New Project Color

I've cast on another knitting project. However, I'm not going to share the details yet because it is a surprise gift for someone. For now though, here's the color:

FO: Honey Cowl

I finished my Honey Cowl on Thursday night and I am very pleased with the results. If you want more details, you can visit my ravelry page here to get more details about the cowl.

My brother was kind enough to take a few pictures for me :)

Scarf # 2

After I knitted my first scarf, I decided to make another one for more practice and I love how it came it. I love the color purple too and I have certainly enjoyed wearing it! 

Here it is on Christmas Day:

And for those wondering, I'm all better from my wisdom teeth extractions! No more pain!! :) I go tomorrow afternoon for them to pull the stitches. My mouth is still a little sore, but I think I can handle that!

More Pain :(

So yesterday morning, the pain got worse. So I called the doctor and they had me come in. Come to find out, I have dry socket and an infection. So now I'm on antibiotics and more pain meds. But I'm already starting to feel a lot better this morning. 

I would love to be sitting right here right now :)

Nothing New

So, not much has changed since my last update. I'm still having quite a bit of pain; definitely more than I expected to have at this point! I talked to Dr. Jonathan on Monday, and he prescribed a stronger pain medication. The only thing is that I can't drive while taking it, and due to me having to go to work and school, I can only take it at night. Dr. Shawn called me again tonight to see how it was going. I have been taking advil every 4 hours and he wants me to start taking tylenol with the advil and take them every 3 hours. He also wants me to continue the codeine at night so I can get some rest. Hopefully the next few days will go better. I go for a follow-up on Friday morning, so if nothing changes between now and then, I'm sure Dr. Shawn will have some more advice. Their office has been amazing throughout this whole process!

School started back up on Monday, so it's back into the craziness of life! I have a totally different schedule this semester than I had last semester. So far I like it better, but it definitely is taking some getting used to! 

Wisdom Teeth Update

I am going to write all of the details, mostly because this is my personal scrapbook and I want to remember so I can look back on it. So don't feel pressured to read the whole thing! 

So here's the story: Dr. Zahner gave me a medication to take an hour before my appointment. It made me very loopy and very tired. When I got to their office, they numbed the bottom of my mouth and put me on the nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas). This nitrous oxide sedation was a little mask that I had to wear over my nose and then breathe through my nose the whole time. 

When they started the actual surgery, I was very calm, very tired and very relaxed. I had both of the bottom teeth taken out so they did the tooth on my left side first. It was a piece of cake. It went very well and did not take as long as I expected it to. I felt no pain at all. I was aware of the doctor moving around, and I could here them talking, but I really wasn't focused on what they were doing. They took a 2 min break in between both teeth and I just laid there, very relaxed. 

Then they started the tooth on my right side. This was a lot more complicated, as Dr. Shawn had a hard time getting it out. It hurt so bad; I've never been in so much pain before. It was so painful that I started crying and didn't even realize that I was crying until Dr. Shawn wiped the tears from my eyes! (I have such a wonderful dentist office!) At that point, they had to stop and numb my whole right side again. I was very anxious and restless, and Dr. Shawn could tell. Part of this was because as I was crying, my nose got stuffed up so I started breathing through my mouth instead of through the mask. I didn't even realize this until Dr. Shawn told me this while we were waiting for my mouth to get numb again. After a few minutes passed, he started up again with the tooth. He was able to get it out, although it took a lot of force. Honestly, I won't be surprised if I get some bruises on that side. I was very restless the rest of the time, and there was still some pain it just wasn't as bad as before. Once he told me it was out, then I was able to rest a little bit. 

I have been taking advil every 4 hours. They are helping a little bit, but I am very sore and still have some pain. Mom gave me vicodin to help me sleep last night, and I was able to get some good sleep. I did have to get up to take some more about 2:00 this morning. Now I am back on advil every 4 hours. My jaw is a little puffy/swollen, but it is definitely not as bad as I expected it to be. Dr. Shawn did say that the pain will probably be the worst today, but I'm hoping that it won't be!

I've just been sitting on the couch, reading my nook or working on my knitting. I am hoping that the pain will be lessened enough today for me to go to young group tonight. We will see! 

Wish me luck!

So this morning I am getting my wisdom teeth out. Yes, my appointment is in 1 hour! I'm a little anxious; I honestly don't know what to expect. I've heard lots of horror tales about it but at the same time, I've also heard that its really not that bad. Anyone have their own stories about this? 

Flips

Aaron has fun getting Lily to do flips!

Pics of Kiddos

I took the kiddos the other night so Brad & Dee could go out for their anniversary. We had a little mini photo shoot and here's the results! I think they are pretty cute, but I might be a little biased :)

Adorable, aren't they??

Baby Roth

Remember this little cutie??

He's getting so big and is such a happy little guy!
