It’s Been Too Long
So, I haven’t blogged for a while. I know, I’m sorry. I was going to say alot has happened, but that would probably be a lie. But a few things have.
First thing: my wisdom teeth are no more. My bottom two wisdom teeth were impacting, and the top two were starting to point outwards since they had no teeth to keep them in check. I had all four wisdom teeth removed under general anesthetic, which was an interesting experience. They clipped a heart beat monitor on a finger on my left hand, and inserted a needle in the top of my right hand, and put a blood pressure thing around my right arm. I could hear my heart beat in the form of beaps, which I could hear increase as I started to get nervous. Then they started the anesthetic, which felt like a cold steel rod being pushed up my arm. I was staring up at the ceiling, feeling the anesthetic run up my arm and as I felt it coming towards my shoulder, and wondering when it would kick in… and of course at that moment my vision went grabled and I was instantly out.
The next thing I know I’m waking up in another room with an icepack in a sling around my face and feeling very groggy. Apparently around two hours had passed. It wasn’t very painful from what I remember (the dentist had given me some local anesthetic to help), and the bleeding had already stopped. This was great compared to when I had teeth pulled and had to put gauze in my mouth to stop the bleeding myself, which was rather uncomfortable and annoying. Then my mum helped me walk out which must have been a sight to see. I couldn’t walk straight, it was like trying to walk drunk in GTA4. It seems it can take a while for the anesthetic to completely leave your system, I felt groggy for days after. I had them out on Thursday, and took Friday and Monday off work, though I probably would have taken another day off if it wasn’t for the milestone. My mum helped me out alot by looking after me and making me soups to eat. I’m glad I’ve done it and it’s behind me now.
During my time off for the wisdom teeth, I had my new oven installed. This took the plumber and his assistant a few hours of making alot of noise, but now I have a new shiny oven with grill and cook top. Since then we’ve started getting alot of oven cooked foods, such as chips, hash browns, potato pieces, sausage rolls, meat pies, and crumbed fish. It suits the cold weather quite well, and it doesn’t hurt that they’re dead simple to cook. Also, I’ve cooked two cakes. One was an upside-down pudding thing which was delicious, and a chocolate cake. I think we’ll start doing that at least once a week.
That’s enough for now, I’ll write about work later.
