Recovery Ramble...

Oh, my little wisdom tooth came out just dandy on friday morning. The worst part was being hooked up to all the tubes and IV. If i ever get another surgery I will deffinatly sign up for local anesthesia rather than general- general has had me knocked out for the last two days. But i woke up from a nap today and feel great-the sleep cloud has lifted, my jaw feels saftely at bay with only a few advil (hated the vicatin they gave me) and I have been buisy making shopping lists and eating soft squishy foods that I would eat on any normal day. I actually like soft squishy foods in general :)

So how does this little opporation effect my trip to Scotland...it doesn'. And thats the point. Now I can depart with peace of mind that my wisdom tooth wont one morning rear its ungly self into my sinuses and put my limited coverage student international health insurance to the test with out a devoted mother to make me cheesy scrambled eggs or missing out on something great...like a castle.

I have decided I want to go to as many monestaries as possible while I'm there and meet a monk. I have also started thinking about some of the things that I will miss while I'm gone. I wont be able to road trip to Canada to scalp tickts for the 2010 winter games. I wont be here for my boyfriends birthday, my birthday, my dads birthday, or my four year anaversary with Alex. And i wont get to eat peanut butter.
However, I am still more excited than ever and can not believe I am actually getting to fulfull this dream :)

Enough ramblings...it must be the drugs :)
cheers, Amy
