Tomorrow I'm getting my wisdom teeth out - all four of them! This has been a long time coming. My parents and I have been planning on getting them out since I was in high school, but my schedule has never really allowed me to take time off, and they never really bothered me enough to do something about it. This year has been different. My teeth have been giving me headaches, my jaw has been swollen since February, and my mouth has been sore pretty much daily, so I knew this year it would be absolutely necessary for them to come out. (Go figure, it's at the busiest time of my life!)
This is my first surgery (thankfully) and will be my first time being "put to sleep" with anesthesia. I'm pretty nervous, mostly because I don't really know what to expect and I don't want to make a fool of myself (I'm also not the biggest fan of needles being jammed into my arm...), but I'm sick and tired of my mouth being in pain, so I'm looking forward to that (hopefully) being over after a few days of recovery. (I'm also curious to see if my teeth have been the source of my migraines for the last year and a half. Having those be gone for good after this procedure would be wonderful!)
Anywho, I thought I'd write a quick post filling y'all in on this life moment. I've heard mixed reviews on the experience (pretty much everyone who finds out I'm about to do this has told me about their own experiences, and my #1 strength being Context, I love it) so I'm interested to see how this will go for me. All I know is I'll be on an all liquid diet for the next few days because I have no idea how else I'm supposed to feed myself, so if you have any advice for helping with recovery from wisdom teeth extraction, please let me know! :)
