I’m Baaaaack…
The regular normal posting will continue bright and early tomorrow morning, I just wanted to let everyone know that I survived the wisdom teeth extraction just fine and am almost back to normal. I spent two days in a lot of pain and my sockets took forever to stop bleeding, but all seems well now. I had a bone fragment work itself free last night (apparently unremarkable and fine, but yuck) but today I almost feel completely normal.
On the financial side, although the surgery cost us only $155 out of pocket, there were a few other minor expenses I didn’t think about I also had to cover. First was the prescription pain medicine - which ended up being about $14. Not bad. The other was the special food my spouse went out to get me. I was on a diet of basically liquid for a day and then not much firmer than that on day two. My spouse went shopping for yogurt, ice cream, milkshakes, and the like and somehow spent $50. Ah well. But in his defense he did all the grocery shopping this weekend and managed to only spend ~$70 of his $85 budget so that was good. He told me he never wants to grocery shop again.
Not the most exciting of weekends but I did get to just laze around and watch whatever I wanted on TV for a few days. When I wasn’t sleeping. I found a really funny show on Discover called Cash Cab. Otherwise, I don’t remember a thing. Hope all of your weekends were even more relaxing for much better reasons!

Yeah! Glad you’re doing better. I had all four of mine removed some years back and I was miserable for a few days. Then I got a dry socket…miserable again for a few days.
Hopefully it’s up hill from here! Thanks for the update.

I had my wisdom teeth out last year - what a miserable week that was. I remember leaving the doctor’s office after having them removed, and almost fainting because of the after effects of the anesthesia.. ugh.
hope they continue getting better!

Whoo hoo! Glad everything went OK and you are back in 1 piece - although you are missing some teeth.

Wow! Glad to hear that’s over with!
When I got mine out, I was eating steak the next evening (argha! What a woman!!), but a year or so later the husband had his out and darn near croaked right over, poor guy.
Hope you’ll soon be munching on porterhouse!

Glad you are back and the surgery went well!
And phew on that bone fragment…so glad that it worked itself out. My dad had one that was giving him pain for many months. He had no idea what it was. The dentist found and removed it. It was soooo painful.
Rest up now!
