Wisdom Teeth Removal In Review

So I had the procedure done yesterday. All four wisdom teeth were taken out. I was doing fine nerve wise until we actually got into the parking lot of the office. But it really wasn't that bad. Well, at least the surgery part. They put me to sleep and all I felt was them putting the IV in. I was probably out within five minutes. When I woke up, they were all done. They let me rest for a few more minutes and then I went home.

The hardest part has got to be after the surgery. I was extremely swollen for a little while, but by this morning I had feeling in all parts of my mouth which makes it much easier to eat :D . Unfortunately, the loss of numbness in your mouth also means the pain is much more acute. I think there must have been complications on the right side. The right side is very sore while the left side is hardly sore. I wear this ice pack around my head to help the pain and the swelling. I am now on antibiotics and pain medicine.

So in conclusion, I am doing well. Thanks for all the prayers. I am not sure I would recommend this, but I guess it is necessary. Also not sure whether or not it is easier to have all four taken out at one or one or two at a time. Anyways. Guess that's all for now.

Less Teeth Tomorrow

So.....

Tomorrow I am having wisdom teeth taking out. And although I have heard it goes really well and the pain is not that bad. I am a little nervous. Never really had surgery of any kind before and the oral surgeon part of the dentist's title just makes it sound ominous. They're putting me to sleep so it shouldn't be too bad. It's a 2:30 in the afternoon tomorrow and prayers would be appreciated. One of my main concerns is looking like a chipmunk. I guess that's expected but so not looking forward to it. I think I'll stay in the house until my cheeks unswell. Anyways, that's what's going on tomorrow and CHIPMUNK will let you know how it goes later.
