So a few eventful things happened to us this week!
The biggest most eventful thing was that Kristen got her wisdom teeth out and that was most definitely a lot less hectic of a situation than we had imagined!
Kristen and I were a bit worried about the operation and so she asked me to give her a blessing the morning of, before going in for her operation. The blessing seemed to calm her down quite a bit and give her the strength to have the operation without being nervous. Dr. Porter who performed the operation was guided to do his work correctly and he was able to completely pull all four of Kristen's wisdom teeth in just about a half an hour!
Once the job was done, the assistant came out to get me from the waiting room. She told me to pull my car around to the patient pick-up location and then opened that door for me. She gave me a packet of information which also had the rinsing syringe and the ice packs for swelling. Once my wife was ready, we helped her out to the car and then headed over to Mom Erickson's to get a few more movies that we wanted to borrow. She let Kristen borrow Eclipse even though Mom had not yet watched it!
From there we headed home, where I made a smoothie for us both. After that Kristen took her first dose of medicine, and then we climbed back into bed to sleep a little more. Kristen seems to have recovered from the operation very well and without many problems. She has only been a little swollen and rosy cheeked, she hasn't had to take stronger medication than just her ibuprofen to kill the pain and her amoxicillin for protection from bacteria.
The other eventful thing was that today we went and had our annual McLaws extended family Christmas program! The dinner was an awesome feast! It was awesome to see Christian and Sterling Priday as well as all of the other uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandma and grandpa! And of course the highlight of the evening was when we did the white elephant gift exchange game! Kristen and I ended up scoring! I ended up with the Harkins loyalty t-shirt which entitles the wearer to a free medium popcorn for the full year of 2011! And Kristen got an ab work out set: DVD's and an AB balance board. Great presents! Can't wait for Christmas to really start this coming Saturday!
Well that about wraps up things for this week! It was a good and eventful one to be sure! This coming week I only have to work Monday-Thursday and work has given me Friday off as well as Saturday and Sunday! So that will be nice to have a shorter work week and just get to enjoy the time with family and friends and of course my lovely wife! :)
