Ye...Hope I'm not too late to send you this........ Yes I had all 4 out and the teeth were so full of wisdom that they were smart enough to hide from the surgeon.<BR/><BR/>FYI - I just laughed so hard at the pee thing!<BR/><BR/>My only feel better, absorb blood, and keep infection away advice is to stick a wet tea bag in there. Its gross, but better then gauze and numbs the area a bit.<BR/><BR/>Your kids will probably laugh at the swelling... there will be swelling... Mine were out before child, so Veg has only seen the pictres of me and he laughs. I was a chipmunk for a few days. <BR/><BR/>Some tea tree and water on a washcloth held to the outside of your cheeks may help the swelling and pain a bit if your not allergic that is.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you know this, but if your still B'Feeding... DON'T for a few days, and ask when it is safe to do so. because the knock out chemicals they use. Or ask the doc first.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't take the meds either but think I was taking Advil or something and half the meds they gave, also had to take antibiotics because of the deep digging. But only for a couple days.<BR/><BR/>The Sleep part was the worst for me (and Hubby) <BR/>Relax the day or two after. Ice, rest, and you'll need soft foods for a while.<BR/><BR/>Blender and Food Processor can be your friend. You can do smoothies, puddings (soy variety) Yogurts (So delicious has a new coconut milk one), Apple sauce, soups, etc. Ice Creams, Shakes... You could make soy shakes. <BR/><BR/>Baby foods that you would make for your little guy. Baked potatoes over cooked, mashed potatoes....<BR/><BR/>Gosh, where was I when I had my wisdom teeth out... I had no idea then there were so many options. Ha HA HA... Amazing what becoming a Mom does.<BR/><BR/>Don't drink out of a straw it will cause dry-sockets. Stay away from smokers for this same reason. (not that you would be around them, but just in case)<BR/><BR/>OH... Rinse and spit with salt water instead of toothpaste once you can..<BR/><BR/>You will do GREAT!!! I'll be thinking of you... Sending happy healing vibes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947592959131042276.post-45569220719213505862008-09-19T22:03:00.000-04:002008-09-19T22:03:00.000-04:00How did you do?

I remember feelin...I got knocked out with the gas. I remember feeling sore but not a ton of pain. I couldn't take the perks because they made me puke and that was way too much pressure to that area of the mouth. <BR/>I want to say in about 2 weeks I was good as new. But soups, apple sauce, yogurt and icecream was the diet. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.. you will be ok.. and no no no don't say 2 then 2 later.. Get it over with rather then having to heal twice and deal with the swelling twice.. <BR/>ICE ICE ICE! As much as you can. Good luck! You will be ok.<BR/><BR/>Sorry forgot to change my log in ..

I had mine taken out when I was 16 and ...Good Luck! I had mine taken out when I was 16 and they didn't put me to sleep, but gave me A LOT of shots. You'll be fine!! <BR/><BR/>I always worry about the "pee" factor too for some reason. <BR/><BR/>I wonder why they call them wisdom teeth?Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927885981276316514noreply@blogger.com
