Last week was Kelsey's second scheduled wisdom teeth removal. The day before the appointment she was pumping the fluids like a maniac in an effort to not repeat the previous weeks nightmare. I made her a delicious breakfast...
The day of her appointment she had two Valiums in her system and we were ready to get this day done. The scene was a little deja vu....
Failed attempts at getting an IV her right arm, sent the Dr. to the other arm while the nurse cleaned up the first arm.
After several needle attempts to the second arm he decided it wasn't going to happen. Apparently she has worse veins than a heroin addict (he has worked on many addicts from the prison and has had better luck with them). His plan B was to give her a local, BUT with her heart rate so fast and erratic he said he couldn't safely proceed or she would surely go into cardiac arrest.
After multiple apologies we were sent home with the hopes of a successful Plan C coming together. We stopped at In N Out for some lunch for this pin pricked girl covered in band aids.
Whoever said having your wisdom teeth out isn't that bad? Kelsey begs to differ.

Holy Moly! That poor girl. Hope they can get something figured out for her sake.
