Today has been a busy day for me. I had to go out of town to get all four of my wisdom teeth removed. First, they put an IV in to my arm that put fluids into me. Then, gave me a drug called propofol for anesthesia. I then started counting backward from one hundred by sevens. Next thing I know, I'm waking up and the surgery is done. I felt pretty weak afterwards. Now, I'm keeping gauze in my mouth until the bleeding inside my mouth stops. The anesthesia has worn off, but the stuff they used to numb the inside of my mouth is still in effect. I sure hope it wears off soon. I learned that it is best to get wisdom teeth removed at an early age to make it easier.

Ethandune, I checked webmd.com and it says that in people in their late teens and early 20's, wisdom tooth roots aren't full developed and the jaw bone isn't as dense. Easier removal and easier recovery.

Ah. But my wisdom teeth didn't appear until I was over thirty.
