A little wisdom lost at the new year....

actually pulled. I finally had my wisdom teeth pulled on the 29th. We wanted to use the rest of the money left on our dental insurance before the year was over. Rod Kellog, being the nice guy that he is, last minute fit me in. It didn't take very long. He just numbed the area locally and let Logan come in to watch. Two of my teeth came out no problem. One was a little harder and had an infection under it (so I was put on penicillin). And the last one, always the last one, was a beast. I guess there was bone growth over the top of it so it would have never come down. I'm just glad I finally got them taken out... they've been such a burden for so long!! Two had come completely through but there was not enough room in my mouth for them and one had just started to break through the gum. I could feel the pressure from it and was glad to get rid of it! I was feeling so good the next day that I didn't take it easy at all and it wiped me out for New years Eve. I didn't want to spend my New Years cooped up in the house so I decided I would go with Logan and the Hollidays (who were visiting from out of town) to Japanese Kitchen; even though I still really couldn't eat anything! About three hours before we're supposed to go, my right eye swelled shut, I got a rash and my wind pipe started to close. I had a pretty bad allergic reaction to penicillin. I have never had a reaction to it before, but i guess it can happen at anytime. I downed 3 benedryll and layed on my parents couch wheezing. Thinking back, it was pretty scary how much my throat closed! But it all turned out fine. I woke up just as Logan was leaving to go with the Hollidays. He asked if I still wanted to go..... NO. After he left I got up and started walking around and realized I was totally drugged and loopy but feeling better. Long story short, my mom drove me to meet up with everyone at the restaurant (because I couldn't drive that loopy!) and we entered the New year with a bang! It was a rough start but hopefully that means it will be a good finish.
