numb

so the procedure today was an ultimate success!!! i was very nervous going into it and even more nervous when they hooked me up to monitors, put a "laughing gas" mask over my face and hooked me up to an IV. the last thing i remember was one of the lady's taking my blood pressure and the next thing i knew i was sitting there, giving dr. arne' a thumbs up. surprisingly i was coherent and didn't put on a good loopy show at all, much to my family's and josh's disappointment. i only bled a little bit and have been eating lots (which isn't that surprising, coming from me). Since I've been popping pain pills like crazy (prescribed ones, of course) i've felt pretty tired and have spent most of the day laying on the couch with ice/frozen pea bags on my face. josh came over immediately after for moral support and was very kind to fix my ice bags for me when they slid off my cheeks. i went back to his house for about an hour while our mom's walked but i got tired very quickly after our first couple races of mario kart and settled on watching tv while eating ice cream and getting a foot massage; josh spoils me. right now my right side is much larger than my left (i only had one on my left side and two on my right) so i feel like i look pretty silly but i don't mind. the next couple days will consist of me lying around, watching tv with peas on my face; jealous much?

oh peas...

can you tell which side is more swollen??

  2. I didn't get the mask, they just shot me up with an IV, maybe that's why you did so much better than I did. Josh does a good job of spoiling you!
