Yesterday, I had my two bottom wisdom teeth out (and last ones in my mouth). Kyle drove me over there, stayed with me for the hour and a half and drove me home. He stopped at the drug store to get the drugs and took care of me when we got home.
I stopped bleeding pretty quickly. The pain medication didn't kick in right away so I know I have a lot of pain but with the meds finally kicking in, the pain isn't too bad. I think I'm even going to go to the Ladies Day Retreat from 10-5 today. Someone else is driving because the pain meds make me sleepy. I'm going to ask someone in the car (of 3 other women) to keep an eye on me and if I look piqued and tired, to make sure I lay down a while. The only thing that will be hard to finding something soft to eat that I don't have to do much chewing. That makes me feel the pain even if the meds are working!
Do I still have wisdom? I'll let you be the judge! Last night between "sleeps" the song from Heehaw was going through my mind, the one titled: "Gloom, Despair, and Agony On Me. The song is so depressing I decided to come up with my own version. Here's the real song for those of you who are too young for Heehaw:
Gloom, despair, and agony on me.
Deep, dark depression; excessive misery
If it we're for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
This is my version (maybe still in the editing stage):
When a Holy Spirit burden comes on us
Deep intercession and praying is a must
When we seek the Father
Satan loses ground!
Takes worshiping Jesus and a lot of trust
You have to work to make it fit the song rhythm but it is a much better focus than the original one.
Well, what do you think? Did I gain more wisdom?
Random pictures of our pizza party. The first three are the ways Breanna and Karli spend time together! The woman wearing the scarf is our former neighbor when we were growing up, Norma, from the Philippines. Ben looks so sad because he had just found out he was laid off from work at the end of his workday that day. Join me in praying that God provide for him and Tami so they can provide for Lindsey and Anthony. Tami has a job now so they aren't totally without income.
Jezra and Kyle set up a dorm room in our extra bedroom for the summer. They set up the bunk beds and their computers in their room just like a dorm except we wouldn't let them plug in the fridge and microwave. Too much electricity use!
The kids used their "wheels" for a race down the hill near our house. We had a great time. After we did the race, we all got our bikes and road to The Chief for homemade ice cream. (Thanks, Sherrie, for letting us borrow your bike so Amber could go with us!)
