Wisdom Teeth Report + Eowyn

Well, I gots my surgery today. It went pretty well, me thinks. They said the surgery itself went great. It'll be a little on the expensive side (if we pay anything; it may be completely covered by the insurance) 'cause my bottom two were full bony. I think they may also have hit a nerve on the bottom, which is really common with full bony impacted, especially in someone my size. This just means I'll have a numb lip for a couple of weeks or more. Anywho, the only "complication" I had was a little nausea, probably a reaction to the narcotics. But they gave me a "wonder drug" for that, and it went right away. I'm still a little dizzy and jittery, but that's pretty good post-sedation. (Yah. I went for the full sedation. I was out for a couple of hours, I think.) I got some ibuprofen, a prescription anti-biotic mouth rinse, and some narcotics just in case. Hopefully the latter will never be used. Today its an all liquid diet, and ibuprofen every six hours. Tomorrow I start the rinse, and keep taking ibuprofen, then I take what I want for the rest of the week until I return for my checkup. Yep.

In other news, Eowyn is apparentely fishie-speak for "Suicidal Jumper". In case you've forgotten, Eowyn the First jumped out of the tank one night and dried up into a crispy fishy. It took a lot of effort to jump out where she did. It was highly unlikely. Then we got Eowyn the Second, who looks pretty much just like the first. Well, I was feeding the girls their favourite treat (bloodworms) yesterday, and Eowyn got excited and leaped out of the tank trying to get at it. Yup. Out of the tank. She fell all the way down the cabinet and into the pile of paint chips. She just HAD to pull this stunt while I was chipping the paint off the cabinet. Erg. Anywho, I ran and got a wet paper towel and dumped both her and her accompanying paint chips back into the tank, then fished the paint chips out. Actually, she was so wriggly that on my first attempt, the paint chips went in and she fell back down. I was really worried that she got hurt (I wasn't worried about her suffocating. Bettas can survive quite awhile out of water as long as they don't dry out, thanks to their labyrinth organ.), but she was okay. She's swimming around like usual, now. Bad fishie. Shouldn't scare me like that. :P

Anywho, that's the news for today. :)
