wisdom teeth.

I got all four wisdom teeth removed on Monday. Its pretty safe to say that I have been a chipmunk since. That was not fun at all. Thank goodness its only a one time thing. When I got home on Monday after the extraction Brooklynn took one look at me and was very concerned. She wasn't worried about my giant puffy face or the gauze stuffed in my mouth, she was worried about the band aid on my arm(where the IV was) She didn't like that I had to get a shot. All day she checked on my band aid, rubbed my arm and told me Id be better. She climbed into bed with me and read me story books, sang me songs and watched movies with me. She was a really great little nurse. I also had a really great doctor at home taking care of me. Ryan made sure my head was propped, my meds were taken, my cheeks were iced and that I STAYED in bed. He also made and fed me jello the first day. Thank you also to Auntie Tara who brought me Dairy Queen and my mom who brought Brooklynn some play-doh to keep her busy and give her something fun to do. Now that it has been 4 days I'm still sore but I'm up and around now. Hopefully by this weekend ill be back to myself and able to eat something other than mush(I'm really sick of eating mush) Ill be treating myself to a BIG burrito from Chipotle!

My sweet Brooklynn, climbed into bed with me, curled up under my arm and fell asleep. She made me feel so much better :]
