I don't feel any less wise...

As a lot of people know, I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. I had heard a lot of painful and graphic stories about how bad it can end up. I basically stressed myself out for nothing. It's been about 26 hours since I got them pulled, and I haven't felt anything! Granted, I took advils every 3-4 hours yesterday, but I haven't taken any since about 11 pm last night. I was lucky enough to only have 2 wisdom teeth total, and my roots grew in perfectly straight. I didn't even have to get put under for the surgery! On a scale from 1-10 of my experience, 10 being extremely painful and 1 being nothing, I'd have to say this experience was about a 2 (ony because changing the gauze was nasty and the lingering taste of blood is gross). I'm really craving some solid food, though. I've only had a couple yogurts, ice cream, and a pudding cup...not exactly the ideal meal according to the food pyramid.

So, for anyone out there awaiting getting their wisdom teeth extraction...don't fret! It wasn't bad at all! I would just recommend getting them taken out before the roots become all twisty like a pretzel.
