momma, my mouth hurts!

Gaaahhh, so today is the day after my wisdom teeth extraction. I think I'll tell you the whole story, so bare with me s'il vous plait!

I went to the surgeon's office around.. 8:45AM, reading some TIME magazines (they were pretty interesting, I have to say!) Then one of the receptionists called me into the surgery room. My first thoughts = OH SHIT! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! (I didn't btw lol) She took my blood pressure, and my heart rate. Then I started coughing like crazy! My heartbeat went up to like 150 rpm, and I got even more nervous.. because the doctor said I can't be sick during the operation! And my parents would kill me (again)

Luckily, I got over the coughing, and the doctor came in, gave me a shot on my right arm. I then got all tingly, then one of the nurses put an oxygen mask on me. I guess that's when I got knocked out, I TOTALLY don't remember! I didn't even have any dreams. I woke up in a room, with my nagging dad telling me to wake home so he could cook dinner (this early?) I took one step up and I was as wobbly as a drunken old man. Not good. My dad, as impatient as he is, had to wait 5 minutes until I could gain my land legs again. Then I looked in the mirror.... I looked mean and vicious. My mouth was also full of gauze and blood >__<

I went home, and took a nap. But damn, my jaw and gums hurt SO much, idk how to explain it.. it's a pain like no other. My dad made me eat congee, and after I took amoxillin(?) and some kind of pain killer. And to the present: I have hamster cheeks. My mouth is still sore as fuck. I can't even eat anything besides soup and ice cream (gosh it gets tiring)

I'm not going to post pictures. I don't want to scare you atm. Maybe next Spring Break, when I get my top wisdom teeth out ^__^
