Blog Entry! When
you (and me) least expected it! On this very boring Sunday afternoon I decided
to go to the library like old times even though my mouth is still sore and I am
swollen. Alas I have nothing else to do with my life and I am bored. So I decided
to do a blog entry and talk to all my lovely friends out there that I know I
have. As most of you know I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed on Friday. It
was not a pleasant experience. The worst of all was that they really didn’t
sedate me that much. I believe my blood pressure dropped for some reason so they
decided not to give me much sedation. Well for whatever reason I sure as hell
felt the huge needle in each corner of my mouth. After that I kind of closed my
eyes and prayed for it to all go away, and while they waited for the numbing
medication to kick in I just laid their somewhat helpless. The numbing
medication worked but I certainly remember every moment of what that stupid
monster dentist bastard did. It wasn’t a sharp pain it was just a pressure pain
because of the local anesthesia did. The entire time he and his nurses were
talking about how one of the nurses found a baby bat in her back yard that
morning, and there I was getting four bones removed from my mouth, and I was
just thinking these clowns were idiotic bastards. Before I knew it he was “stitching
me up”, not something you think will ever happen to your mouth but yes it was
happening. I thought the worst was over. I had been told I was going to get
vicoden for pain.
Well I did not get
vidoden. I got some non-narcotic pain med which doesn’t really help that much.
Good thing is it makes me super tired, but that’s about it. He popped his dopey
head into the waiting room and told my mom he wasn’t going to give me a
sedative because I was on “enough meds as it is”, so he didn’t want to give me
a narcotic. Well I agree with that, but instead of giving me a steroid and an
antibiotic this clown should have given me a real pain med. Anyway here I am
over 48 hours later, swollen in a little pain, but overall I am doing better. I
am going to take another round of steroids, pain meds, and antibiotics before I
go to med tonight and I am hoping I will be ready for class, a math placement
test, and therapy tomorrow. Let’s hope.
I need to be
honest with everyone and only some people know. I have been thinking about
going to a group home. There are only 2 group homes locally who will take
someone as young as me and then there is 1 in Richmond VA. They aren’t the
nicest of places but I need a new environment and I need help. Some people don’t
recognize it, but I am falling and I am falling fast. My other option is to
pack up and move to Maryland where the best providers are. I have always wanted
to move to Maryland specifically Baltimore County because there are so many
great schools and I could finally be seen by the professionals, I need to see
and my best of friends lives there as well ;). Only problem is…It is not that
easy to just pick up and move 5.5 hours away. I get a SSI check as of now but
it is only $473 per month and that is not enough to live independently, however
if I move my check will be increased and I will also have to work. I also plan
to start school at the Community College of Baltimore County as soon as I get
there. Again, this is all just hopes and dreams as of now…but one can dream. I
would have to apply for Maryland Medicaid, and I have heard that Maryland
Medicaid is much better than Virginia Medicaid so that would be another plus.
So if anyone reading this blog knows of someone
looking for roommate, a cheap apartment complex in Towson/Baltimore County, or
has any other suggestions please let me know. J
It is good to be back in the blogging world. I
will really try to do this at least every other day if I can J <3
