I liiive!

Ugh. Ok, the only bright side to getting my wisdom teeth out is that it won't happen again. EVER. I don't care if another set miraculously appear in my head, they are staying. I proved to be rather incompatible with vicodin, and there was awhile when I couldn't even keep water down. Puking after oral surgery is not at all pleasant, let me tell you. Luckily the pain in genral hasn't been too bad, few normal painkillers do the job. The swelling was pretty terrible though. I didn't know my cheeks could GET that big. It's gone down a lot in the past 24 hours, which is good, and turned green, which isn't so much.

I've managed to never really hate dentists before in my life...and that's with previous oral surgery, and braces with the rubber bands. Well, this tears it. Dentists! You are on my notice list!

I don't have much of a history with pain killers...tend to avoid anything stronger than my work-advil...but codeine didn't bother me before. Blerg. Glad I don't need it though! May there be no post-surgical cookie-tossing for either of us in the future. That is absolutely miserable.

Other than that I'm feeling much, much better. At this point it's just my vanity at being all puffy. I'll just have to remind my minions at work not to get 'cheeky' with me. That's my department.
