wisdom tooth extraction

There is very little preparation you can have for a wisdom tooth operation, unless you have prior experience because the experience varies amongst patients. Since you are a unique patient, then someone else's experience has little worth to you.

So, I learnt the hard way. The operation was quick but the pre and post op waiting was long. Not that it created more suspence but it irks me when I have to wait when there is little of a queue.

The worst part of the wisdom tooth op is the recovery stage. I felt so weak that same night of the op I could not bear to read anything. I woke up the next morning with a mumps-like right cheek and a half bleeding right jaw. I feel like a drug addict from the quantity and frequency of drugs I need to sustain my energy for the day.

As I have mentioned earlier, though my advice to anyone who is getting their (impacted) wisdom tooth removed is invalid, knowing of pre and post op experiences from others can somehow increase the rate of your recuperation- when you know that there's someone on earth who is going through more hell than you are.
