Howdy do, Good evening, and all those niceties to you ALL tonight!
I made it! I'm alive and well! It was a piece of cake as opposed to what my mind was letting me think.

I wasted anxiety meds for nothing! All told, it took over an hour, but the actual tooth extraction took less than one minute, I swear! Between waiting, prepping, waiting some more, getting the novacaine, waiting even longer, and then, poof! Tooth gone. I'm on an antibiotic and prescription ibuprofen. I have a back up 'scrip for Tylenol 3, but I didn't even fill that yet, unless I need it. The oral surgeon called (while I was exercising) and left a message just checking on me. (Awwwww)

I'm on a soft, warm food diet and can't brush or rinse for 24 hours. After that, it's regular diet and brushing, but salt water rinses for a few days. Any swelling and/or bruising will show up in a few days, and last anywhere from 7-10 days. So far, I'm good to go tho!

Thank you ALL for your good wishes!
I wonder how much the Tooth Fairy leaves for an adult Wisdom tooth?
Ann, how wonderful to have your DD and her family moving closer to you! That must be a very happy occasion! Enjoy!!!
BP, when you mentioned Wally, I was remembering the Beaver's brother Wally, and I got ALL confused!

Not that I'm old enough to have seen these original shows, but thanks to reruns, I know a bit of what you speak.

So, I'll have to take your word on the Wally Plumstead part. (Sounds like Bumstead, too. Oh never mind, that's ANOTHER show!) LOL
Lots to do tonight, I'll check back in a bit.
