So the surgery was great, whatever drug it is that makes you woosy is amazing lol, I was out within 20 seconds. I woke up crying and I don't know why.
Now the soreness is kicking in and I just took my motrin which was fed to me by my boyfriend (thank god he's here) But I'm not in as much pain as I thought I would be.
So now im on my way to braces this summer after 4 premolars are taken out! yayy, oh yeah I got to keep 2 of my teeth too...very trippy!
Thanks guys, everything is going good so far. Medicine is working fine, I just got swollen this morning...its so sad looking! lol I hope all this ice works to make it go down. Thanks again guys!
Keep the faith! It will get better soon!! Do whatever it takes to keep comfortable. I had 2 premolars, and 2 wisdom teeth removed 12/28/07 (after having braces for nearly year). After a "not so good" week, life was back to normal.
