Warning...some of the details of this post may be considered gross. There might be mention of blood clots, stiches, vomitting and bad breath. But maybe...it will make you laugh too? Anyway...I just wanted to add that little disclaimer!!
You don't actual loose your wisdom...though I was warned by many hilarious people I know that all my smarts would be gone. I'd say in fact the very opposite thing happened. I gained some!
My teeth are strong and they were bigger than normal. I had to pack gauze for 5 hours instead of 2.
Packing gauze is gross and if it weren't for Mom's help...I'm pretty sure I would have bled to death.
You want the clot to stay on your gums...not be pulled out with the gauze. Lesson learned...luckily only once!
Your breath can in fact smell worse than your worst hung over, teeh haven't been brushed in 24 hours breath...and yes...even worse than after the flu. It's awful people. Awful.
I LOVE Advil.
I HATE Hydrocodone (a codine derivative I believe)...well I should say I hate what it does to me
Throwing up the pain medicine that's supposed to help your pain doesn't help. In fact, the violence of puking made my gums throb. Yuck.
It's possible to drive a car and get sick in it, w/o making a mess and w/o opening the driver door. Tricky.
Said car ride was NOT something I should have ventured on just yet. Stupidity.
Half a day of throwing up chicken broth...will in fact land you a pretty nice little prescription for anti-nauseous medicine.
I LOVE Advil.
My best friend truly loves me beyond measure because she came over after my whole day of throwing up...on a Friday night no less...crawled in bed next to me and watched movies with me while I iced my cheeks.
You can in fact find yourself jealous as you watch your toddler happily chewing on a boring old saltine cracker and cheese sandwich
My mother is a saint...and I hope that one day I am able to cultivate the same endless selflessness she expends taking care of me and my family.
My Dad got dry sockets when he had his wisdom teeth taken out...but "he has NO idea why...because he was an A+ patient." The above comment followed this conversation:
Dad: Can you feel your stiches back there?
Me: No that would require me to touch my tongue to my sockets. That's gross.
Dad: Oh...well I wouldn't leave my stiches alone.
Hmmm Dad. And you were an A+ patient huh?
No...you will not remember most of what happens to you following being put under by twilight (not the book series) however, you will swear you are with it and fully functioning in the moment. I posted to Facebook and didn't even realize I did it. Scary.
I now consider last Thursday a flash of events...many of which I don't remember. My husband said it best...you had your wisdom teeth out. Not worth remembering anyhow.
Oh and did I mention? I LOVE Advil!! It has been almost a week and I still can't skip a dose. Waiting for that to subside...any day now would be great!
The actual chewing of food is all part of the process of enjoying eating. I miss it.
I'm so glad this is finally over.
Oh and anyone know when dissolvable stiches finally dissolve?????????????
