So Fucking Hungry

July 26, 2008

I didn’t get to post again last night because of my bad connection. It’s a shame because I’ve been having an interesting couple of days. Yesterday afternoon, I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled. That was something. They had been bothering me for alittle while. Nothing serious but just kinda annoying. Anyway, I go in to have them pulled. They put in the chair, put this huge rubber bit in my mouth, a gas mask on my nose, and then try to hook me up to IV pain meds. I say try because apparently they screwed up the first time. I could turn my head to see or speak to ask what was wrong but the nurse seemed alarmed so they took it out and reinserted the needle. After that it’s all kinda a blur. I don’t remember much except I seemed to have been talking.

When I came to, I felt pretty good. My mouth was packed with gauze and I couldn’t really speak but it didn’t hurt and I was able to get around ok. I was apparently pretty talkative afterwards but I don’t remember it being any more then normal. They really hooked me up with the drugs though. They gave me antibiotics, anti-nausea, anti-inflammatories, and 2 different types of pain pills. They gave me vicodin and percocet. I haven’t had to use them yet and any that I don’t take, I might try to sell to a friend of mine when I get back to Tech. Anyway, it was weird yesterday. My lower lip and check were crazy numb for the rest of the day. I couldn’t feel a thing.

That was gone when I woke up this morning. Today, I’ve just got some slight swelling on one side and occasional taste of blood. It doesn’t hurt at all. The only really bad thing though is that I can’t really eat solid foods. I’ve been eating nothing but pudding, yogurt, and jello for the past two days. I’m fucking starving. According to the doctor’s sheet, I should be able to eat softer things like pasta and eggs tomorrow. I can’t wait because I can’t stand this cold snack food any more. I want warm food! I’m gonna gorge myself on solid foods tomorrow. No more gelatinous crap.

I’m so fucking hungry.
