Wisdom Teeth, Part 2

I have my consultation with the oral surgeon regarding my wisdom teeth tomorrow. I also scheduled the actual surgery for Friday, February 6. This way I'll only have to take one day off and have the weekend to recover. Hopefully, I won't have any troubles, but I'm preparing myself that I could since I'm older and the position of my wisdom teeth (the lower ones are right near my jaw bone).

The one thing I'm happy about is that I'll get to enjoy the Super Bowl this weekend. I don't really care about the game so much since I'm not a fan of either team, but I wanted to have fun with my friends and eat lots of food. This way I can eat lots of food before I can only eat soft foods for a bit.

It's probably been 15 years or more since I had to have my wisdom teeth out. One was impacted, very painful. If I remember correctly, I was only in a bad way for one day. I remember feeling like I had a mouthful of something.

They put me under with gas and I have no recollection of the proceedure, except being woken up in another room.

I think everything will be fabulous for you.

I ended up having to take a week off from work due to an allergic reaction to the painkillers after surgery. Overall, wisdom tooth surgery it wasn't a horrible experience. The pain for a week was well worth not having constant tooth/jaw pain. Good luck with your surgery!
