Advice from your toothless friend...buddhaismymomJune 8 2005, 22:52:46 UTC
Stay away from carbonated pop or you'll get dry sockets and want to die.
Eat lots of ice cream.
Stay away from straws and spicy food for at least one week.
Milk it for as long as possible.
Vicodin is GOD; use it responsibly.
No oral sex. Unless you're receiving. Though I doubt you'll even be up for that.
Check to make certain your oral surgeon didn't take advantage of you while you were under anesthesia. If he did, be ready for a lifetime of free dental care.
Eat more ice cream. And pudding.
Faking seizures is funny, but will induce bleeding. Try to keep the faux epilepsy to a minimum until your mouth has stopped bleeding.
No soup until day two!
It's okay to cry and/or repeatedly hit objects/people.
Writing stories about Robert Monroe is a great way to take your mind off of the pain.
So is convincing your mom to allow Jessie on the protest bus.
Find a good nurse. I do not recommend Jen, she is sadistic and will withhold your medication for her own sick pleasure. [I kid, she's wonderful]
Drooling blood is normal. Unattractive, but normal.
And lastly...
There is no Tooth Fairy. Placing your wisdom teeth under your pillow will only result in a foul smell that will NEVER dissipate. If you're that desperate for a shiny new quarter, ask.
