note to self for morning of wisdom teeth removal

[alexseanchai]

NO EATING. NO DRINKING. A sip of water with morning meds is fine, the surgeon said, but that's it till after surgery. Also, be double sure to brush teeth.

Short-sleeve shirt and sweatpants. First is required by pre-operative instruction sheet, second is advisable due to expecting to sleep the rest of the day.

Smallest purple suitcase and purple shoulder bag are packed. Bring them. Toiletries/medications are not packed. Pack them and bring them. Bring pillow. Bring laptop. Make sure Kindle is in purse.

Transgender Rite of Ancestor Elevation first bit before leaving. Purification before and after.

From when I got my wisdom teeth out, I remember going in, talking to them while they were putting anesthesia needle in my vein, then being walked out to the car. And then sitting on the couch and going in and out of consciousness with the TV on. Therefore I second the advisable sweatpants for sleeping the rest of the day.

yup!

I feel like I have nothing to add advice-wise, as you seem to have it covered but: good luck!

Thanks!

(Perishing of thirst. And it's only going to get worse between now and when I am put under for the surgery.)
