I’m sorry your experience was so bad. I was 2 mo. pregnant w/Taylor, but they weren’t impacted and he only did my top ones. They came right out and I even drove myself home. My bottom ones after she was born were pretty much the same way. I guess I lucked out. I didn’t even know you were having this done. I hope you are feeling better.

Oh wow that looks like it hurts. Now I am even more scared for whenever I have to get my wisdom teeth out.

Hey Esther!

I had my wisdom teeth taken out when I was 14. They were really compacted, but if I had them out then I wouldn’t have to have braces. I got to be put out which was really scary since it was my first IV and they had to give me laughing gas to put it in. I didn’t throw up though. I did get dry sockets though. I hope you don’t get them. I still remember how much they hurt. I was in bed for a few days and then slowly got better. :) Good luck! We missed you at Grandma’s last week! :)

I had all four taken out at the same time when I was 16, and then seperately after that two of them got infected so I got knocked out three times in all. I was pretty excited about that at the time. :) And I think it’s the cutest thing ever when kids play with Daddy. Nothing else like that in the world. :)

You look way too cute for having just gotten your wisdom teeth out!! I hope you are feeling better soon…I bet recover is hard when you are trying to take care of a busy little one.

I had three of mine pulled when I was 18 (I think) and it was first thing on a Saturday morning. I was put out and I still don’t remember anything about getting back to my sister’s place. I slept all day while bleeding all over my poor niece’s pillow, and then we went out to Souper Salad for dinner. I remember eating a baked potato and thinking that was good progress. I don’t remember taking much medication either. Honestly after reading everyone else’s horror stories I’m sure it was just a huge blessing because I had to be back up to Ricks by Monday and I was pretty much all better by then. But I do remember thinking that I owed all my quick recovery to that curved syringe he gave me to spray food out of the holes after I ate – I was pretty religious about it.
I really hope your recovery is about over for you…as a matter of fact, I’ll be giving you a ring tomorrow. :D

I hope you are feeling better everyday! My wisdom teeth weren’t too bad at all.. they had started growing in, so they pulled them like real teeth. I had about a day of recovery time, that day was not fun at all, but no throwing up!!

Ouch! We were living in Wymount when mines were taken out. Everybody seemed to be so happy around me, and I was in so much misery! I don’t know how to handle pain very well, do you remember my thumb-gigantic problem?, you guys were so nice to me, and it was just a nail! So dramatic!
For me, the recovery took about 10 days, I mean-to feel totally normal, I never throw up, maybe because I wasn’t eating at all, just liquids. Is a good time to loose some pounds…but you don’t need that at all ah! I remember having a mirror with me all the time because I wanted to see what was going on in there, I know, I’m weird.
Anyways, enjoy the comfort of being in bed, you’ll need all that energy when Jimmy goes back to work!
