Pearls of Wisdom

So my wisdom teeth came out today. This has been quite the long process, spanning 3 dentists, 2 oral surgeons, and 2 states. But I'm glad they are finally out. I was more nervous than I thought I would be. As silly as it sounds, I felt like it was me pretty much doing it all on my own. It is my insurance, I'm out here 1000 miles from my family, getting a ride from my friend/roommate/co-worker. I didn't think anything would go wrong, just being more independent about something than I was or am used to.

But when they hooked me up to the IV, my Dr. said this will make you tired, I replied that it felt warm. That was it. Out for the freaking count. I really don't remember the post-op and Phil driving home. I sent a text to Sandy saying "Done towe toy" at some point. Not sure what that meant. They let me keep my teeth. I thought to myself it would be cool to have them, but I don't remember asking. Here are some pictures Phil snapped:

After



Also, my only cavity was in a wisdom tooth, which is now not in my mouth. Does this mean I don't have any cavities again?
