wisdom teeth adventure

You aren't supposed to do certain things twenty-four hours after being under anesthesia. Some of those things are driving, operating machinery, and as the disclaimer from the dentist put it, "making important decisions". I don't know if writing a blog falls under the category of important decisions but I'm going to update any way.
This morning I woke up at about 9:30. Getting ready was hard because I couldn't eat or drink after midnight. I took advantage of the rules and ate at about 10:00 last night so I wasn't very hungry. I got dress, took a shower, watched a special on the science channel about some guys building and tunnel, and then left with my family to go to Wichita.
I won't bore you with all the formalities I had to go through before so I'll just skip to the surgery. Unfortunately the surgery isn't any more exciting since I don't remember it. They hooked me up to the IV, put in the medicine and I was out. I was under anesthesia for about hour and I woke up. My jaw hurt a little bit and I had gauze in my mouth. The nurse helped me into the waiting room where I could recover. I stumbled a lot and barely got there. I recuperated for a while and then went home. I slept most of the way.
For most of the day I've just been sitting here watching TV and playing on my computer. I wish that this story could have been more interesting. You would think that getting teeth cut out of you would be a more interesting story but it was really just like taking an hour long nap. Sorry if I bored you with this entry.
