Diary of a kid lacking wisdom teeth

Now that I've had the experience, I would like to share some tips with all my good friends who will have to endure this in the future.

1. EAT. First few days, I couldn't really eat, so I just didn't but then I got all weak and lost 10 pounds and I could barely walk. I really don't know how anorexic people do it... I want real food so bad right now. After 6 days, I am pretty done with liquids. But seriously, get some food in your gullet and you will feel much less...wobbly

2. Don't fall behind on your pain killers! Codeine will not make most people very high contrary to popular belief and if you follow the dosing, you won't just suddenly get addicted so don't be afraid of it or something. IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC.

3. Speaking of pills, take the disgusting antibiotics, no matter how hard they are to swallow. Blech they're like horse pills

4. Only be a vegetable for like 2 or 3 days. Then you have to get up and drop the icepacks so the swelling will go down. Unfortunately, even after going to school I am still a chipmunk, fuck.me.

5. Speaking of icepacks, keep those babies on for the first 48 hours. They help pain, but mostly they just keep the swelling down a bit.

6. DO THE NASTY RINSE. You don't want no infection. I'll smack a bitch if I get one. That being said, I needa go take my antibiotic! Wahoo!
