My Surgery

Today was quite the day. Mom woke me up at 5:45 am for my dental appointment. After waiting, checking in, and waiting even longer I finally was given the "crazy juice". After 5 minutes I was swaying and having a hard time concentrating. I wasn't sleepy... just very drugged. About 20 minutes later the nurse came and took me back for my surgery.

The procedure was supposed to last an hour but an hour and a half later, Mommy started to get worried. Finally the surgeon came in and gave an update. Things went fairly well. I had 2 teeth extracted, several cavities filled, two teeth capped and then covered. Things weren't so great after that. After half an hour they called Mommy back to pick me up. (She was supposed to be there when I woke up). By the time she reached the sidewalk to the patient pick-up, Mommy could hear me screaming. I was crying so hard I was throwing up.

Once Mommy picked me up I was much better. I snuggled and went back to sleep for a bit. I wouldn't let the nurses touch me to check for vitals or remove my I.V. (I had been through enough). Just then Daddy came in. It was a good thing too. Mommy started getting sick from waiting without food for so long. I cuddled with Dad while she had something to drink, they removed my I.V. and we headed home.

I slept for a bit and started feeling much better. I really wanted to be home with my family. A few hours later I was back to my normal self. Once the swelling goes down I'll post a pic so you can see my great smile.
