5% Novacane Blood Content, I think the legal limit is .08%

This is post is mostly because I realized I didn't tell anyone I was getting surgery today and I don't want people freaking out. So since I got my braces of the Dr. Havner suggested a fiberosis or something like that. Basically they go in and cut the fibers connecting my teeth to the bone so the teeth don't move back. Well it didn't sound like a big deal and I didn't want to really get anyone worried, and I really didn't think about it. So about half way through play practice today I go to Dr. Shimoda's office all the way out in Ken Caryl. (note I couldn't drive myself because I am still too inexperienced at the interstate, but it actually turned out for the better that I didn't drive myself) I walk in and sit down for like 30 seconds before they take me in. I sit in a chair too small for me and was sad that they didn't have a movie screen like havner's office does to distract people. So I am sitting there wondering what kind of anastetic they were going to use and I noticed on the counter, needles. So I figured it was novacane and I hate novacane. Actually it is more of the needles I hate. Anyways Dr. Shimoda comes in explains the procedure and how they have to cut 360 degrees around the tooth and then cut the fibers. He also says that normally they only do like 1-2 maybe 3 teeth, well they were doing 7 on me. Of course that just makes me feel wonderful. He asks me if I have any questions (what am I suppose to ask? Oh um should I open my mouth? I don't know anything) and says, "okay lets begin." So they recline the chair and hand me some sunglasses and begins the numming. I HATE NEEDLES. So he starts working it into my gums which hurts A Lot. Then I feel the wierd numbing sensation take effect. He had explained that the numbing process would probably take as long as the actual procedure. So he continues to put shot and shot after shot of novacane into my mouth. Now for those of you who don't know, novacane has an adrenaline part to it, so when you get a lot of it in your blood it starts making your heart fun faster. Well to say the least I felt like I was going to have a heart attack because my heart was going about 3000 miles per hour. I think he noticed that I was really nervous and said "The novacane has an adrenaline drug in it, so you might feel your heart race." oh well thank you for telling me now. In an effort to calm myself (since there was no movie to distract me) I started running through the Chronicles of Narnia plots and story lines in my head. (yes I know I am a nerd but it helped) finally after something like 10-12 shots of novacane they began the procedure. He continued to ask me questions through out the whole procedure, I wanted to say "I can't say anything because you have a bunch of needles and metal objects poking around my mouth!" I think it was actually more to keep me awake which really didn't work because I kept on falling asleep and then would wake up when I felt pressure. Then about half way through he decided that I had not gotten enough novacane and continued to give me about 3-4 more shots. He cut the fibers, and all it really felt like was a scraping on my teeth. I must say I had some crazy ideas run through my head. Once again my heart rate jumped. Finally it was over and they brought my dad in. I started feeling my face and I realized that it felt like rock or that someone else's face was one mine and I was touching them not me. This was the only cool part and I was fascinated by touching my face. (note I think that the drugs had a small effect on my state of consciousness) I got in the car and was out. I awoke that the house, and then went up to my/shane's room and fell asleep on the bed with a towel under my head so I wouldn't drool all over the pillow. I woke up 3 1/2 hours later with a greater control of my facial functions. For dinner I had peaches, yogurt and strawberry jelly. I had noticed that because of the novacane and adrenaline I was very easily agitated and didn't want to drive and didn't feel that great so I wasn't able to go out with my small group or see laura's game. I think Connor and Thomas were sort of confused when they called and asked why I wasn't there to hear that I had had surgery. I really didn't feel like discussing it then so I sort of just hung up (I was afriad of getting angery because of the novacane) and later realized that they must be pretty confused. All in all it is not to bad, my gums are kinda sore and I think the total count was somethingl like 14 shots. I should be fine by tomorrow. Peace out.
