Ouch!

Yesterday morning I had my wisdom teeth taken out. Apparently there were only 3. The first 2 (top on either side) were ok, but the last one (bottom right) was a nightmare!! He spent nearly a half hour on it and had to pull out the drill to get it all out. When he finally popped out the roots one had a hook on it. That explains why it was so difficult, but the amount of pressure he put on my tooth was unreal!! Oh, and the noises!!! So gross!!

The pain medication he prescribed is stronger than T3's! The pharmacist was a little concerned which concerned me as well. Apparently it's a straight narcotic. I figure it was because it wasn't an easy extraction. Nonetheless, I went home after getting the painkillers and antibiotics and tried to sleep since I slept for all of 20 minutes the night before. Since the pharmacist was sure I'd get drowsy I figured I'd be asleep in no time...not the case.

Anyway, I'm doing OK. I slept fairly well last night so that was great! Trying to get some foods (liquid form) in me and using ice to reduce the chipmunk look. Hope you're all having a fun day!

Ok GROSS and EWWW and I don't care how many people tell you this: do NOT rush to eat solids and do NOT suck from a straw! Dry socket SUCKS.

thanks, I did use a straw this afternoon, but will not do that again. How do you know you have dry socket?
