I hate waiting rooms

My mom had surgery today. Nothing major, but some pretty extensive oral surgery. I had the same thing done 2 years ago so I knew what she was in for. The surgery was about 2 hours long but my dad and I got some good bonding time in the waiting room I guess. We had about a 45 minute drive back to their house afterwards and I sat in the back seat with her. We had to get her a smoothie so she could take one of her pain pills and the poor thing couldn't feel her mouth so it just dripped all down her chin. She just looked pitiful. I eventually just had to feed her. Luckily I didn't have to work today so I got to go with them. She's not supposed to talk for the next week! When I had mine done I was all bruised and swollen for several weeks--not fun! I remember having to go get my bridal portraits done when it was still hard to smile. My sister had to have the same thing done when she was a teenager and my nephew is having to have it done too! Talk about BAD dental genes!
