A Wisdom Tooth Update

The surgery went well. Recovery is slow. But it's only the first day. My mouth hurts and my jaw is really tight. The surgery took about an hour. My bottom left tooth was pretty difficult to get out I hear. I have a slight case of TMJ so holding my mouth open for so long was not good for me. Jim dropped my off at my mom's after surgery and she has taken wonderful care of me, helping me change my guaze and switching out my ice packs. God bless her. She is so good to me. She also took care of my kids too. I'm praying I sleep well tonight. I plan on taking some hydrocodene to help me sleep tonight. Thank you so much for your prayers. I really, really, really, appreciate them.

Dr. B gave me my teeth and they are HUGE! Would you be grossed out if I took a picture of them and posted them on here?

Glad your surgery went well. I still can't open my mouth as wide as I used to - and I hear it takes a long time to get that mobility back. Be sure to do salt water rinses...that helped a lot with soreness!! Please take a picture of your teeth. I never got to see mine.
