5:30 PM and I'm mostly awake and clear. That was one of the oddest experiences in my life. They put me on nitrous oxide when I first got there, to help me relax first. I really didn't think it was working until she got the IV in me. And before they even started the "medicine that would make me forget everything," I started to slip into unconsciousness.

I remember the nurse and/or doctor saying that one of their earlier patients today said it felt like he was back in college (drinking). I laughed and agreed, it sort of did. And then I was out.

At some point I felt a little uncomfortableness (is that a word?) and think I made some wimpering noises. Near the end, when I was starting to come out of it I could hear them talking and hear/feel the machines.

Next thing I know Jeff is walking in. I don't remember putting my coat on, but I vaguely remember walking out to the car because the nurse came with us. And then we were home. After showing Jeff where my insurance card and drivers license were so he could get my prescription filled, I fell asleep.

I only woke up one other time. Jeff wanted me to eat so I could take the medicine, but all I wanted to do (and did do) was go back to sleep. I got up at 4 and had some soup, oyster crackers, the red pill :) and some cheesecake.

My face and tongue are still numb, especially the left side (2 teeth left, 1 right). I just hope the pain pill kicks it because I'm having a little discomfort with the bottom side. I don't think I'm too puffy yet. I've kept ice on it for a while now. No bruising so far either.

-Oh, and for those who want to know, no uncontrollable drooling or projectile vomiting.
