Ah, Marilyn! Poor you, with those teeth having to come out. I haven't had all four taken out, but, have had two at a time taken out. I **think**you will be okay, with some pain medication, lots of ice, and icecream! I think it is always the worrying before hand that is the worst part. So, get some fave ice cream stored away, some nice drinks in the fridge, a few magazines, and prepare to rest, rest, rest. I think I would save the outback for two weeks or so later. Then, you can REALLY enjoy the yumminess.

Good luck!

I have had two wisdom teeth pulled, (only two of them ever came in. Those were not pulled at the same time. I did not have surgery; just Novicane (sp) in the dentist's chair.

I had all four done in the hospital at once. It took a week before I could eat solid food again--just soup and squishy stuff at first! And boy did I eat for that first meal! We drove out to a isolated Lodge that serves the biggest meals I've ever seen. Their cinnamin buns are made in pie plates!!!:eek: It was great!! I'd push the Outback dinner back a couple days, but I have a friend who had all four done and went for burgers that night!!Maybe you'll be like her!
