Today Steve had his 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled. He is now on high doses of pain killer and they must be working b/c he is downing lots of chocolate shakes and pudding and Dan-ups. So bear with me on the wisdom teeth pulling memories: Dan did it his freshman year of college, and returned to his dorm room after. I should be shot for not being there! Seth also did it in the US, but at least went to Suzanne's afterwards and had some motherly care, BUT his pain killer was placebo, so he suffered! Jake did it at the one day clinic, same place as Steve, same Doctor. Also all 4 impacted. Natalie only had 2 wisdom teeth to pull. Did it here, same place, same Dr. Then Nicole. She was in a rush, so had to do it in the Dentist office under local anesthesia, and had mono on top of it!
I did it after I had 4 kids. Didn't see the light of day for 3 days. When I emerged, Tom had things pretty much in control, but he said I looked like death warmed over.
So why are they called wisdom teeth? I'm thinking a new name, help me here Heidi b/c you are the master at this. Misery teeth, mess up my life for a week teeth, death teeth. Ewe teeth. Why wisdom???

Torture teeth? I don't know, I'm not very creative. Poor Steve! Actually, poor everybody. I count my lucky stars that I never had an torture teeth come in.
Aw. Poor Steve. Wisdom teeth really stink. I had mine out when Daph was one and it was horrible. Really horrible. Best of luck for a speedy recovery. :)
He really reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite in that 2nd picture. Wisdom teeth are no fun. My favorite thing to eat when I got mine out were the apple sauce packets.
