That was an experience! I've never had nitrous before - definitely lucky in that way that I haven't had to have anything major done. Well, I had my wisdom teeth out, but I was completely under for that so I didn't have nitrous then I don't think. I think it could be really overwhelming for a patient to get a high concentration of nitrous all at once, but if you get to the right concentration it is pretty relaxing!
Kate, the "prereq" for nitrous was getting shots in the mouth which was not fun. Nitrous was much better! We have to put IV's in each other in two weeks, and I am not excited about that. I don't think it will be that nerve-wracking for me to do it to someone else, but I am not excited to be someone else's guinea pig! Or pin cushion??? :) I'm sure it'll hurt some, but I'm sure I'll survive.
On a different note, tonight we had one of my classmates and her husband over to play cards. We have a pretty easy week at school, so it's nice to be able to relax a little! It was a good excuse to get the kitchen and living room tidied up too. (Thanks honey :) ). We played 500, which is not a game I grew up with. I am so used to Pinochle that I often play the wrong card because I have a different mindset. However, the girls still won the first game so that is pretty great! The boys won the second game - I blame it on being tired... :) Nah, they are very good competition. :)
Hope you all have a great rest of the week!

I don't think I would be offering up my arm to someone else to poke and prod. Much rather choose nitrous. That stuff is great! :) Dad took out two of my wisdom teeth with it-I enjoyed the whole procedure immensely (or so I've been told). Maybe I'll do that for the other two if I have to have them out.
