I survived my wisdom teeth removal surgery just fine last Thursday. No problems with anesthesia or anything. I had very little bruising and my swelling has mostly gone down (after 5 days). The worst part of it is just the recovery. The Percocet they gave me took the edge off the pain, but I haven't been pain-free since before my surgery.
Driving back from Panama City after the surgery was interesting. Mostly it was ok, except for trying to eat ice cream with no feeling in my tongue and lower mouth. Much dribbling ensued. Novocaine is fun.
I'll be out of Percocet soon and I'm still hurting. I guess that's par for the course. Eventually I will stop hurting for good, because my wisdom teeth are not here to cause problems.
