I will survive!

So.... Wisdom tooth extraction was easy! Now, we wait for the pain to start. Hopefully it doesn't. Oh, and Smurfchick, I got to keep my teeth! Woohoo!

So, anyway, going out to get Vicodin soon. I'll see if I need it. I just munched (choked on?) some Advil, and we'll see what those do first. Think happy pain-free thoughts for me. :)

I doubt that a phone conversation between you and I would be very productive.

Amusing as hell, though....

I'm glad things seem to have gone well. Enjoy the vicodin. =)

Get better soon!!

Just how messed up IS your talking, anyway?

I have a bit of a lisp. But that's likely from the swollen tongue and NOT the metal.

Just remember: no sucking!

Because I can tell you right now that dry sockets SUCK.

Vicodin is nice. Take it from someone who knows. :) Nice until you start feeling better and want to do something but you're still in pain so you take the drugs and go all woozy... ;)

And yes, no straws or ciggies, if you smoke. I've not experienced what happens if you use those things, but it sounds awful and I try hard to follow my doc's advice. It's usually a good idea. :)

Do you really want to know? Because I know...
Like, in the up close and personal way.

I am so damned envious. They let you have your teeth? *seething with envy*

Can I have one? Just one? I'll make a necklace out of it, and when people ask me, I can say, "That's my friend Wiley's wisdom tooth."

Please? Good luck. Hopefully you will be like me and have it not hurt enough to even need painkillers. Hope!

COOL!

OK, all you experts...

How do you manage to swallow without creating suction and sucking all your clots loose? :(

Okay, you guys are making me all scared, because I've seen XRays of my teeth, and my wisdom teeth are at 45 degree angles, and will *definiately* have to come out. And I don't want to go through it all, what with all these horror stories!
