Wisdom Teeth Extraction - Day 0

Well it's not exactly Day 0 since it's past midnight already, but I guess it's still within 24 hrs, so... Anyway, got all 4 wisdom teeth extracted today. The procedure itself was rather painless. I only had local anesthesia, and I actually started to feel something by the time the oral surgeon was working on the 3rd teeth, so I told him and he gave me another shot and it was fine afterwards. The bottom 2 were more difficult. The surgeon said they were moving but they just wouldn't come out. He was trying to pull them so hard that he was sweating although it was pretty cold in there. The whole thing took maybe 30 mins. I got done at about 3:15pm. At about 5:30pm, the anesthesia started to wear off, so I took some Motrin. Then at 6:30pm I realized the Motrin wasn't helping (although I took 2 tablets already), so I ran to CVS to fill the prescription from the dentist. He prescribed me Tylenol with Codeine and some antibiotics. Thanks to the Codeine, I'm not in too much pain right now, and I'm not nauseous. I'm actually looking forward to the next pill! LOL.
So what did I have for dinner? Porridge with fish filet... no chewing, just swallow. I didn't take the medication till after dinner, so it was hurting a bit when I was eating. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. I have porridge that can last for another day or two, then maybe I'll move on to Campbell soup. I was reading about this topic on Chowhound, and milkshake and cheesecake sounds good! Maybe I'll go get some tomorrow!
