Let's see...I had two wisdom teeth removed on Feb 9th. Boy was THAT interesting. I opted to take Lorazepam ("I don't give a damn" pill) before the appointment. I was fine until it started to kick in twenty minutes after I took the pill. After that...woooooooooooooooooo! I was gone, ha ha. J got up, since I couldn't drive the kids to school, and when S asked me a question...I just sat there staring at him, my mouth agape. J said "yeeeeeeeeeeah...Mommy has left the building". After he dropped the kids off at school, he asked me if I remembered the address. I said "pffft, i don't need an address, i know where it is". J, wisely, chose to look up the address. When he asked me if google maps had the right place (it's hit and miss with that thing, i swear. this was a miss) i said "...it's not there. it's somewhere else". J was extremely patient with me while I was in my drug induced stupor (drug induced stupid?). When he asked me where it was...
me: duuuuuuuuuuh it's with the wild turkeys
J: and where would those wild turkeys be?
me: *scoffs* on a different street
J: *face palm* we're not going to make it there are we?
me: I know where it is, it's on the other side of xyz street. *very seriously* it's VERY tricky though *nodding head*. It's a long windy road to the end, but once you get there....WILD TURKEYS!
We made it to the correct place at the correct time. I sat in a chair in a daze. J checked me in.
Receptionist: I need her to sign a form.
J: believe me...you don't need her to sign anything
Receptionist: she opted to take the pill, didn't she?
J: OH yeah
I was shuttled back to the back. I wish I could say I got better, but...I didn't.
Me: do I get the mask *holding hand over nose...and leaving it there*
Hygienist: *sing song* did you take your pill this morning?
Me: *nodding*
Hygienist: yes, you get the mask *holding her hand over her nose*
she gave me the laughing gas and things started to get...weird. Voices and sounds were echoing and metallic, the tiles on the ceiling started to swim and...I kid you not, I heard the theme music from Super Mario Brothers, the old NES version. I closed my eyes and as I opened them, I heard the Windows start theme. I, finally, couldn't handle it any more and started laughing.
hygienist: what's so funny?
me: i just heard the windows start theme as i opened my eyes
hygienist: *patting my shoulder* that's because i rebooted the computer honey
the oral surgeon came in and gave me my shots of Novocaine and just popped my wisdom teeth out, as if I merely had two Chiclets's sitting in my mouth. I wasn't given any pain medicine and, as it turned out, I didn't need anything stronger than Motrin and Tylenol.
