One long day

As you all know I had my jaw injected yesterday. I've decided to approach this post a little differently and I hope you all like it. 

Let me walk you through my day yesterday...

5:00 a.m. - Woke up (I always thought 5 a.m. was a myth...)
5:30 a.m. - On the road to Hershey (There was soo much traffic.. who would have thought?) 
7:00 a.m. - Arrived at the hospital (It took my mom and me about 20 mins. to find a parking spot)
7:30 a.m. - Arrived at the Same Day Unit.  This is where I changed into a hospital gown, peed in a cup, and had stuff about me entered into a computer.
8:00 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. - Anesthesia (it took them five needle sticks until they could start my IV. I have incredibly small veins)
8:30 a.m. - Procedure (the doctor used a CT machine to guide where the needle needed to be placed to inject me)
9:00 a.m. - Recovery room (I was fast asleep, but I had my mom write down the times so I could make this blog post.  Apparently I swear like a sailor when I wake up from anesthesia.)
10:00 a.m. - Woke up and the nurse gave me a percocet (I was, and still am, in an incredible amount of pain so they gave me a pain killer).  Then I went back to sleep.
1:00 p.m. - Threw up (Oh the lovely side effects of anesthesia). 
1:30 p.m. - Finally got to go home (What an incredibly long and exhausting day for both my mom and me)
3:30 p.m. - Arrived home, ate some mac and cheese and slept.
