Wisdom Teeth


That's right - early this morning, I went to the dentist and had my wisdom teeth removed.

It wasn't too bad. Once he sedated me and gave me the IV, I was out. The next thing I really remember is waking up on my bed with a bunch of gauze in my mouth and ice packs on my cheeks. :P

Now that it's over, I just have to take the antibiotics and pain medicine. The next couple of days will probably be kind of painful, so if you could say a prayer for me, I'd really appreciate it! I still can't swallow pills (ah, frustrating!), so I'm having to take some yucky liquid medicine. Oh well. I'm just glad that's even an option!

Anyway, I have some pictures to share with y'all from a little "4th of July" day trip we took, but that will have to wait. Hopefully it won't take me too long to recover from this and get back to my normal life! :)

Love and Blessings,
~ Lindsay

I just had my wisdom teeth taken out last month, so I know how icky that can be! I am glad that your sedation went well... I wasn't as lucky and didn't react so well to the laughing gas...


I will definitely be praying for you! Eat lots of soft foods (Jello became my best friend that week!) and treat yourself to some movies and tv shows :)

Blessings!

So glad it went well! Praying for you! :)

Hannah said...

I've heard how painful that can be - hope you're feeling better!

Ella said...

I had mine taken out on Dec 22 '09. I was pretty much normal about a week later. The worst part for me was having to clean the "holes" with warm salt water.

God bless,

Ella

Oh, snap! I get my wisdom pulled TOMORROW! What a coincidence, no? Well, I'm glad it went good for you! Praying! (Pray for me too!!)

Lauren Brittany {A Corner Pillar} said...

awwww Lindsay! :( I'll be praying for a swift recovery.

I had mine out two years ago, so I can definitely relate! It took me about two weeks to start feeling almost normal, but I've heard of other people only needing two days! (I hope you're one of those people ;) You know, I think I even blogged about it... Yup. http://acornerpillar.blogspot.com/2009/07/all-is-getting-well.html
Reading back over that made me laugh... Obviously, the medication they'd given me that day was still working well.

Feel better, okay?!

Love,
Lauren

Ellie said...

Kristin said...

I'm glad that everything went well! I didn't have much pain or swelling (I couldn't take the pain medicine- it made me sick), so hopefully you won't, either! :) I'll be praying that you have a quick recovery.

Hannah said...

Awww, my poor girl!! =) I remember that WAY to clearly! Only I had eight wisdom teeth. Yeah... weird, right? Well, they took all eight out and now I weight five pounds less!! jk, jk, jk.... but seriously, they did take eight teeth out so I can totally feel for you!! And I know precisely how to pray! =)

Hi Lindsay!

Oh dear... I will definitely be praying for your swift recovery! I hope you feel better very soon!

Thanks for the blog comment! You are such a sweet friend. I've really missed being a part of the blog world too - I'm glad life isn't too busy now and I'm able to blog again! :D

Lindsay, I sent you an email to what I thought was your new address... did you get it? It was about a blog button. :D *hint*- inspect my blog sidebar and see if you spot anything that looks like your blog. :D

Hugs,
Julia

Lindsay said...

Oh, you're welcome! ;) Let me go check my email. I have so many different ones (I really need to delete a couple of accounts), but I think I know which one you have. :D

Thanks for your comments, girls! :)

Lindsay

Alexandra! said...

I hope you start to feel better! :)
Can't wait to see pics of the fourth of July! :)

Katherine said...

Oh i wish i had seen this earlier! Hope you are doing okay now - wisdom teeth are no fun at all...but it's okay because you only have to go through it once :)

Much love to you, and safe healing.
