Guess What I Did Today?
So we know that last week the dentist said that my wisdom teeth had to come out. So off I go to a surgeon, because the dentist didn't feel comfortable taking them out.
I get to the surgeon yesterday, and he says me teeth should be no problem. I'll come in, they'll put me to sleep I'll wake up and it'll be all over with except for the recovery bit. He drew on my x-rays as he was talking to me. They looked like this:


Then he explained why they had to come out. I added some more labels that I thought might be helpful. This diagram makes more sense the Will's explanation.

So this morning was the big day. I got there and they called me back. I met two nice nurses who i can't remember the names of. They put in an IV. I asked her what was in it, the Nurse said it was bacon and eggs, which is great cause I was starving(No Food, No Drink , since  Midnight  the night before). I told her about the irregularities in my heart and blood pressure (Heart goes fast and blood pressure is low, all still normal though). The surgeon comes in and he pushes a shot through my IV, I see him rearranging the other shots on the table, I can hear the heart monitor beeping..........

The next thing I know, I'm waking up in my recliner watching TV with a mouth full of gauze. I asked how I got home apparently in the car. Total time in Surgery, about an hour and now my x-ray looks kinda like this



I feel better now. Check with me after my pain meds are gone.

Thoughts, Well Wishes, and prayers to whichever diety is appropriate are appreciated.

Current Mood: sore

I feel bad for you. Did they put you to sleep or let you have gas the whole time? I was in a similar situation, where the dentist couldn't operate because of the teeth going into the skull & such. Oh, what fun! I hope you feel better soon. This may not be of much help, but it looked really good. AND, even if you can't eat it yet, it's something to look forward to making in a week or so.

Fruit Salad with Cannoli Cream, compliments of Giada

1/3 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Pinch ground cinnamon
12 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled, quartered (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 dry pint fresh raspberries (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 kiwi, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
Stir the ricotta and 2 tablespoons of cream in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the remaining 1/3 cup of cream, powdered sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl until semi-firm peaks form. Fold the ricotta into the whipped cream. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to stiffen and yield a creamier filling. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Toss the strawberries, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Let stand until juices form, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add the kiwi.
Spoon the fruit mixture into 4 dessert bowls. Dollop the ricotta cream atop the fruit. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve.

I was out the whole time. I don't remember very much but I was asleep. Thank you for the recipe. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
