Going Under the Knife

This is my sad face.

I will be going under the knife today at 1.  If you remember please have a moment of silence at this time.

Hopefully, I will make it out of surgery alive so that you guys will still have someone to make fun of and someone that makes you feel a little more normal.

I have receding gums bad!!! They tell me it has nothing to do with my candy consumption and that it is all genetic but who really knows.  I have had this surgery before and all I remember is drowning my sorrows in ice cream day after day.

I am teasing, it really isn't that bad.

Basically, they drill into the roof of your mouth, take out as much gum tissue as they can and graph it onto 6 of my teeth.  I am holding the little retainer thingee I have to wear until the hole on the roof of my mouth is healed.

 

The worst part.  Brace yourself.  No candy for at least two weeks.  Hopefully my marriage will make it through this time.....I am a mean person without candy.

You know you are a food addict when your family puts together a big dinner at Outback because you won't be able to eat solids for a week or two.

 

We went all out.  Awesome blossoms, loads of bread, our meals and dessert.

I felt like steak and french fries and there was no way I was going to get anything else but that. Come on people I am going to be living off of Jamba and Creamies for the next while.  Don't feel bad...that is actually really awesome.

Finished off with brownies, nuts, ice cream and whipped cream.  I'll take that for my last meal.

Say a prayer for me.  And if my posts for the next few days are xtra xtra weird it is because I am on lortab.

No one is allowed to post sugary goodness on their blog until I can eat candy again or else I will virtual punch you.

Oh, and no talking about running either....I am supposed to not run for a few days, we will see how long that lasts.  If you really loved me you would participate in a running fast for me.

Do you like laughing gas?

-Yep.  I hate to admit that I am kind of excited for that part of the whole ordeal (is that illegal?).  Most people choose to get anesthesia for this surgery but it costs more so I opt for good ol' laughing gas and lots of shots.  I also bring my headphones so I can't hear all of the sounds and the laughing gas takes me to a happy place.

What would you choose for your LAST meal?

-Awesome blossom, steak, ff, brownies.....yep, wish fulfilled. THANKS AUNT LAURA!!!!

Have you ever had surgery?

-Just this gum problem and one time I had a benign tumor in my mouth too....I think it causes some brain damage.
