Opted for a Cavity....

So, I got my last wisdom tooth extracted today---YIPPEE!! Oh so glad itis over and OUT and that is just a ONE time deal!! UGH!! Nightmare!!

They really weren't bothering me at all--just had a cavity in one and instead of getting it filled--my dentist and I visited and we decided it would probably be wise to just extract them before they start causing me grief---since they serve NO purpose anyway!!

So, I get home from the dentist today and Tyler wanted to see it. I opened my mouth and his eyes got REALLY BIG--he said--"Oh my--I think I would have just gotten the cavity!!" Then he ran off to play. At that point---I was thinking the same thing---way less painful!! Very SMART & FUNNY boy!!

All I have to say is I am HAPPY it's OVER and I am definitely LOVIN my Vicoden!! For some dumb reason---it's difficult to get my mouth 100% numb---so I had the privilege of feeling more than just the pressure and tugging!! Probably, if I were to do it all over again--I would have been put under--oh well, it's over and I saved us a little cash from not turning it into a whole surgery procedure--there is always a bright side to everything!! I have a great dentist--he really was WONDERFUL!!!

Ewww...I'm sorry! I did mine without being put under too. It's really not the smartest thing. Oh well! I hope you feel better soon!
