Vicodin here I come!

Ugh got to the dentist for my appointment at 10am to get all four of my wisdom teeth removed. Waited around for a bit and signed a form acknowledging all the cautions of anesthesia.. including death. I got called in and went in the little closed off surgery room where the nurse put two sensors on my chest, a sensor on my stomach(???), a heartbeat sensor on my finger, and strapped the arm for the IV onto the chair. It was wonderful hearing the heartbeat sensor beeping loudly and fast! Which made the surgeon try to calm me down and comfort me which wasn't working. He took out the IV and I looked away and he inserted it and taped it down..
While I was watching some show about Zebras the surgeon injected me with "something to relax me" which felt warm going in and just made my head feel tingly and seemed to relax my muscles. Then he got ready whatever he had to knock me out and told me he would tell me before it happens. So in it went instead feeling cold for about a minute then I just knocked out.. no warning.. no feeling sleepy just out in a flash..
Woke up with my mouth stuffed full of cotton and no sensors, IV, or apron thingy.
The nurse helped me walk out to my moms car since I was like a drunk trying to walk... and that's it now I'm at home in pain not able to eat :\
