The Surge

i've been under general anesthesia for a couple surgeries. All having to deal with my face/mouth before too now that i think about it. Anyway, they always say there's a risk you'll die from it and always make sure you're aware of it. So if i'm not blogging anymore i'll see you later.

But yeah, tomorrow's the big day. i kind of miss being in the AF for this one part. i never had to worry about insurance or paying bills for medical/dental care before. Oh well, i can't let this growth become too monstrous. It's already like 2.5 cm in diameter. Pretty soon the tumor will be the host and i'll be the tumor on it. Hey, if Lebron James can have one then i can too. i'll try and post fun pictures. i told the doc that i wanted a picture of it, and he said ok. Maybe i'll ask for pics of the procedure too. As an aspiring dentist w/ a future education in surgery in the face.... Who better to view than my own exposed self?

i can't believe it's the summer already. i'm happy, but i've gotta finish up all my dent school applications and stuff still. Sucks because all those people on the semester system are already all over it and i'm just now getting off. Ok, this is boring... i'll try to keep from posting a bunch of school/studying nonsense over the summer.

One bonus: i get a prescription for vicodin. i think drugs are interesting. i don't get how people get addicted to pain meds though. i'm no House, but when i had percocet for my eye surgery i just liked it at the time for its ability to put me to sleep. i didn't care about taking it after a couple of days. , but it's not like i really needed it for sleep once the pain from the surgery was gone. i can sleep anywhere, anytime. That's my super power.

Ok, i've gotta finish editing a few pictures to turn in and then i'm done with the stinking LLU graduation. i would vent on FB, but my "employer" is my FB friend. This had to be potentially the worst photography experience of my life so far and totally turned me off to taking pictures professionally. i guess now i understand why photographers charge so dang much. i took 3800+ pictures over the course of 4 events for LLU school of medicine graduation weekend. It was grueling. It wasn't like i was taking pics in Iraq or anything, but it was just an overall unpleasant combination of a long shooting schedule, hot weather, and time-consuming post-processing. i don't want to talk about compensation since i almost would've done the graduation itself for free, but yeah..... i'm the worst! i complain about my employer on my blog.

Oh well, and so it goes.
