The Aftermath, Pt. III

Here I am typing away with swollen cheeks, trying to keep consciousness by not dozing off, while swallowing mucous and blood every 5 seconds (hey! it's what they told me to do!). I was scared as hell going into that room. That had me lie completely parallel with the floor, and started hooking monitors up to me. The nurses continually asked me how I was doing while I repeatedly responded "scared... nervous... afraid..." Yeah, a bitch maybe, but I have bad experiences with dentists, so whatever, don't judge me. After everything was hooked up and I was strapped down, the doctor came in and told me he was going to give me medicine first before knocking me out, so I'd calm down. He inserted the needle, and injected the "anti-worry" medicine into me. He kept asking me if it was kicking in yet, which it wasn't, but then... I felt a weird rush over my body. Could this be it? Is the anti-worry medicine kicking in? I thought about what was going to happen in the next coming minutes, and was still sweating bullets. Then I took in a deep breath and looked up. My eyes started roll to the back of my head, and then BAM! "John, it's all over, take a minute to relax." I was still trying to get a hold of my bearings, and then the pain set it. Oh god, my bottom teeth were aching. I figured, hey! I'll just go back to sleep, so maybe something will kick in... Nope. The nurse sat me up, and told me to wait for my mom and uncle. They walked into the room, and I was still kind of out of it, and attempted to smile. I told the nurse that my teeth hurt really bad, so she gave me a vicodin. Then... something really embarrassing happened. Everytime I tried to talk, I had to stop mid-word because I';d start to get choked up. By then, I think whatever they gave me before the vicodin gad kicked in, and it wasn't hurting as bad, so I knew it wasn't the pain. I wasn't scared, or nervous, or sad... So I bit my lip all the way to the car. Once I stepped in and all the doors were shut, I let it out... "Mom, I feel like crying..." And then I started wailing... "I don't know why... I'm not in pain, I'm not sad..." And my uncle started laughing and told me to let it out... So I did... I was crying so hard I started laughing because I didn't know why... 5 minutes later, the urge to cry went away, and I told Martha about it, and she told me that a lot of people randomly cry after waking up from anesthesia, and that I wasn't alone. Boy was that a relief, lol.

So I'm back... I had to cool off a bit, in the middle of my post, something happened and I flipped out. What I didn't get to post in the first half I'll do it now... The dentist I guess cauterized a hole into the bottom of my tongue. Since my teeth stopped hurting once I left the dentist, the only thing that hurt was my tongue and throat. I later found out my throat hurt because I wasn't drinking any water, so my throat got super dry, and well... my tongue hurt because there was a FUCKING HOLE IN IT! I called and asked them why there was, and they avoided the question and said "The only thing we extracted was the teeth." Basically saying they didn't do it, and that I more than likely bite it. First off, the shape was a perfect circle, like it was scooped out by a mini ice cream scoop, and secondly... I couldn't bite that part of my tongue if my life depended on it. It really pissed me off... So anyways, I tried to cool off a little bit so I was messing with my iTunes, and then I started to get really groggy. I decided to lay down, but something didn't feel right. My chest felt like it was on fire, so I took my temperature... 101! I freaked out, and got pissed off, and this and that, and got so pissed off I put myself to sleep. After resting for a bit, my dad came home and told me to take some Tylenol instead of Vicodin, so I did, but was pissed off because if you take Tylenol, you can't take vicodin for 6 hours, and I was worried the pain would come back or something, so I got pissed off and when upstairs and layed down. Supposedly, the Tylenol was supposed to lower my temperature, as well as take the pain away, so whatever... Anyways, once I woke up, I felt 100% better( mood-wise) but my throat and tongue still hurt. Fast forward to right now, and yeah... Basically the same... My tongue hurts as well as my throat, even though my throat has gotten a little better cuz I've been chugging down water. But yeah... I really want to cuss out those dentists, but we'll see where it goes. I just wanna relax and heal up. Hopefully soon...

No More Texting

I used to be on a plan with my sister and Martha, but when my sister decided she didn't want to pay the bills anymore, I felt enough was enough. So i asked my dad if me and Martha could move onto his plan and it only be an extra $20... He said yeah, so went down to AT&T to go set it all up. Turns out my dad hasn't upgraded or changed his plan since 2004, so his plan had technically expired, but they were honoring it still because he stayed committed to Cingular. The plan I was on was 700 minutes and unlimited texting, but my dad's was 850 minutes and no texting, so for me to join his plan, he had to downgrade from 850 to 700. He did, but he refused to add on the texting... so even though my phones not turned off, and I still have service... I have NO MORE TEXTING!!! :(

I CAN'T LIVE, IF LIVING IS WITHOUT YOU.. I CAN'T LIVE... I CAN'T TEXT ANYMORE!!!

This is gonna suck...

Widsom Teeth

I went to my wisdom teeth consultation today. AH!!! They gave me an appointment for next Monday. I am a little nervous... I've seen friends and family go through this, and it definitely doesn't look fun. They prescribed me Vicodin and antibiotics, so hopefully that will help with the pain and infection, but still... AH!!! They also went over what could go wrong... permanent jaw and nerve damage and numbness. PERMANENT!!! AH!!! But I keep thinking that this procedure has been done a million times, and I'm hopeful nothing will go wrong. But I guess we'll see... dun dun duuun...

Macromedia Suite 8

SWEET! Awhile ago I got excited because I came across Adobe Creative Suite 4... an awesome compilation of the best web editing/creating programs out there. I had been using Macromedia Suite 8, and Adobe CS4 is basically Macromedia Suite 10, but they changed the name and added new programs, but anyways... When I first started messing with these web programs, I used Flash 4, then from there went on to use Macromedia Suite 2005. The upgrade from 2005 to 8 was awesome! They didn't change much, but added a lot more awesome craziness that made things easier and awesomer. After Macromedia Suite 8 was Adobe CS3, which I didn't know came out so I didn't get it, but when I came across the free download of CS4, I had to get it!!! So I did, and wow... The layout was different, they added new tools and buttons, and it was a completely different program it seemed. And the program was, I'm sure the change happened on CS3 because there was no Help tools to tell you how to do anything. I was sidelined. I couldn't make anything because I didn't know how, not to mention the fact that the files were so big, and it lagged my computer and caused it to freeze up every time I used it. I knew I couldn't handle this pile of shiznitch, so I intended on reinstalling Macromedia Suite 8, but then... I lost my install disc. I didn't panic because I still had the serial number, and I could download the trial version and input the serial and BAM!, but... THEY DELETED ALL ACCESS TO THEIR TRIALS!!! I even tried to download it from various sites, and no one had it... NO ONE! But then... one fateful day, my awesome friend JOSIE sent me a link, a link to Macromedia Suite 8, and yes... it was sweet x8!!! SO now I am backo in actiono, rockin' and rollin' and what not. GEA!

Twitter is the stupidest invention that was ever invented

WTF is that!? Stupid!

Video Blog

Remember how I blogged about them not making any 'Daddy Journals'? Well, now it seems pregnant girls are making video blogs on YouTube about the pregnancy. So you know what? Yeah that's right... RIGHT HERE baby! My video blog... from MY point of view, gea gea gea!

Great News

Went to the ultrasound appointment today. Our baby had a heartbeat, WOO!!! And wow... actually seeing him/her for the first time, it was amazing! I got the pics from the ultra sounds. I guess I'll post them on here for updates and stuff...

1st Ultrasound Image (Outline) [09/23/09]
2nd Ultrasound Image (Outline) [10/09/09]

Nothing much else happened today... gotta lotta homework to finish up this week, so I better get to it, LATER!

Blah News

So we (Martha & I) go to the doctors with our fingers crossed, and they tell us we need to go to another building, so we rush over to the other building just to wait for them to get back from lunch break. Their lunch is from 12:00 - 2:00, yet they schedule people at 1:30... stupid, but we finally get in, and the doctor tells us that the "pregnancy levels" don't matter this far into the pregnancy, we need an ultrasound. WTF! So we won't know anything until we get the ultrasound on Friday, and go over with results with the doctor next Wednesday. I can't believe they're slow process in knowing if my child is a live or not! But I take it as a good sign of them not rushing it cuz there isn't anything wrong... On another good note, at least I'll get to see the live ultrasound, and if everything is okay I could possibly see him wiggling :), but I'll be okay with a heartbeat... I'm excited.

In other news, just got tickets to see Dead by Sunrise play on Jimmy Kimmel... w00t w00t! Linkin Park is my favorite band, and if you didn't know, the lead vocalist Chester Bennington started a side project, and I'm going to go see them! WOOO!!! Awesome! That's it for now... Later!

Threatened Abortion

Martha went to the bathroom and saw clotting in the toilet so we rushed to the ER. We were there for 2 hours where they interviewed us, took blood and urine samples, gave her a pelvic exam, and gave us optimistic hopes by telling us that they think everything is okay. The problem is they won't know for sure until the blood results come in and are compared with the ones she'll have to take in a few days. They need to measure her "pregnancy levels" which are found in her blood samples. Everyday her pregnancy levels double, so when they compare them in a few days hopefully by then the levels will be quadrupled and not the same or lower. I hope everything's alright. I'll pray for him/her to be safe and healthy.

First Time Father Journal

Martha just bought a "Mommy Journal" and is bidding on a "Baby Journal" but what about a "Daddy Journal"??? Where am I gonna write my stomach size each week, and my cravings and my emotions through the whole pregnancy? Well, maybe not those details, but there's a lot of stuff that I'm going to be going through and stuff I want to remember and write down... They always cater to women and children... what about the doods!? They were interviewing Martha asking her about her family heritage and medical history... What about mine... My medical history is just as important as hers, it's OUR child that's inside her, not just hers... Stupid stuff like that... Anyways, I guess I'll have to use this as my Daddy Journal...
