I want to say thank you guys for the emails and calls that you have been thinking about me...that made me feel very good! =)
Yes, I got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. I am so happy to have gotten that done. It is something that I can check off of my list of things to do, that I have needed to get done for a while.
I didn't go out to an oral surgeon. My dentist did it in his office. They gave me some Valium and numbed my mouth to pull the teeth and I am happy to say I didn't feel a thing. After getting my wisdom teeth out there was not much pain that day until later in the evening when the drugs wore off. I did throw up twice after getting my teeth pulled. I'm not for sure if it was taking vicoden and ibuprofen on an empty stomach or what. When I threw up I was so nervous I was going to disrupt the areas where the teeth were just pulled. I am happy to say that I had no bruising. My face just got a little swollen.
Today 3 of the areas where the teeth were pulled seemed to be fine and not giving me any problems. The lower right side is another story. I have had constant pain where they pulled my lower right tooth out since the day it was pulled. I called the emergency number yesterday for my dentist because of it being the weekend. He said he didn't think I had dry socket and that side may just take longer to heal. Oh my, I can't wait for it too heal, it has been very painful!!

Glad you called the dentist and asked. I was telling Tammi about you yesterday and she said it was probably the one that was impacted and it was because they had to dig it out. Then I told her it was actually the one that had broken thru and was up. She thought maybe dry sockets. Glad you called him and he reassured you.
Good to hear you are doing better. It isn't the most fun thing to do but now you are on the healing side. So I hope it will be a fast one.
Love, Aunt Liz
