After reading about poor Jose getting his wisdom teeth out yesterday, Liz and Debbie both sent me the link to this video of a 7-year-old coming off anesthesia. It’s hilarious. Jose should be thankful he was not this funny, otherwise I definitely would have been forced to put him on YouTube.
As for Jose, all is well. The pain meds are kicking butt, as he says he feels virtually no pain. He’s a little sore, the corners of his mouth are bruised, and he’s starting to look like Richard Nixon/Marlon Brando — but only on one side of his face so far.
He gave me permission to post these photos, which he remembers telling me to take, but doesn’t remember me actually taking. (Weird.) He says he only remembers a few flashes from 9:00 yesterday morning when he went in to 5:30 yesterday when he woke up as if he’d just been asleep all day. Here he is just after I got him home:
Here he is typing on his computer, telling me what kind of ice cream and pudding he wanted me to get, because I totally couldn’t understand what he was saying with all that gauze in his mouth.
And here he is just a few minutes ago. As you can see, he is looking much better today. 🙂

Thank you for that video! That was the best laugh I’ve had in a while.
That is too funny. Poor kiddo. The best part – “you have four eyes…”

Man, that makes me even more glad I don’t have wisdom teeth. That doesn’t look fun.
