Wisdom Teeth

I'm running on:
ibuprofen
vicodin (dr. house pain killer)
amoxacillin (antibiotic)
special mouthwash (antiseptic)
smoothies (ice cream, yogurt, milk, berries, yum) plus two eggs
methylprednisolone (steroids)

got them yanked out yesterday, the appointment was made the day before. Started feeling better after the Novocain wore off and I could control my mouth. Even better this morning after the sedative wore off.
Woke up twice at night from the pain (thankfully the pills where next to my bed.) But I feel better now, except that it's hard to talk/open my mouth in any way. But at least I have my brain back, damn sedatives.
granted, the vicodin makes me a bit drowsy too. 

my parents are very good care-givers.

My brother got me mike and ikes that he put on my bed before I left on Saturday morning, but I can't even suck on them, looking forward to be able to eat them!

Thankfully though, the guy who actually took out my teeth (Dr. Simon Bernstein) was a lot more confident in my mouth than the first guy we went to. Only one of my teeth was close enough to a nerve to cause any worry, and most likely that would be numbing for about three days, but even that didn't happen. Another one of my teeth was already ramming into the molar next to it (which explains why I would periodically get shots of pain while chewing on my left side.)

I saw the teeth, my dad took them. They are huge.
