I'm getting oral surgery tomorrow - bone from my chin and ear is going into my jaw, so in three months I can get teeth implants from a congential birth defect and get these damned braces off.

I am scared as hell, they are gonna put me out for two hours and have their way with me...

And there is a tournament september 16th which I am scared I will have to miss.

Wish me luck, and send good, "fast recovery" vibes my way, please!

Good luck, and fast recovery vibes on the way!

And think how much happier you'll be without the braces!

Wow...I didn't realize that your surgery is tomorrow. Glad that it is finally going to happen; having to wear braces all the times must be a pain.

Sending prayers and good vibes your way. I hope that your recovery time is swift...but listen to your body, Sam. It is going to need time to heal. Don't try overexerting yourself too soon.

Anywho...I'll try to catch you online sometime tomorrow. I imagine you won't want to do any talking on the phone. ;)

*hugs* You will be fine Sam. I'm sending thoughts for a quick and easy recovery, and that you will be good to go for your tournament. If not, don't fret, and don't push it. It's only one tounament, you wll be better off and happier to have your surgery done and healed. There will be plenty of tournments in the future. :asian:

for some reason I was fighting the nurses when they took me out of anesthesia. I dont remember why, but I managed to get my wrist out of her hold by pulling away at the thumb, thus ripping a needle out of my arm.

I bet my sister I could stay concious through the anestheisa to get to 93 (going backwards from 100). I got to 89, she owes me 10 bucks.

I was in a LOT of pain and pretty miserable the first hour, spitting out a lot of blood. I took a painpill and a half and fell asleep... when I woke up I had 1/2 of another. I think I am gonna stick to halvs so I can think, and be concious.

I feel okay now. I'm hurting, but I can deal with this. Its like I just got kicked in the chin, but the pain doesnt fade.
