THERE it's done... Now for the holidays

One incredibly bad week of exams... and then surgery

Exams sigh... i really have no clue how i did... I'll be happy if i pass with a paethtic mark, but one of them might not be so (anticipating bombage)...

Anyways lets talk about the surgery and then i'll list out my schedule (to date) for the holidays

So yeah arrived at the Oral Surgeons Office at the designated time... and got taken to a side room. There the Nurse went through th usual checklist of health concerns (Heart Porblems, allergies etc etc). Then she checked my blood pressure. Next thing she did was to stick 3 stickers thingies meant to monitor my heart pressure/beats and another one onto my pointer finger. This is where it was fun... Once everything was connected i started hearing "beep.... beep... beep... " and so on... took a look at it and my heart rate was at 58-64. Then she made me open my mouth and then she sprayed a numbing agent to the areas to be "operated on" (if you haven't realised yet this isn't a simple pulling/extraction but an actual under the knife surgery). anyways once she sprayed the numbing agent into my mouth, it started to freeze up and lose sensation and i ended up swallowing some of it and as a result my tongue and back of my throat we're also numbing... At the moment you hear a vastly improved "beep beep beep" in the background... my heart rate had jumped to 80.

Then the oral surgeon came in (i asked if i could keep the teeth's but they said they wouldn't allow it). Then they injected me with a needle (sleeping agent??), and then they placed the gas mask (Laughing Gas - badly positioned too LOL, was partly over my eyes). So what was i supposed to do.. .oh right breath through my nose and out through my mouth. but then of course my tongue/upper throat was frozen (and a couple of times it felt like i couldn't breath)... but anyways gas had no smell... and as i breathed this stuff in the Nurse and Surgeon chatted (nurse apperently left her car keys at the other office and had to take TTC)... and then all of a sudden i realised what was happening... my eyes started to get heavy as my breathing began to slow down. and my eyes slowly opened and then shut, until the point that it wouldn't open anymore... Then i heard them say "Alright its about time, lets begin" and that was the last i heard. Next thing i knew I was sleeping in the rest room (howed i get there??) and then my sis came in later (she got one teeth pulled, and because i had three unlike her one i got the luxury of being put to sleep ... she had to endure everything awake)

Well slept my way home... Bleeding on one side took a couple of hours to stop... Had an extremely meagre lunch of congee, and here i am now... (still woozy from the sleeping drugs or whatever... and beginning to feel pain


So now if for my schedule for the holidays...

Sat 17 - Surgery/Recoup (and obviously recouping until i could properly eat, and feel no pain)
18-20 - Free Time (if i'm lucky i should be able to leave and go hang out with people... food is a problem though)
21 - Pick up #3 sis from the airport + then head downtown for Sam Hui concert (Chinese singer)
22 - Party @ K8's
23 - Ryan's Dinner Party (guessing it a nice way to get in touch with a number of Warder's)
24 - Freetime
25 - X-mas Dinner/party with the family/clan
26 - Boxing day shopping? (fishes need new supplies, and trying to set up new tank)
27-28 - Freetime
29 - Party @ Viet's
30 - until start of school semester = Free Time

* All Freetime i guess would be spent recouping, and cleaning the house for the X-mas Party/Dinner

Well this is quite long but here it is... Enjoy... and hope to see some of you soon (assuming my gaping holes in my mouth don't kill me...) ... Oh yeah final note... As of now I am 7 adult teeth short of an average adult... (4 for Braces - 3 for the sake of everything done for the braces) guess if the last wisdom teeth shows itself then it'll be 8 teeth gone...
