What I remembered about my wisdom teeth (All 4, shoving inward, towards the front) being yanked when I was 32, was this:
#1.) Dull, numbing pain...offset by Tylenol III. - Big @55 pills, followed with a bit of water...
#2.) ANY FOOD that could be sucked (VERY LIGHTLY) through a straw and swallowed without having the stuff "flush" the inside of the mouth...didn't want any more "bacteria/petri dish" substances in the vacinity of the open wounds...
#3.) Did I mention the pain? Doubled the dosage of the Tylenol III. - Big @55 pills, followed with a bit of fire-water...
#4.) Cotton in the mouth - on the wounds...felt like Marlon Brando in the "Godfather" - and my mouth felt as big as Marlon Brando too...
#5.) Oh, in case I forgot to mention it...PAIN - FREAKING, IRITATING PAIN - "I WANT TO RIP MY JAW OFF AND GIVE IT TO MY WORST ENEMY!!!" PAIN...THAT DAMN TYLENOL III. COULDN'T ALLEVIATE THAT PAIN IF IT WAS SHOT FROM A GUN AND INTO MY MOUTH!!! "WILD TURKEY" WAS THE ALTERNATIVE...NO CHASERS, JUST "WT" - ONE SHOT EVERY FOUR PULSES OF PAIN...
( Self-medicating, for pain, is still the best way to handle that type of crap... )
#6.) I'm typing this...apparently, it worked.
( However, my liver may have something to say to me later! )
