What you are looking at here is a nice ribeye steak which happens to be pulling double duty as an ice pack for my face. My wisdom teeth came out Monday morning. The surgery went amazingly well which is a huge relief considering all of the horrible experiences so many of my friends have been through with their extractions. I thought I just closed my eyes for a second and before I knew it I was waking up to a mouthful of gauze. The swelling was minimal. Brad said it just looked like I had gained 5 pounds (not sure how to take that). I didn’t have much pain either and ended up not needing to take any pain meds. Eating is a little tricky, but I’m healing nicely. Now I can’t wait to get my new retainer and get my pearly whites all straightened out again. My orthodontist appointment is scheduled for the beginning of July.
I can’t believe you went ahead with it!! I’m glad you didn’t have a bad experience. Luckily those suckers don’t grow back!
Glad things went well…. better than mine at least! I’m a wuss, too…..
Youch! Glad it went okay! Getting mine out was awful–I was awake (numb, but awake)–it was traumatizing!
