My Bento Box

Hello fellow Neoseekers!

As I sit here, I cannot help but dwell on the fact that in 15 hours or so, I shall be having four of my teeth surgically torn out of my face. Okay, well really it's not that gruesome! The time has come for me to get my wisdom teeth removed. Finally I might add, I made this appointment nearly five months ago. I'm not too nervous as I have had two mouth surgeries before where they have removed teeth (yay, the joy have orthodontics and all things that come along with it!), I'm just more so cringing at how empty my wallet is going to be after the procedure. I've already stocked up on soups and puddings and the like for the assuredly painful days that are to follow. The oral surgeon told me that the top of one's mouth heals quite quickly, it's the bottom which causes you all the pain. He took a look at my xrays and luckily there is no chance of them hitting the nerve during surgery that runs along one's bottom jaw, but my teeth are close enough to it that the swelling will put pressure on it and my lips will be numb for a while. That sounds like a barrel full of fun!

So, I'd like to hear about your wisdom teeth experiences if possible. How long did it take for your mouth to feel in decent shape again? What sort of medication did they give you (yes, I am curious about that! :o).

I hope that one day humans will evolve to no longer need wisdom teeth, because they are pointless and make wallets cry.

By the way, I switched back to being pink again. I just adore pink too much, plus the protesters attacked me. I'll leave purple to Quierta from now on!
