friday the thirteenth...

Well friends, I'm not usually superstitious, but I'm not gonna lie... getting the teeth pulled on friday the thirteenth just seemed like a bad idea from the beginning.

Luckily, the process went quite smoothly. Dr. McDreamy, who performed the extractions, did a fantastic job and all in all it was pretty easy. He numbed me up and then it took about 25 minutes to get them out. He didn't put any stitches in because apparently I have "good gum tissue." So off I went with my gauze in hand (and mouth).

My friend A took me to the appointment and waited until I finished. She then took me back to her house and cared for me - made sure I ate and took the meds on time! (So sweet). I cuddled with Bella, the furry child and we just kicked it all afternoon (A has Friday's off). It was a fun day, aside from the bleeding and soreness. =) Luckily, I've not had much swelling and am feeling pretty good, but I'm still on the meds.

I was feeling much better my the evening, so A and I went to a "ladies night in: harvest party" at my friend Margaret's house. Didn't stay long, but it was nice to see everyone. I've felt pretty lucky about the process thus far, I've heard some horror stories about the wisdom teeth removal from friends and family. Knock on wood that it continues like it has been!
