It was four weeks ago that I got my left wisdom teeth removed. To day it’s time for the right side. Everybody “hold their thumbs” from 2:45pm-3:30pm or so.

The first time around it went really well, so now I’m not so scared. I hope there won’t be any bad surprises. I don’t think there will.

What sucks the most is that I won’t be able to eat properly for a couple of days. Saturday will be the worst: getting by a full day on not much solid food.

Oh well, it’s not the end of the world, just a minor pain in the rear. It could be so much worse (more painful, etc.).

UPDATE: It turns out that my upper right wisdom tooth is almost completely buried under the gums. That means that the dentist needs more time than the allotted one hour to get them both out. Why he didn’t clue into that when I was there four weeks ago, I don’t know.

Anyways, he gave me the option to just get the lower tooth done and come back for the upper tooth at a later time or get them both done later. Since I didn’t feel like dealing with the whole only eating liquids thing, etc. for a third time, I chose to go in at a later time and get them both done then.

That’s going to be March 16 the way it looks right now.
