That is all.

Eight gone - four wisdom teeth, four premolars. Thank god for an alternative to codiene, or I'd be in even more pain now. As it is, I can't feel the entire right side of my face, up to now above the cheekbone.

No, perfect shape, just overcrowding to a degree that had to get corrected.

That, and my coverage for oral surgery is about to run out, and I'd rather get this done before they're infected globs of Death festering in the back of my mouth.

Hell if I can remember it. They wanted to bump me up to Persocet, but fvck that. I've got sh!t to do for the next four days, and I'd rather not intellectually flatline myself by tanking up on barbituates.

Some Aspirin Type-R Overdrive kinda derivative. Seems to be working not too bad.

oh come on, it's not so bad. I had my wisdom teeth removed in Ecuador, under local anasthesia. Then I took my $7 worth of antibacterials and painkillers, and went home.

Still, $200 for all 4, not too bad. Very professional place, too. And about 20-30 minutes for the whole procedure!

heh, i had a friend who had teeth removed due to over crowding... she had to have surgery to her jaw to get them out, and to top it all off, 8 hours after the surgery, she stopped breathing, had a bad reaction to the painkillers (overdose, she weighs in at ~100lbs 5' 2"). Glad it went well for ya.

PS: She had a jaw infection for 2 weeks... poor kid.

The last thing I heard before the lights-out juice kicked in was "Holy sh!t that's a low BP"

Apparently I bottomed out at 80/35 during the whole procedure, and hardly bled a drop until they brought me back up. :Q

Hydrocodone won't knock you out that bad. Send them to me.

Yeah, I only have 24 teeth too. Had wisdom teeth out when they were buds though. Didn't have much pain and was back to normal after a day.

Hahaha. I contemplated trying to made a point of my last line being comical, since the doc here engages you in conversation, stealth-injects it and then just waits until you drop out.

"So you're going to school ..."
"Yeah, not bad, couple semeters left."
"Going to get a masters after this?"
"Nah, I figured I'd go down south and (Wooziness) buy Waffles, tasty waffles, with lots of syrup. *clunk*"
