Wisdom-less?

The picture below is of me looking like a chipmunk, 24-hours after going wisdom-less:

Yes, wisdom-less meaning that I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed through a surgical procedure. Now, I'm sitting here sore and unable to eat anything but yogurt, pudding, smoothies, and milkshakes.

When I went to the dentist about two weeks ago, he told me I needed to have the impacted teeth removed ASAP. Being that I was leaving for college this coming week, it became imperative that the surgery be done enough time in advance that I would be generally well and un-swollen for orientation a week from now.

The procedure was quick and painless, as I was put under the whole time. When I awoke, I was very loopy and pretty high from all the meds that were in me. After coming home and taking painkillers, as well as a nice, long nap, I was able to relax with minimal pain. There has been little swelling and my mouth is still sore, but I will persevere, especially if I wanna go visit my friends in Athens tomorrow!

So, my first surgery was a success, and hopefully by the time college begins next week, I will still have enough wisdom to begin that march towards my degree! :D
