Wisdom Teeth

I am not sure why we have wisdom teeth, but it would make sense that they should not have to be removed. Anyway, I had mine out last Thursday. All four were taken out at one time, which I think is probably better than doing it in stages. Needless to say I was out of it for a few days. I did manage to take Lauren to the Fall Festival at church on Halloween for about 30 minutes. More on that later. I thought I might starve to death after having these teeth out. A liquid diet is not great after 2 days. I need more substance. I finally moved up to mashed potatoes and then chicken and dumplings. I managed to eat pasta with meat sauce last night and garlic bread. It looks like everything is on track with the healing and hopefully I will be back to normal soon. I must say that I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for my mom and stepmom. They took care of Lauren for several days while I was on some great pain meds. I am looking forward to moving on and putting this all behind me.
