My wisdom teeth have been removed.

And now my mouth hurts.

It hurts to open it, and chewing on food, even something like bread, feels like eating nails.

I'm taking painkillers that make me dizzy and they still hurt.

So yeah. This sucks.

The only bright side is that I can eat lots of ice cream with the excuse that it doesn't hurt to eat (it really dosn't)
In before Stale.

    I hated getting my wisdom teeth removed. It was fine until about halfway through my Frosty when my mouth started hurting and I didn't eat for a couple days.

    Mine didn't hurt, but they wouldn't stop bleeding, it sucked.

    For the first day I just laid on the couch and watched the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

    Kinda funny, I stumbled home after it being done, and then took a long nap on the guest bed.

    I woke up and left. It wasn't until hours later I learned that I had bled all over it.

    I've had nine teeth pulled. 1 when I was kid due to cavity, four wisdoms, and all four first-premolars when I had braces to make room for the rest of my teeth to move around.

    The day after i got my wisdom teeth removed I bought myself a smoothie because that's what I did every day. It was only on the first excruciating suck on the straw that I remembered the dire advice I was given.

    I used my exacto knife to make a little strawspoon and all was better.

    I had very bad wisdom teeth, but my docter was pretty ace, the surgery went perfectly, had no pain after, and the the wounds healed quickly. So now I have a bunch of left over T3 pills that I can take at my leisure to fuck myself up.

    man i love getting put out for surgery. I've had it done two times, once when I was five for tonsils and then for wisdom teeth. When I was a kid they asked me what my favorite ninja turtle was. I got to the point of saying Donatel- and then I saw tiny foot clan ninjas climbing down tiny ropes from the overhead light. I had time to say oh nooooo foot clan and then I passed out.

    I didn't get knocked out for my wisdom teeth, just got shot up with a bunch of novacaine. It started wearing off by the last tooth, but before I could say anything they'd cracked it and pulled out the pieces of it and I just said "fuck it" and didn't bother getting another shot.

    In the end this was a bad choice because the pain made me tense up a bit and with the pressure it takes to break wisdom teeth I ended up getting a pretty sore jaw.

    I wasn't affected or spaced out by the drugs at all.

    It's kind of funny. They stuck the IV in me, and here I was casually talking to the dentist and nurses.

    Then I ask when we're going to start.

    They tell me they had already finished it.

    Yeah, I just got the novavaine as well. I didn't actually need any of the vicoden that the dentist provided me with, either. I did take one for the hell of it though and was heartily disappointed with the effects. I had heard some pretty wonderful things.

    I had these terrible allergies when I went in for mine

    So later on in the day, after the surgery, whilst sitting in bed reading Harry Potter and finding it utterly convincing, I go to blow my nose. There is so much gunk in there I need two tissues; one for each nostril.

    I blow my left nostril. Snot. Throw tissue away.

    I blow my right nostril. Perhaps two liquid ounces of black mucus and dried blood. Stare in an approximation of shock.

    And that's the story of how they punctured my sinus cavity for a medically superfluous operation and caused me really aggravating problems with my nose lasting almost two years now.

    When my wisdom teeth were coming through I had to get an x-ray, which looked something similar to this.
    xrayimpacted.jpg
    I then had to make an appointment with my dentist so he could look at that x-ray and give me his informed medical opinion that teeth probably shouldn't look all sideswaze like that and they probably maybe needed to be taken out. He then referred me to a specialist oral surgeon and made an appointment for his initial consultation at the next available time, which was in 3 months time.

    For the low fee of $200 after private health insurance, I got to visit the surgeon's office so I could show him my x-ray. After several seconds of careful deliberation he explained to me his specialist expert judgment. Yes, in fact those teeth, the ones on the end that are pointing in the wrong directions, did need to be removed and it probably wouldn't hurt to do it sooner rather than later. I booked in for his next available surgical appointment, which was in 6 months time.

    Anyway the surgery went well. It was the first time I'd been under a general. Woke up a couple of hours later and went home. Not too much pain, bled for a while. I tried to watch Orson Welles' The Third Man while still under the after effects of the anesthetic and failed miserably. Cruised through a few days on mersyndol and was eating steak trouble free by the end of the week.
