Off to the butcher... errm, I mean dentist

[andrewmck]

Well, I'm off to the hospital now to see the oral surgeon and get these 4 wisdom teeth removed.

Not at all looking forward to it (full anaesthetic day surgery) and looking forward even less to 3 or 4 days of a swollen and sore mouth and jaw.

But, once it is done it will mean an end to the horrible pain I've had every few months.

See you all on the other side.

Good luck. I had all mine out years ago, and had no facial swelling at all. Not a skerrick. So maybe you'll get lucky too!

Good luck!

I only had two, and had them removed just under a local. I was a pretty swollen, but pain killers, ice cream and jelly are your friends :)

Oh jeepers, I had all four done at once, and the swelling! I had no neck, my chin was directly connected to my chest. I survived on cuppa soup until after about three days, I felt I could drive well enough to get me to a takeaway, and I got chips which I could push between my teeth and then crush against the roof of my mouth. Those chips still rate as one of the best meals I've ever had.

Hope that you have a better time of it, and there's someone there to look after you until you're better.

Good choice of muzac sir to go with teeth removal.

See you on the other side indeed, we need to talk Scenes from the Second Storey stuff!
