Wisdom Teeth: Piece of Cake

You all know that I was worried about my wisdom teeth coming out. I didn't know if I would be allergic to anesthesia. I didn't want to end up with an infection or other complications. All the horror stories out there!

I've got to say... the whole thing was a piece of cake. There were a few times when it was getting close to my next pill that it would really freakin' hurt, but I would put ice on it for twenty minutes until the vicoden kicked in and I was fine again. I hate vicoden though because I was so tired ALL THE TIME. Not everyone has the same side effects, but I do not understand how the character of Dr. House is supposed to function. I would pass out after that many! I mean, I already had a hard time staying awake with just one at a time!

There was no swelling at all. I healed perfectly fine. Pushing water in the holes with a syringe felt super weird the first few times, but it kept them clean. There are still creases where my teeth were, but they are all sealed up and I don't have to push the water in there anymore. The whole thing went really well. Worried for nothing.

Stupid people and their horror stories.
