This poor kid got her wisdom teeth out. I didn't think it would be so..... dramatic. She went in just fine, but I think they may have released her a little soon. They wheeled her out to the car and we manhandled her into the back seat. Halfway home she suddenly realized she was in the car and had no clue how she got there. Poor thing was so disoriented. The last thing she remembered was sitting in the chair getting the iv and now she was in the car.
I had expected to get her home and park her on the couch. I expected her to lounge the day away watching movies. But nooooo. She insisted she could walk just fine. She roamed drunkenly around the house. She swayed dangerously, but kept upright. She demanded to go outside to "see people". She spent some time making hilarious drawings. She talked to the dog. Then she restlessly criticized everything I tried to get her to watch on tv. She briefly rallied when we put on YouTube with Disney songs and I almost died laughing as she raucously sang along. And then she cried because she didn't know all the words. And then she was just sad.
It was a long and emotional afternoon. The meds finally wore off, and she finally slept a bit. And then she was tired and cranky and sore for the next few days. But she survived! And now it is done.
