I remember waking up after having mine taken out by Dr. McGough, knowing that he had done something, thinking that it wasn’t good, but having no idea at first what it was. He was in a different office back then, so I didn’t have a window to look out.

I’ll have to talk to your dad about whether you said anything funny. John, who is normally not a talker, talked nonstop for about 2 hours after his wisdom teeth were pulled. He was hungry and wanted to stop at every fast food place we passed on the way home. He really did believe at that point that he could break a four minute mile. I probably could have gotten all sorts of info out of him that he would normally not share. But I did the ethical thing and just let him talk without asking him any questions. Yes, the drugs do wear off eventually and the fun ends.

I am seriously tempted to videotape Heather’s antics coming out of anesthesia, but I won’t. Hopefully she’ll enjoy the first couple hours too, before it all hits. I already have pudding and jello mixes in the pantry. I’ll need to stock up on the ice cream so I can make her some chocolate shakes. We’ll let you know how it all goes!
