Well, it went fine. My mouth hurts a lot of course. I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed but the bottom 2 had to be cut out and stitched up. I', a little dizzy atm, but I'm guessing it's cause of the lack of food. Can't eat crunchy things of course.  I can't remember where I woke up out of the anesthetic at.  I think it was my house, not sure. |

Thx scott. I would say about a 6 out of 10. But I do have medicine for it, of course. They gave me 4 prescriptions. 2 for pain, 1 for nausea/vomiting, and an antibiotic. And no I didn't feel anything, they knock you out with laughing gas then use an IV sedation to keep you asleep. |

A couple weeks for full recovery, I believe. Right now my face is swollen, so I look like I gained 100 pounds. |

Oh, I am. I have to rinse my mouth with salt water to avoid dry sockets. Bitter the first time, but you get used to it. |

I remember my "surgery" well. Heres the story. I had a "hole" in my heart. So after about two years of worrying about dying, (and $200,000 in medical bills) I go into "surgery." As it turns out, there was a clear membrane the whole time!!! Yay no swallowing for a week!!!! Oatmeal!!! Yay!! (worst week of my life)

I dislike surgery greatly. I had to have surgery on my foot. I couldn't get up. I know how people feel in wheelchairs. I had to stay at the hospital and that is where I learned to dislike hospital food.
