Oh and my swelling is not very bad....
Here is a picture of right after the procedure. Swollen just on one side... not to bad I'd say. But it has basically gone down.

Wisdom Teeth Experience
So I got my wisdom teeth pulled today. I was lucky and had only 2 and they were on the top! Let me just say, I was SOOOOOOOOOOO nervous. So when I got there, they called me back when i got there. I sat on the chair and admitted that i was SOOOOO nervous. I stayed awake and they numbed my mouth REALLY good. So I sat on the chair and the tears were slowly started to form because I was in there without my Mother and Father so yeah it was scary. They began to shoot up my mouth with stuff and the tears started dripping from my eyes. The nurses were so nice, they got a tissue and dabbed my eyes for me. And they even let me listen to my ipod... THANK GOODNESS!. After they got my mouth all shot up, one of the nurses even massaged my head to help me zone out before the doc did his business. But they have that procedure down! Right when i opened my mouth for the doc to start working, they got one out quick as a wink. Then they got the other one out quickly. It only took like 15 minutes. Here is my dad's experience, he checked me in, When they called me back, he went to find the rest room, after the rest room, he went back to the waiting room, sat down, found a magazine, and then I was done and came walking out. But yeah, it is all done, my upper jaw is just a little stiff and it will probably be worse tomorow.... so we shall see

Ow ow ow ouch!
Good luck on the recovery! Sometimes the day after is the worst. Well, for shoulder surgery, anyway...
I'm glad it wasn't so bad - hopefully you've been able to keep the pain at bay. I'm glad I got put out for all that cuz I had all 4 of mine pulled. It was nice to go to sleep and not see them do any of that! Good luck w/your recovery.
I am glad you survived --

I'm glad it went quick.....
Whoa, good to hear that you're fine. Wisdom teeth surgery can really be a real life-changing experience. Good thing there is what we call sedated dentistry. Perfect for those too afraid to face the inevitable, hehe.
