My wisdom teeth were pulled out this morning. And nobody gave me any Percocet to replace them. Just a handful of Tylenol 3's.
I was also only mildly sedated, which the nurse assured me would give me enough amnesia to forget the surgery. Though I definitely have a memory of yelling "Isschme! Ischme!" while they tried to remove the most stubborn tooth. Only to clearly spit out "Itchy!!" once they removed whatever was keeping my jaw propped up and have a coughing fit, for whatever reason. Fortunately, I'm feeling more of a general nausea and irritation than any real pain post-surgery. Though the swelling has given me a window into the future, or at least of my aging process. And it is jowly. I'm also wondering what my new nervous tic will be, since I no longer have some emerging teeth to run my tongue over. Anyway, if you haven't had your wisdom teeth out yet, I wouldn't recommend doing it until you've procured the following: an oversized vintage Green Bay Packers sweatshirt. And something stronger than Tylenol 3's.

Do you feel any less wise? I noticed a dramatic drop in my wiseatude when I had mine removed :(
Somehow I feel more wise. Maybe these teeth were holding me back all along!
