All I wanted afterward was Chinese food...
i must be the only person to have gotten it done and not want to eat. i just wanted something to drink. i was thirsty, and i wanted some lip gloss because my lips were all chapped when i woke up.
when my mom got me that milkshake so i could take my meds i was drooling, but that could've been because my chin was numb. that was fun, i kept poking my chin because it was numb until like sunday afternoon (i got it done on a thursday).
just to let you know meegannie, obviously people heal differently and stuff. like that friday night, i wanted to get out of the house and do something. i wasn't ready to go to the mall or anything, we just went to the movies. it was so depressing though, not to be able to get popcorn or anything. but i didn't want them. my mom asked me a million times if i was sure i wouldn't mind if she got nachos. although i wasn't in any pain, the last thing i wanted to do was eat.
for me, the only pain i experienced was a stiff jaw. although, it only happened once the meds started to wear off. i didn't even sleep with gauze in that first night! i woke up looking normal but numb, there was no pool of blood like my hubbie described, not even a little drop of it coming out of my mouth.
oh, and i got all four taken out. the top two were impacted and had to be cut in half. plus, the bottom right one was coming in diagonally.
