Well, yesterday morning I went to my oral surgeon and he pulled all 4 of my wisdom teeth. I was under general anesthesia, and pretty much slept most of the rest of the day, but today I've been pretty much up and around (considering the size of the wisdom teeth and how long it actually took to get them out of my mouth). It feels kinda weird in my mouth, and still hurts and is sore, but I actually expected it to be much worse (and my friend Ethan made it out to be much worse also). The whole procedure yesterday went pretty well, except when the anesthesiologist screwed up with the first IV line he tried to put in...he put it in the top of my hand (the other side of my palm) and apparently didn't get it all the way in...but didn't realize it until I told him and the nurse that it still hurt when it definitely shouldn't have anymore...they probably would have started operating on me if I hadn't mentioned something. Nah, actually the oral surgeon was really great (I mean, if I'm up and around the next day, he must be really good!). Anyway, it certainly wasn't the most fun thing I could have done yesterday, but all things considered, it didn't come off that badly...and if you think I'm exaggerating how hard my wisdom teeth were to get out, take a look at these pictures of one of them:
