Hi HW Family
Tomorrow at 4 PM I'm having my wisdom teeth out :(. Luckily they're not putting me under because they're way above the gum line, but I'm still extremely anxious. Luckily my work has granted me 5 days off in recovery time, so while Im looking forward to having some R+R post removal, the actual removal part will not be fun. Dental chairs are a huge trigger for me. Once you're in there you're sort of trapped. Especially when you're having your wisdom's yanked ha!

Prayers and well wishes are greatly appreciated.

I was put under to have mine pulled 4 years ago. I was scared going into it, but once they started pumping the gas I relaxed, then they put me under. Honestly it was a lot of worry for nothing. Although I realize that is easy to say now.

Made it out alive :). The actual extraction took 5 minutes total for four teeth (my dentist is some type of magician apparently) but about 30 minutes for the 12 shots of novocaine to kick in. Healing at home now and for the next few days will enjoy a diet of lots of frozen yogurt and mashed foods :)

Awesome news...so glad the procedure was easy!

Now rest up, as you are likely worn out just from the anticipation of it all...

... may the recovery be quick and easy too!

Great job!
