So I finally took the plunge on Monday and got all 4 wisdom teeth ripped out of my head. Not the most pleasant experience, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I was honestly more afraid of the needle numbing my mouth then actual teeth coming out. And I totally went for the gas. That stuff is weird. Makes you feel light headed and kind of tired. However, I wasn't really laughing. So the first night was probably the worst. It took a few hours to get all the feeling back into my face. That was pretty interresting. It feels like you have a really fat face. I would just sit there and poke my chin but couldn't feel a thing. Through the whole thing I never really felt any pain. My jaw is sore like a bruise, and it's a little stiff to open, but I've had no pain. I took half of a vicodin and ibuprofin that first night in case I did need it, and I wasn't sure how it would affect me. Turns out I didn't really need it. Just kept taking ibu just in case. My momma and Lindsey took good care of me. And I probably would have passed out in the bathroom at one point if mom wasn't there to catch me. I just got really dizzy and my ears sarted to ring really loud. Weird. I've never felt it that bad before. Well I'm glad to report that it no longer takes me 45 min to eat a muffin, I ate pizza(in very small pieces) the second night and I don't look like a chipmunk. That makes me really happy. Beat that teeth!!!

Totally not fun I know I had all four of mine pulled awhile ago. i was put to sleep and that is what scared me the most I was worried I would never wake up again, but I did. Glad you are feeling better and I hate the numb face feeling
I'M SO SORRY I WASN'T THERE! I just finished my play, so I've been out of commission, but I HATED getting my wisdom tooth out (I only had one). You will get better. Let me know when I can bring you a jamba.
