There was a fight this weekend. Floyd Mayweather won yet another boxing match in Las Vegas. I may not have been in the ring with Floyd Mayweather but my mouth certainly feels like it. This weekend was spent laid up in the house. I was in full recovery mode. I had my wisdom teeth removed. Based on the pain, you couldn’t tell me I didn’t just go a few rounds in the ring with a prize fighter. My mouth feels like someone knocked me out and took a couple of my teeth in the process.
I wanted to ask the oral surgeon for my teeth to put under my pillow. I feel like the tooth fairy should be hooking me up for this.
I’ve had enough soup and yogurt to last me the rest of my life. I’m just ready for this throbbing in my jaw to go away.
I’m dreaming of the days of my full recovery. Here are the top seven things I’m looking forward to when my mouth and I are getting along again.
Being pain free
Eating a salad
Munching on trail mix
Enjoying a little bit of meat with my meal
Being done with pain killers
Not being hungry
Sleeping all night without waking up in pain
My face being normal and not swollen
Have you had your wisdom teeth removed?
P.S. Happy Cinco de Mayo! Guess who won’t be having any chips with my guacamole? Lame!

I used to visit Smoothie King and get the immune builder. It has protein so I was never hungry and it has vitamins for healing. Hope you feel well soon.

I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 19 or 20 and it was far worse than having either one of my kids. What a miserable experience.

Hope you are starting to feel better. I’ve had wisdom teeth removed in the past. I think they healed pretty quickly.
we never did the tooth fairy actually. The 1st tooth only was placed under the pillow but it was always very light hearted and the kids always knew it was us

Ouch! I had mine removed back when I was 18. I only remember being sick from whatever they used to put me under.

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted years ago. It was a painful experience. I really feel for you! Before long though, you won’t hardly even remember having it done! I promise, you’ll be able to eat solids again…very soon!

OH dear – I had all four out at once. It was something else. I felt better pretty fast, though.

I have had mine removed. I feel for ya.
Sorry for your pain. I had mine removed as well. Memories of squirting water where the teeth were to keep the area clean. Good times!!

I had four wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. But my dr gave me the best drugs EVER! I swear I was up and about the next day with minimal swelling. One thing he told me that I try to tell everyone else: for the first day or 2 sleep sitting up or propped up. The swelling isn’t half as bad.

Ugh! I am so sorry. At age 34, I still have all of my wisdom teeth, and I’m terrified every time I go to the dentist that I’ll be told I need them taken out.
You don’t want to hear about my experience, it was awful. I ended up with two black eyes. I look like I got into a fight with the dentist. It was awful!

Hugs. I had mine cut out two years ago. Not fun. We’ll be having our kids removed when they are teens whether they need it or not just so they don’t have to deal with them as adults.

Ugh, I am so sorry. It is just so painful. Feel better soon!

I had ALL of my wisdom teeth removed at once right after I had my daughter. They were all impacted and I remember it being the worst pain I had ever experienced. UHHHH I hope you feel better soon!

I had them removed when my kids were 2 1/2 and 1 1/2. I was pretty out of it for a couple of days but my hubs took good care of me and the kids.

I really hope you are feeling better. Over the years (like between 17-19) I had to get them all removed. It was so not funny. I totally understand what you’re feeling. At the time my food of choice was mashed potatoes and gravy and pudding. Of course you can have anything that’s been effectively purreed. But the moment I was in the clear, the first thing that I are was pretzels. Hope you get everything your craving 🙂
Gah, I meant to say when I was 17 to 19 years old. Not over 17-19 years. That’s what I get for typing when I’m tired hahahaha.
I had mine removed when I was a teen. I remember having to live on soft foods and as a teen that is almost the end of teh world LOL
