Wisdom Teeth

Got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. I've got to say that it was much simpler than I had originally thought. I had to be there around 9:40 for the appointment at 10:00. I was there on time and within minutes, Dr. Petcash had me in the surgery room. It was a real small place, so I wasn't surprised that the room was so small. I laid down in the chair and soon enough, had the N20 flowing through my lungs. N20, also known as laughing gas, does exactly what you'd expect. Everything just seemed funny. I remember looking at the wall to my right (it was a blank wall) and just smiling, nearly laughing out loud. I'm not sure why, but I guess that's why nitrous oxide got the name laughing gas. I was in such a state of cluelessness that I didn't even feel him put the IV into my arm. That's the last thing I remember. I woke up an hour later. I can remember bits and pieces, but not much. They gave me 800mg Ibuprofen pills for the swelling and some oxycodone for the pain. Fun times.

  1. I didn't get the laughing gas, they just put the IV in, but it was honestly fun I think. I instantly fell asleep, and a second later I was awake and fine, It was great.
