I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed last Thursday. To my surprise, the whole thing has gone well so far. I took a Valium an hour before the procedure and I remember my arms and legs feeling heavy. When I got to the office I was taken in immediately and sat in a chair. An oxygen mask was placed over my face and an IV was put in my arm. I actually dreaded that part, but it wasn’t so bad. One of the assistants told me to clench my fist while she inserted the IV. She said it would feel like a bee sting and it did, but it didn’t hurt. Then she told me to relax and the last thing I heard was “he weighs 107 pounds…” and I was out like a light.
I don’t even remember waking up or getting into the car, but I do remember sitting in the car and talking to my mom about what I was seeing. The road was like a kaleidoscope and there were multiple copies of everything I saw; it was pretty neat actually. I haven’t had any major pain and I’ve been living off of chicken broth and Lortab. The Lortab makes me feel good, but I try not to rely on it because it’s bad for my liver. I also look like I’ve been punched in the face a few times, but there’s not any bruising and the swelling has gone down a lot. I miss eating regular food, though, and eating lunch at school this week is going to be a pain in the ass.
