Well, it is finally my turn to get my four wisdom teeth surgically removed. I only have 3.5 hours until I must start my complete fast. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.  Though I am not too worried, the use of a general anaesthesia has me on edge. |

Lord have mercy! I've just had one removed and it was taken out with just a novacaine shot. I don't know why. I'm sure you'll be O.K., but I understand your being a bit nervous.

Lord have mercy.
I'm recovering from mine as I type this, so I definitely share your concerns. Anaesthesia's not bad, really. I sat in a chair, had an IV stuck in my arm, the doctor came in and said hello, and then I was out for about four hours straight with no memory of what happened. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in my bed at home. I hope the same for you.

I hope so too. Thanks. |

Its been 20 years since I had mine removed but I'll share what I recall. I had 5 wisdom teeth (still got 'em in a jar), 3 of which were impacted, so they knocked me out with sodium penathol. They asked me to count back from 100 and after 97 I was out for four hours and felt like I was hung over from a nasty night of drinking as the stuff wore off. I was out the door the same day with a scrip for codene to help the recovery. You'll undoubtedly be on soft foods for a few days but there are no real worries from the procedure.
God Bless, and be sure to tell your Priest for the necessary prayers.

Well, I just got home from it and the computer nerd I am, I logged onto my laptop quickly. It went well. My beard covers up most of the swelling. Throat hurts a little and my jaw is really stiff. Now I am just waiting for my cocktail of pills to kick in, LoL. Again, thank you all for your prayers.  |

Lord have mercy. Try to keep ice on your face in 20 minute increments: 20 minutes on one side, then 20 minutes on the other. It'll help keep the swelling down and that will keep the pain to a minimum. I've been using that method with Mr. Y and he's recovering very well.

Thank you. Yup, I have these cold packs I've been able to alternate for 30 mins on, 30 mins off. The anti-inflammatories and ice seem to be keep the swelling down, though my head still looks like a pumpkin. Ooohh, man! That Vicodin is real trippy, dude! Makes you feel nice and loopy, don't it? Been there. Done that. Lord, have mercy. Oh it does, . Helps nicely with the healing process.  |

Yay! I had a terrible time when I had mine out. I was swollen, bruised, and in pain for about a week afterward. Despite that, it was well worth it to stop having daily headaches.

Mine were horizontally impacted in the bottom, so if I had waited much longer, I would have been in a real mess. Yesterday was probably the worst, it seems I finally rounded that hump. |

Yeah, mine were in the same situation. I had the surgery on a Wednesday, and Sunday was my worst. Monday, though, was the best day I had had up to that point, and I continued improving every day after. Today is Day 12, and I'm almost totally pain-free. |
