teeth be gone

today seamus went in to have some teeth taken out. how come back when i was younger and had like 8 teeth taken out, all i got were a few painful pokes with a needle and he nurse telling my i had pretty hair as i drooled blood all over the place, but seamus got the full on deluxe treatment! seamus had a "large mesiodens" i suggest you don't do a google image search of that one unless you want to have nightmares for the rest of your life. i have said this more than once, but it is best not to think too much about the giant hole on your face that has a weird long flapping muscle and sharp white things that grow of out no where, and that we put stuff on the outside of that hole to make it redder and some people like to inject it and make it all puffy. and we put stuff in that hole in order to stay alive. so gross. yet the only thing grosser than all that is when in movies they have people with no mouths, like when the skin just grows over the hole. omg, terrifying!!! mouths are weird and scary. so she needed to have that sucker taken out, along with 2 baby teeth. so she was put under and then they took them out. took 45 minutes, maybe not even from them taking her back to when we could see her in recovery as she was coming too. she was so sweet and cute as she lay there all wrapped up in a fuzzy blanket, curled up. but then she started to get all pissed as she woke up because she had a roll of gauze in her mouth that she was biting down on and her face was all numb and she did not like that one bit. she probably didn't like it that we were all standing over her yapping, well, i wasn't, i was cuddling her trying to make her feel safe but everyone else seemed like they were yelling. not too long after, eric picked her up and put her in the car. she would shed a few tears every once in a while about how she didn't like it, ok, she said she hated it, but then she would just sit there. once we got home, eric put her in bed and i cuddled with her. the whole time just a little afraid she was going to throw up on me since they say that can happen, but she never did. she had one dose of her pain medication as the numbness wore off but has had nothing since. she doesn't like it and she doesn't want it. the rest of the day she just took it mellow, napped a little on the couch, had lots of applesauce and pudding and will be off to school tomorrow! she is a trooper!! now the big thing is that the real tooth is in a funky position that it could very easily swap places with the smaller tooth next to it! gotta git it all figured out and taken care of. what else? nuthin. i've got nuthin. i'll have sumpthin next week tho!!
