T3: Rise (and extraction) of the Wisdom Teeth.

Wow... I'm feeling really shitty.

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed yesterday. Was kinda nervous going in because i wanted to simply use novocaine, but they told me that it would be better to go under using a sedative IV because of the number of teeth being removed and that they had to remove the bone from my mandible that was still on top of them. SO they had to knock my ass out. The top ones had pushed through the maxilla, so most to the swelling and pain is on the bottom. All i can say is... i don't look good fat. Not likely to happen, as i can't really eat much beyond jello, pudding, soup and over cooked pasta. I tried to eat fluffly pancakes this morning. I ate 1 1/2 in 37 minutes. They were stone cold by then. I didn't bother to finish the third one... The drugs are also fucking with my sleep-wake cycles. And i need to take 2-3 Tylenol 3's just to knock the pain out. After about half an hour i'm out like a light. I am interested to see how i make it through work tomorrow. I didn't think it would fuck me up this bad... i should have taken all days off work this week.
While the outlook for tomorrow's work day looks like shit, there is an upside. MY VISA CAME!!!!
I now have no barriers to my australian adventure. I'll be picking up all the required stuff tomorrow and i'll be starting to get my shit sorted for my big move. I am now swimming with excitement and nervousness. So many questions and worries, but i cant wait to just max and relax and maybe, just maybe, get that last little bit of "party" out my system so i can properly commit to other aspects of my life and future (Not likely to happen). While i'm doing well in my program at school, i really want to be one of those guys who knows all the answers when a question is asked. When some one is putting names around for who should be working with which athletes, i want my name to come up first. always. ALWAYS! I don't like being second best.
Any way, maybe this will be what i need. I can get some more adventure out of my system, shred like mad, surf like crazy (Dan Boyle and i have plans to go surf the south east coast after the Narooma Jam for about a week and i'm super excited), see some new places, meet some new people (preferably nice stable monogamous nymphomaniac surfer girls), have some new experiences, then when i come home (or "if". Please see brackets after "meet some new people") i'll be able to better focus on school and getting the rest of my life aligned before i go off adventuring again... when ever that may be.
