Have you had your wisdom teeth pulled?

Not bad at all. I (silently) had a godamn panic attack when I sat down in the chair and they made me sign a consent form indicating I was aware that there was a possibility of them puncturing my sinus cavity (!!) when removing the upper ones, or fucking with the major nerve that gives life to your lips/tongue/gums (!!) when removing the lower ones.

They didn't give me do a countdown. I felt the pinch from the IV, she said I might feel a slight burning sensation in my right shoulder (which I did not) and maybe 10 seconds later I was out.

Freaky part was waking up during the procedure. I remember seeing them and hearing them talk about stitching me up, then saying I needed more anesthesia. It wasn't painful or anything, just freaky.

This same exact thing happened to me. I recall waking up four times and it looked like a fucking movie with four people with surgical masks in your face, powerless to do anything. Every time I'd open my eyes the doc would tell me to shut them, I would oblige and just pass back out. I recall seeing the doc stitch me up (pulling the string or whatever it is in and out of my mouth), which was weird. I didn't feel anything though, and although I heard the sounds of who-knows-what-the-fuck kind of machinery they were using, it wasn't cringe worthy. At one point I believe he told them to up my anesthetic.

I was not very loopy after the procedure. I did need to have someone help walk me out to the car, but by the time I got home (20 minute car ride), I was fine. Was obviously talking funny because of a totally numb tongue. I was kind of disappointed, actually!! Was hoping to do at least ONE loopy retarded thing I could later laugh at. Oh well, maybe I'll just chug some vicodin and get ~crazy~ that way.

Oh and my ride did attach a video camera to his rear view mirror sometime in-between dropping me off and driving me home. That asshole.

So now I'm home. My mouth/chin/some of my cheek areas being totally numb was a really bizarre feeling, I had a really hard time taking my antibiotics + pain meds when I first got home, I just couldn't tell if I was swallowing them or not and ended up having to spit them out and try again. The right side of my face actually feels really fine, it's the left side that's being a mother fucker. Right side is no longer numb and not even painful. Left side is still retarded numb and very painful. Now that my tongue is un-numbing I'm starting to taste blood and whatever else. Yuck.

Didn't know that on day 1 I'm not allowed to have warm foods, because that's pretty much all I planned for (soup, overcooked pasta, etc). Pudding can only go so far! My roomie just went to go track down a smoothie from Kiva Juice or something.

Anyway, for your viewing pleasure. I'm assuming the broken up ones came from the side of my mouth that's more painful than the other:
