    Default I'm kinda scared...

    I leave at 6am today for my oral surgery. I've never had anything like this done (the only time I even was in a hospital was when I had my daughter). Of course, everyone talks about how painful the next few days are... So, I'm not looking forward to that...

    Just wanted to let you all know that I may be gone for a bit...depending on how I'm feeling.

    Ich...I hate going to the doctors/dentists.

    Best wishes for a quick and as pain free as possible recovery! I'm sure the whole SW crowd will be sending good vibes your way.

    Venus, you won't even feel it. They'll give you the good drugs, don't worry a bit. Me and the surgeon, we're old buddies. I know all about it.

    Ask for lots of Demerol or Darvocet (Generics work), NOT Vicoden (that doesn't do SHIT).

    When I had my wisdom teeth out I was terrified but I was so drugged up during and after I hardly remember a thing. Hopefully your doctor is equally kind.

    I don't care much for Darvocet, Percocet works well for me and Lortab is ok. Mepergan is really good, it's Demerol + Phenergan and about the strongest drug most dentists will prescribe.

    I hope you recover quickly and that it's painless for you. I don't blame you for being scared, I'm a big baby when it comes to surgeries and stuff like that.

    Be sure to get tons of rest and hurry back to us!!!

    Good luck today Venus. Funny how nobody mentioned oxycontin (but then again, it's quite addictive and its probably too strong in this case). It's scary how many SW members know so much about prescription pain killers. Madcap, Lindsay Lohan's Dad doing lines of coke off Paris...that's hilarious even if it is a terrible likeness of her.

    Good luck. As long as you have a good doc you should be just fine though. I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed the same day as opening night of a play I was in for my community theatre once. It was fine. My doc did an excellent job, never felt a thing during the surgery, took a pain pill, and had no pain that night or at all during my recovery. I hope your experience is just as good.

    I think it's supposed to be Hilton & Nicole Ritchie. I haven't even got any idea who Lindsay Lohan even is, though, so i could certainly be wrong.

    Good luck Venus. I don't think it will hurt as much it will be just uncomfortable and annoying. I'm with everyone else Vicodin doesn't do shit for me, but hey I know some people that get knocked on their ass with it, so I guess that just depends. The oral surgeon should give you a jolt via IV before you leave the office, or that's been my experience.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Went in today...waited 5 hours...have to go back in on Monday for the surgery (got bumped back because of another emergency).

    One part of me is relieved (I really, really hate sharp things in my mouth) and the other part of me is annoyed...another weekend of pain.

    Oh, well. Back to the operating table on Monday!!

    Thanks, everybody...for the well wishes. I feel so much better.

    Ugh, don't you hate it when you get syched up for something and then it gets delayed???

    Best of luck, I'm sure it will go fine. I had all 4 of my wisdom's out about a month ago, and had no complications (no swelling, pain, etc.). Someone on here recommended icing 20 minutes on/off, and I think that was my saving grace. If you're concerned about swelling, just buy a few packs of frozen peas and some ace bandages. Strap the peas to your face (even while sleeping...obviously, you won't be taking it off after 20 minutes tho!). I did this for the first 36 hrs.

    I am such a dental phobic, and was seriously stressed about it. I hope you have as good of an experience as I did!

    I didn't like dentist visits until I had a bout with a tooth that only a dentist could treat. Dentistry is a rather handy profession.

    Lemme tell ya about my wisdom teeth. Came in fine, not impacted or anything. Just like new teeth. For about a week. Immediately they started falling apart. I was like "My luck..."

    Had to have them yanked ANYWAY! It sucked.

    My wisdom teeth came in fine - I had them for years and years.

    Finally, I cracked one in half and the other had a rut the size of the grand canyon in it. I thought I was cleaning them well! The dentist said the one that cracked in half was due to misaligned teeth.

    Anyhow - I really missed them when I had them removed - I felt like my mouth was half empty when chewing! How did you ya get along so long with out em?

    The person who said it is bound to be an annoyance more than anykind of pain is right - though I was feeling the same way you were before getting em pried out of your mouth. It is just something ya gotta go through to appreciate how advanced oral surgery is these days. No matter how much coxing people do, it just sucks to anticipate getting four teeth yanked out of head!

    The first two days will suck, cuz you won't be able to eat anything but really ice cream and you need to be careful to keep the blood clots in - you will be paranoid about loosing your clots after the teeth are gone! I know I was! After a week, I was feeling way way way better. It is kinda a long week though. :|
