I’ve lost all my wisdom

Hello friends! It’s good to be back amongst the living. Last Thursday I had my wisdom teeth removed. I expected the surgery and recovery to be a breeze, but it has totally kicked my butt.

The dentist that I’ve gone to since almost birth recently stopped practicing, so I moved to Brad’s dentist. This was in February. Well they took some xrays and saw this…

As you can see, (I feel like Vanna White), my wisdom teeth on the bottom were coming in sideways and the teeth on top were growing into the roots of other teeth! Not good. One of the bottom wisdom teeth had broken the skin and was starting to irritate me AND they were starting to shift the rest of my teeth on the bottom, so we decided that they needed to come out soon!

So we scheduled the surgery and out they came! The strangest part for me was when the surgeon was getting out the last tooth. I guess they cut back on the anesthesia since they were almost done because I could hear everything that was going on. And even though it wasn’t painful at all, I could feel what they were doing. It was a little creepy! Thursday was not a pretty day for me. After one sip of soup at dinner time, I officially lost my cookies. That’s SUPER fun after you’ve just had your mouth cut on.

When I met with my surgeon before the surgery to discuss everything, he told me that since I’m so small, I probably wouldn’t swell much. WELLLLLLLLLLL folks, I just happened to document my ever expanding elephantitus  just for you!

Friday…

Saturday…

Sunday…

No swelling at all, see? :) And Sunday morning I woke up with a HUGE bruise on the side of my face.

It’s actually gotten worse since I took that picture. AND this morning, I woke up with a black eye! What in the world???

But I brushed my teeth, showered and came to work today! Hopefully I will be able to make it through the day!
