Melanie & Tyler Brown

Alright so last friday I decided it was time that I had the rest of my wisdom teeth taken out.  I had two taken out in a study a while ago, but I still had two left.  Well I was terrified.  I don’t know if any of you know much about my strange phobia, but I have a terrible phobia of needles and obviously they need to use needles at some point in the process of getting my teeth pulled.   I went to the dentist and i dragged Tyler along because I did not want to do it alone.  We sat and chatted with the dentist for a while and then he said alright let’s walk you back to the operating room, I looked over at Tyler wide eyed.  He asked if he could come back and hold my hand while they did the shots and they said no!  I then was even more scared and upset than before.  Eek!  Well anyhow, I went back and made it thought it…. and I would have to say the worst part of it was the shots.  Oh but what was funny was they gave me a little bit of laughing gas and I had to tell them to turn it off because I thought I was going to pass out.  It wasn’t good.  They turned it off and pulled the teeth and I was outta there!

I thought everything went a lot quicker than it was going to, and really, Tyler said I was in and out in 13 mins!  Crazy.  As I left the office something was terribly wrong.  My eye was numb!  I could see out of it, but all the area around my eye was numb and then I couldn’t move it.  I would look one way and my left eye would follow but my right eye just didn’t want to move!  It had to have been the strangest thing I have ever experienced.  It took three hours to finally be able to move it.

On the bright side… I am healing great and there is still a little pain, but overall I’m doing excellent and I can see out of my eye! (Sorry, the picture doesn’t do it justice… I looked pretty stupid. )
