Chemicals

I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday. I consider myself extremely fortunate: for some reason, I only developed the top two wisdom teeth. So not only did I have half as many teeth extracted, but having the top teeth removed is far less painful and heals faster. After the sedative wore off, I was in almost no pain at all.

Unfortunately, though, I think I lost quite a bit of blood. Every time I’ve lost any significant quantity of blood, I’ve gotten sick immediately afterwards.

So I’m sick.

I slept until noon today, got up for an hour and a half, and then slept for another two and a half hours. It’s about 12:30am, and I’ve really only been awake for ten hours today. That hasn’t stopped me from taking a load of chemicals, though.

Over the course of these ten hours, I have consumed:

Chemical Purpose Dosage
Acetaminophen Analgesic 1500 mg
Hydrocodone Analgesic 7.5 mg
Chrlorpheniramine Maleate Antihistamine 2 mg
Pseudophredrine Hydrochloride Nasal Decongestant 60 mg
Caffeine You know what caffeine is. 40 mg

So… I’m kinda drugged up right now. It’s a little hard to focus. I think that the antihistamine is kicking in just as the Vicodin is wearing off. I’ll be trying to get some sleep soon.

Oh, and can you do me a favor? If the paramedics ask about me, just refer them to the preceding list.

Thanks.
