wow - sorry this is happening Kel.
how are you going to be able to get time off work for this procedure?

I had mine out when I was 17 the summer b/n my Jr and Sr years. Mine were impacted. IT SUCKED! My cousin was eating pizza hut pizza that nite. I couldn't eat real food for a week and when I did I had to smash it up and shove it in b/n my mouth b/c my jaw wouldn't open. My sister and brother in law had it done the summer before a couple weeks apart and my bro in law spit out a bunch of bloody gauze and MY SISTER passed out!
My mom fed me ice cream and I would totally NOT reccommend that - the milk products hitting the blood in my stomach caused me to throw up like no other! She said afterward as I'm sitting there with my head in the dishpan - "oh yea - your sister threw up after I gave her ice cream also" gggaaah!

The first day after surgery my jawline swelled up - the 2nd day my upper cheeks swelled up and the 3rd day my whole face swelled up! I remember taking an old syringe in putting them in the holes and cleaning them out for awhile but not too long, I think what bothered me the most was the stitches before they dissolved. I was playing with them with my tongue all the time.
Good luck to you my friend and keep us posted!
