So far, I'm in almost no pain and hope it stays that way. I'm medicating with Advil and Amoxicillin for now, and hoping to stay away from the heavier drugs prescribed. There's some slight swelling, but it's not very noticeable. I have to go out for some "soft-food" groceries at some point, but for now my life looks like that of an old man's nightstand...

Oh wow, you were awake for it?! Yikes. I was out, but they were pulling all 4 at once and they were all only halfway in.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I only technically "needed" the lower left out since it was partially erupted and hard to keep clean. But, since you need to have opposing teeth, the top left had to come out with it (or it would continue to grow in). The Novocaine did the trick, and my teeth haven't hurt - but man, this headache! I can't figure out if the miserable headache is due to the teeth, sinus issues (because of the teeth) or if I screwed up my neck due to sleeping with my head elevated (to prevent swelling)... I'm thinking it's the later.
DeletePS) All this teeth talk makes me think about your jaw surgery and orthodontics blog!
