Oh that walking around for the first half hour is the greatest. I was cracking jokes, pointing and smiling, waving, honking the horn while my brother drove me home. Great plus I made sure to play it up. Old beaten jacket and a scarf hiding hald my face. Priceless I wish they took pictures of the whole deal. Well I do have two more…
Oh well I can still have my Percoset.
Maybe I will

Somewhere I've got a pic my mom took of me when I got home from the Dr….I'm passed out on the couch with my mouth wide open looking greasy as hell. Plus, I've got this wierd ice pack contraption tied around my head made out of a peir of pantyhose. Maybe my mom was just trying to make me look like an idiot???

I staggered out of the doc's office on the arm of my mother. I stumbled past some old guy who quickly got out of my way. He probably thought I was strung out on something. Actually I was…

had a couple of wisdom teeth removed last year.
didn't feel a thing. painless, problemless. went nightie night when the doc zapped me with the good stuff and woke up right after it was done. only used one vicadin. still got the rest of the bottle "just in case."

ohhhh…so that's why i didn't get to keep mine…it didn't occur to me to ask for them afterwards, but all 4 were impacted…
glad to hear other people's horror stories…everytime i try to freak people out about how horrible it was, they come back and are like i was fine the next day…i remember waking up in the doctor's office all disoriented and they were like your mom went to fill your prescription…she finally got back and i was starving so she got me a frosty from wendy's, which was running down my chin since i still couldn't feel anything…i proceeded to eat more stuff when i got home and then promptly threw up since it wasn't mixing well with the anesthia (sp?)…i got bruises on both sides and so swollen that when i went back to work after 5 days, they were like are you ok? you still look like a chipmunk…plus my mom had this crazy idea that i would get addicted to my painkillers so she didn't want to give them to me…also it's weird when you can feel one of the threads to your stitches hanging down in your month…

First of all,I got one dry socket. That hurt worse than anything. Don't let those bloodclots come out. Secondly, the doc had to drill at one of my partially impacted teeth, and left a stitch in. A few dayslater I sneezed real hard and the part of my cheek he stitched came out. My only consolodation is that I still have a few percodan.
