My teeth!

     I had four! not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR teeth pulled yesterday! Wow! It was interesting. First, they take me back to the room and give me laughing gas. (by the way, I still think I smell some.) It took at least 15-20 minutes for it to start working, then when I was still awake enough to feel it and hear things and see things, he gave me a shot in  the arm! OUCH! I know you are probably thinking, shots aren't that bad, but I have needle phobia. Like some people have arachnophobia, I have Needle phobia. Well, then I guess I went to sleep because I have four big holes in my mouth, but I don't remember falling asleep. The dentist did her thing and poof it was like one hour in real time, but in Anesthesia World it was five minutes. The worst part was waking up. 
      I was what my family calls "jungle baby." The last time I was ever jungle baby was when I had my adenoids out, that was in kindergarten or first grade. Jungle baby is pretty self explanatory, but it is when you are crying, make noises flaring your arms, touching people as if you were trying to pin a tail on a donkey or in this case, someone. But it doesn't have to be just waking up from anesthesia.
      If anyone has had anesthesia then you know that you are pretty tired after it. Unless you are like me and don't take naps. In that 10 hour period (11-8) I did not fall asleep once! But I guess if you count laying on the couch for half the time, then yes I would have slept.

      So in the timeline of February 15, 2011 we are now at the point of which I went to bed.Yes I went to bed at 8:00. You can't blame me, I didn't sleep at all that day! Oh almost forgot.. guess how much money I got for the teeth? (drum roll) 20 DOLLARS! For 4 teeth!  I guess the tooth fairy thought I did pretty well.. all for except the jungle baby part.....




My 4 teeth compared to a penny!
You are probably thinking well where are the pictures? I wanna see these suckers! Pictures will be coming soon.

Wow.. my first blog...

I have a blog! On the move with Carleigh... the title says it all! Wherever we go.. whatever I do will be said here! I guess you could call this my own little diary that people are allowed to look in! This is going to be so much fun! Updates on Vacations, holidays, important events, all at the click of a mouse!
