Well, I will have to say the worst part has past. I think my mouth was in more pain before I had them taken out because my whole lower jaw was shifting around. Now the discomfort is located where the wisdom teeth were. I made the mistake last night of spitting (which apparently you aren't supposed to do) And that was very painful!!! But during the procedure, since I chose local anesthesia, I was feeling pain instead of pressure because I have a high tolerance for anesthesia. It was only 20 minutes before it started to wear off. So they loaded me up pretty good the third time around. It was more of a relief when they pulled them out, because the pressure on the other teeth was gone. I was numb until about midnight. I woke up feeling sore, but not in pain. It hurts to swallow though, water, my own saliva...and I am sooo hungry! I have only been taking the Ibuprofen and Amoxicillin, 3 pills of each every day (one in the morning, one at noon, and one at night). I took half of a Vicoden last night, but that didn't do anything the Ibuprofen hadn't already done, so I don't need or want to take it. I hate meds.

I hear horror stories of having your wisdom teeth taken out. I know everyone is different, but it wasn't that bad. The pain was tolerable, except the part where I made the mistake of spitting!!! YOW!!!!

Thanks for being awesome! You all are the best!
