Yesterday morning, I had my wisdom teeth extracted. I think this is the most major medical treatment I’ve ever undergone, and my first surgery. I’ve had my share of stitches and broken bones, but I’ve never been anesthetized before. (Parents, please correct me if I’m wrong about this.)

I was a tiny bit nervous coming into it, especially about going under IV sedation, but the staff at Head & Neck Surgical Associates was great, very friendly and professional, answering my questions and chatting while I waited to go “under the knife.” I didn’t notice a thing while I was under, and had no adverse reaction to the sedative. I can highly recommend them, Dr. Bell in particular.

Mad props to Bonnie for taking time out of her day to bring me to the operation, wait while it was performed, and escort me home–especially on such short notice. She also had a good laugh about my post-operative condition, and I appreciate that too.
