Wisdom teeth, I'm defriending you all!

[stereo_m]

I just had a wisdom tooth extracted, and while it didn't exactly hurt and was quick and went well and all that, I still DISLIKE the procedure. It was my second time, and - lucky me! - I have two more to look forward to.

So now I'm (1) swollen, (2) still numb, and (3) deathly afraid of the PAIN. Last time, I spend a few hours crying in bed, because the pain was so bad. I've already taken both ibuprofen (which dentist said was The Shit for tooth related pains) and paracetamol. I also have some leftover prescription painkillers ready, JUST IN CASE.

I shall now commence bed rest and fanfic reading. :D Bring it on, pain. I am ready.

Oh, yikes, they're doing it one at a time? I couldn't imagine--they just knocked me out and yanked all four of mine at once.

I hope you feel better!

Yeah, they've chosen to appear one at a time, so I guess that's how they do it. I'm going to ask if they can't take the last two at the same time, though one is about to come out now and the other has... a lot of growing to do before it's even close to appear. I wonder if they'll knock me out if I give them my puppy dog eyes? :p

And thanks, I do! :)

One at a time? OWWWWW. I'm sorry! All I remember of mine is to take the pain killers early, so that you never get the space between wearing off and kicking in. Dentist recommended, patient approved, lol.

I hope you feel better soon (:

I made that mistake last time, not taking pain killers early enough. I mentioned this to the dentist, and she gave me a pill while the anaesthetic was setting in. :p And then I took two more before it wore off. Heh. And I was pain free! :D

I second the HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?!" comment - jees, at the very least I would have thought two at a time would be fine, even if they didn't want to knock you out for all four. I've had two done at once and was totally fine.

*many many sympathetic hugs*

They've (the teeth) decided to COME FORTH all... not at the same time, so I guess that's why they're doing it like this. I mean, the first one was like... 2002? Maybe? Like, BEFORE GEEKMOOT, Katie. And that was AGES ago. And the second one now.

Thankee sai *cling*
