wisdom teeth, what?

hey everyone! wow, i know this must be a record-two blogs BACK TO BACK! buuut..im kinda bed ridden right now, and taking a break from typing up child development notes..so, i figured id do a quick blog on the status of my WISDOM TEETH!! heh, yeaaa..this morning i woke up at 445 so i could be at pottstown hospital by 6am to undergo surgery by 730..

ill tell you the truth, i was pretty nervous. buuuut, i told myself that this was something that was not in my control, and instead, casted all my worries to God. and must i tell you, my God is an AWESOME GOD! he blesses me so much, i am so unworthy and so undeserving. but, He chooses to love me..unconditionally, and constantly holds me within his loving arms. anyway, about the surgery..everything went amazing..after getting the IV put in me, i fell right asleep...i was COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT..literally, all i remember was the doctor, laughing, saying "goodnight melissa.." and me kinda smirking, thinking "its gonna take more than THAT to knock me out.." buuut, the next thing i knew, it was an hour later, and i was juuuust stirring in the comfort of the recovery room to the nurses's "heyy melissa, you did really good..surgery went awesome." anyway, i layed there for awhile, listening to the guy next to me make a fool out of himself b/c of the medicine..heh, yeaa..it was niice..my face felt like it was 100X bigger, but when i actually looked at it..it didnt look too different..and my swelling went down surprisingly REALLY FAST! after not being able to eat or drink for 10+ hours, the hospital finally treated me to some gingerale and some water ice..which, i kiiiinda ate..and i was ready to go home by 11!!

sooo..now its about 6 o'clock and ive literally spent the entire day in bed...i have to say though, everyone complains about getting wisdom teeth out..the pain, the irritability, this and that..but HEYY im not complaining, i think its great!! ive got a legit. excuse to lay in bed, and im surrounded by everything i need within the vicinity of a few inches. plus, my amazing mother is waiting on me left and right-even going out of the way to buy me rita's mistos and gelatis-which OF COURSE, im obsessed with. i love my mom!! she keepds telling me "i have to eat, i have to eat" lol..but honestly, ive drank more soda today than i have in the past year! hey...the doctor told me i need sugars in me..

anyway, i should be bed ridden for about another two days, and then well..I NEED TO GET OUT! heh, im not the type of person to stay in-in fact, ive already got plans lined up for friday and saturday with some friends from home! :) ohh and i actually might drive back up to reading to attend a 4D church thing at glad tithings friday night...im not sure, we'll see..

ahhh, the doctors say the swelling is the worst after 48 hours, sooo..we'll see..im hoping im an exception to that (knock on wood)-heh, nahh actually, im okay with what happens, I put my trust in God, and whatever His will is, I accept. :)

for any of you reading this, thanks so much for your thoughts and your prayers. i have the best two friends in the world-jess and lee you are both amazing..thanks for the IMs and the phone calls..adam too..i just, ahh, im so incredibly lucky to have all of you. between my family, my friends, everyone..I'm the happiest girl in the world. :-D

alright folks, back to work, nice to blog! :) ill be catching you all later!
