This is the easiest post-op I could possibly ask for. And it’s only day 1.

Ice cream, apple sauce, pineapple smoothies, and mac and cheese.
No painkillers, just ibuprofen.
No swelling or anything.
Just 4 large holes in my mouth.
Hell, I could have gone on a bike ride today

My dad took a video after I got my wisdom teeth removed.

I was obsessing over how I didn’t think the surgeon did the countdown

He had to remind me not to chew the gauze in my mouth because apparently short-term memory is terrible post-op

Just had my wisdom teeth removed…

and now i’m reading through my post-op text conversation with Marissa. The parts where I said i had trouble typing, I was spending several minutes going back and correcting the sentence until it was perfect because I couldn’t hit the right keys for the life of me.

Also, I’m realizing I don’t remember waking up or driving home, but I do know I’ve watched Homeland almost nonstop since I got back.

I also remember firmly believing that I was experiencing the reverse-placebo effect and that nothing was actually happening.

I might post a video that my dad took soon

Apparently there’s a Mumford and Sons song where he just says “Holy Fuck” over and over again

And everyone in this waiting room is looking around at each other uncomfortably
