Out with the Wisdom Teeth







When Stephanie got her wisdom teeth out it was easy to tell she was in nursing school! As they were getting her ready to sedate her she was asking questions and talking to the nurses trying to figure everything out!
Then when she woke up she was right back trying to figure out why one of her numbers was down and why this and that. The nurse couldn't believe how quickly she was asking questions when she woke up.
It seemed to be a pretty easy surgery and she was recovering quickly and went back to running, but then she got sick and she ended up having to stay down much longer than expected. I guess she learned that when the doctors and nursing say to take it easy so you'll recover quicker in the long run she learned to listen. She also learned that when nurses give instructions some patients assume they will be the exception to the rule and don't seem to listen. I don't know which lesson was more valuable.
