Prayers.

Just saw this and prayed for you for no pain and minimal discomfort during the recovery.

I share your dislike for visits to the Dentist but the radiation I had a few years ago for Head and Neck cancer kinda messed up, among other things, my teeth and I go to the Dentist every two months.

So, yeah, I relate to your apprehension and prayed it'll go very easy for you.

Best wishes, hoping it goes smoothly for you.

I seem to of come through fine. The laughing gas is an excellent choice. I was watching Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade during the procedure and I don't remember watching it. So far so good. Thank you all for the prayers.

Prayers for a quick and comfortable recovery!

I'm a week out from having my wisdom teeth extracted. I developed a pretty decent infection in my jaw. I have had some very painful sleepless days. I've been on Amoxi-Clav 500-125 for a few days now and I think I may be turning towards the positive. I'm no longer in constant pain. I am now in periods of zero pain and periods of major pain. I have missed a week of work, but I did get to completely rewatch Generation Kill, Rome and I am on Season 3 of The Wire.
I think I have actually gained some weight as I have been on a diet of pudding and ice cream.
I think I will be able to go to work tomorrow and I see my dentist for the 3rd time on Friday.

Anyway, I thought I would post an update. Lesson learned: Have your wisdom teeth extracted in your 20s.

I don’t know if anyone reads this, but its therapeutic for me to write about it. I saw a doctor yesterday for my infection. She gave me a Toradol shot. I saw the dentist today and he packed my exposed jaw bone with clove paste. That stuff gives some relief. I slept for 5 straight hours last night and I don’t mean to be vulgar, but the wife helped me get going this morning.
I need to see the dentist next Tuesday, but I hope I am good to go for my annual Independence Day celebration brisket.
Thanks for all the prayers.

I'm glad it helps to write about it! My post-surgical infection was bad (and my fault, I tried eating lo mein too soon afterwards...) and glad the clove paste is working for you. Prayers for a speedy recovery and the opportunity to enjoy some freedom brisket!
