my couch to think about her. I should call her, we should chat.

I want a cheeseburger.
