Grant me wisdom

On Wednesday I had my wisdom teeth removed.  I remember being a little nervous before starting, after all it was my first surgery I've ever had.  But I digress.  After they put the gas on me I was just sitting there, and then I realized that just sitting there staring at the ceiling was putting me to sleep faster.  So I decided to not keep my focus on any one thing for to long.  After all, why not challenge myself, and fight the gas.  Never-the-less the doctor came in and the put an IV in me with some extra sedative power.  Not to give up I kept fighting.  How long I actually lasted I don't know.  After the IV was put in my memory gets foggy...  I can only guarantee that I was awake for about a minute after that.  From here it gets really foggy.  I don't remember waking up, and I'm more convinced that the recovery room I remember isn't real, but is something I made up to try and fill in my the gaps in my memory.  I don't remember getting into my car, and up until my mother reminded me, I didn't remember that I was in excruciating pain at that point.  And I only remember the fact that it had brought me to tears, but have no memory of the actual pain that I felt.  My surgery was done at 2:00 pm, and I really don't remember anything before 6:00 pm that day.

One of my pastors had joked before my surgery that "I should try and keep some wisdom"  I hope I did, and if not, may God Grant me some more.
