So I just had 3 teeth forcibly removed from my mouth...
Bye, wisdom teeth. Hello massive quantities of blood!
My mouth is still numb as fuck but at least I got the day off work. I can't eat real food for a week tho which sucks. I'm limited to soups and yogurt and the like.
Here's something totally not gross:
Since it was a local anesthesia, I got to hear them crack one of my teeth.
Several times!
They gave me a bottle of codeine for the pain, but I'm not a pussy and since I won't be using any of it, I'm going to sell the pills on ebay. That's still legal, right? I'll update this post with the links shortly.
Ok, now it's your turn to tell me your wisdom teeth/other surgery stories.

I had that done a few months ago, luckily I only had two and only on my bottom jaw
But apparently they had to remove one, wait a week, then remove the other because "we can't numb both sides of the jaw" which effectively doubled the length of time until I could eat real food again
Oh yeah, and I didn't take the Oxycodine that they prescribed to me for the "pain" of having stitches in my mouth. I was like "Whatever, this ain't so bad."
I resisted the urge to sell the meds too because I am a moral person.

I still have empty sockets where they used to be
That's a crock of shit.
I had both sides of mine done in the same sitting.

Damn man, it was the one time you could legally enjoy some controlled narcotics and you pass it up. Now you'll always be wondering what you missed.

they gave me vicodin for my wisdom teeth recovery period, that shit is no joke at all
I kept wanting to sleep but every time I closed my eyes I got the sensation you get when you lean back in a chair a little too far and then just barely catch yourself, only it was on an endless loop
it was miserable

also a simple meal that you can eat is mashed potatoes
get a bunch of potatoes, boil them and smash them up and heap it into a bowl
pour a bunch of instant gravy over it and get eating
My dad had 5 wisdom teeth removed. They had to cut under his jaw line to get the fifth one.
One of those was a throw back to the time of Moses when everyone apparently lived to be 400 years old according to the bible. Wisdom wisdom teeth as it were.
also I applaud your Klingon-like approach to pain medication.
Q'apla!

I had mine out when I was 17 and for pain medication my old man got me fucked up on bourbon instead of the Tylenol 3. What a fantastic man. My mother was all pissed, but he felt like any man that just had 4 teeth forcibly ripped from his jaw deserved to have a few drinks.
haha suckers codeine is over the counter here in small doses and usually/always in combination with other meds such as ibuprofen or paracetamol but that shit can be filtered out easy

No I won't.
"Oooh I'm all loosey-goosey! My brain feels like it has regressed several years! Wooo!"
That pretty-much sum it up? Narcotics are boring. I just spent my time-off over the next two days playin video games I never have the time to play normally.

Come Overwatch with meeeee
they weren't wisdom teeth
and i had to walk like a mile home after
But apparently they had to remove one, wait a week, then remove the other because "we can't numb both sides of the jaw" which effectively doubled the length of time until I could eat real food again

Woo.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
hi5. This is my situation. Enjoy your pain, suckas
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
I will not, thank you.
hi5
Every time I hear someone bitch about getting their wisdom teeth out I sit there and grin like a crazy person.
Not bloody likely.
I'm not even going to look, never mind enjoy.

also: opiates make me throw up, but it only lasted like a day anyway, so woot city

your lack of wisdom [tiny]teeth[/tiny] comes as no surprise

They gave me fucking Tylenol :x
I hate my cheap dentist
They're just teeth!
With bits of gum still stuck to them and covered in my blood.

I requested a local for a couple reasons:
1) It's cheaper
2) I'm not afraid of shots
3) I could remember the conversations I had with the ortho.
4) His assistant was kinda hot and busty so I got some faceboob action.
EDIT: i also apparently have a big enough head that I'll never need to get them out. All that early wisdom must've swelled my head....
Eh, you've just evolved faster than the rest of us. Congrats.
also: i had a hole in my sinus cavity as a result of a tooth breaking through in there, so all i could smell for a week was blood
#4 was just a stroke of luck as I had requested the local a week ago during my consultation.
^5 my good man.
