The Land Between Consciousness and Fuzz...

Well, now that I am on the other side of the sedative, life is grand! Went to doctor crafts today, majorly stressed because I HATE needles... Anyways. First, before I get into that I have to tell about all of my day. In English class this morning Mrs Mawer had Mr Howe come in to talk to us about personality and do this personality test thingy. It was really cool. Found out that I am an introvert but i love to be extroverted. How strange is that? Like, everyone was like, I can't believe you're an introvert! And when Mr Howe was explaining the difference, and he described extroverts, every one was like Becca, your brain has something seriously wrong with it! You are so not an introvert. You must have answered those questions majorly wrong. It was quite funny. Actually, with the four different parts of personality all together, I was the only one of my kind! Thumbs up for uniqueness! All the way!

So that was a good class. The rest of my day kind of went by without me needing to be there, well the morning anyway, because in french class M Stefani was just doing conditionnel tests and then we watched surprise surprise on tv... and then in music Mr B was in a whole kerfuffel because his mother was being rushed to hospital in an ambulance and they thought she had a stroke and everything... I felt so bad, Mr B is having quite the hard time lately. So we got to do whatever we wanted all period and I ended up reading for most of the time after having exhausted meaningful conversation topics with Katie. My book is currently the most amazing thing ever and is my best friend for the time which i will be spending most of my life on the couch with an ice pack. It would be the most amazing thing ever anyway, because you have no idea how many times i exclaimed random thing out loud in music class today either from anger, horror or anguish while reading. You don't believe me, ask Katie. She was yelling at me because she is reading the book before mine and has no want to know what the hell is happening. All in all it was a good class.

And then at lunch I was supposed to be at five places at once but only ended up going to two. At twelve thirty I had a VY meeting which i went to, and as it turns out, I get to tape the girls Rip Seely game wednesday! I was going to be going anyway with Katie and it's going to be so fun! I haven't watched good basketball for AGES. Then I was supposed to be at an info meeting for House Committee for Romeo and Juliet but I decided not to go because the show is only three nights and the first night i have dance which i don't want to miss because I'm already missing it tonight because I really didn't think it would be a good idea to spin around all that much while still having gauze in my mouth and freezing that makes my mouth numb.. And then Friday I'm supposed to be doing something with Andrew and Saturday was supposed to be the night that I went to see the play with Mom, so really, qu'est-ce le point? Anywho.. on with my lunch hour. I was also supposed to be at Renaissance at one o'clock to count pennies (I found that out from Trish) but i decided not to go because counting pennies is like watching paint dry and also because I had better places to be. I was also supposed to be at Reach practice, and sadly couldn't go. Would have been a ton of fun because it was a returning players practice, but what can you do? C'est la vie. I ended up spending my lunch hour in the band room with the rest of the choir people watching them eat (tear i wasn't even allowed to drink water!!!) and get ready for the Rememberance Day assembly. It went extremely well, I think anyway, and the video they showed of all the veterans was really touching. I enjoyed myself, and my singing wasn't so bad.:) I am officially going to have to find the song Imagine by John Lennon because I love it.

So then the real fun began. Left school at two thirty to get to Craft's for three. They took me into this room where I lay on like this dentist chair or whatever you want to call it, and the nurse/helper/whateveryouwanttocallher was sooo nice! It was really a strange coincidence, because she asked what school i went to, and I said KV, and then she said what grade? And I said 10, and she's like do you know my daughter? Jenny Upham? I was like yeah! She's in my french class! And I did Fill the Void with her at Keely's! And then she's like, were you one of the ones i drove in my van? And then it dawned on me! I finally realized where I knew her from!! She had driven me kate samantha and kelsey back to keely's after we finished collecting cans from all of the houses. What a small world! She was so nice. So then there's another coincidence, Karen, from choir, she's in there too, getting her wisdom teeth out! And all the while im laying on this chair waiting for Craft to come knock me out and i can hear her mom starting to freak out because she's allergic to metals of some sort and she was worried about the stitches and the needle iv thing, and all this time karen was just like mom! stop talking! eventually all was well im assuming because craft came into my room and wow he is an interesting character. said hi. how are you. then listed off all the things that could happen to me "...although there is less than a one percent chance of THAT..." etc. and then said "are your veins easy to find?" that was it. then he stuck the needle in me, which wasn't bad at all (:D) and then Mrs Upham put somehting in my mouth, a bite thingy, so that my mouth would stay open while i was asleep, and then i felt the drug going into my arm, and I have to tell you, that was a lot more painful than getting the actual needle in. And then I have memory loss. I don't remember falling asleep. I just know that i did. And I don't remember waking up. I just know that I did. I dont exactly remember how I got to the little recovery room either. I slightly remember mrs upham being there, asking me if i was okay, and then helping me sit up. Strange feeling, that was... I was soooo dizzy. and then i held her arm while she helped me walk, all the while me trying to stay standing, and then she took me into the room and i just sat down on this bed thing. And then she gave me my tooth and said i could take it home with me and brought my mom in and told her all about treatment and painkillers and icepack and salt water rinse etc. then i sat there for like five minutes and then she changed my gauze and gave me a whole hunk of new stuff and got me to try to walk and i was fine without her help so we were free to go and that was it. Walked out of that place with the hope and good feeling that i will probably never have to go back. I mean, how many teeth can a person have out in a life time? that was my tenth, and im not hoping for more. Ah, well. It felt funny to talk because my whole right side of my mouth was frozen solid but no pain. Well, pain. but not in the mouth. My arm hurt. Strange, the way things work. My arm doesn't hurt now, and my mouth doesn't either! The freezing has worn off so I'm assuming I feel no pain because of the painkillers that are currently in my system. Two advil, and two tylenol one with coedine. My mom = pharmacist = totally awesome! Later, when I get hungry ( no, i am not hungry, and haven't eaten for nine hours. GASP! This cannot be me! It is not Becca Thomas here!) I'm going to have some Kraft Dinner. mmm. yay.:) And once I eat I am allowed to have the real painkiller, torydol. (no idea how that is spelled. my mother may be a pharmacist but that in no way at all helps me spell the things that she sees everyday.)

So yes. That pretty much sums up life up to date. oh, and if any band people read this, please tell me how much fun laughing at my condition was at band today!:D (Andrew told me how he annouced that you should all laugh at me and i personally would like to hear about it:P) Well, now I'm off with mère to go PAY FOR MY BRAND NEW SAXOPHONE!!!!!!!!! YES THAT IS RIGHT! MOM IS BUYING IT FOR ME!!!!
peace.(L)
