This article is dedicated to my sore mouth and four wisdom teeth that are currently sitting in a mini manila envelope on my desk. Here's to being a little less wise!

Day One

1. I feel fine!

That's the drugs talking.

2. I can't feel anything.

Is that my tongue or my lips?

3. I want a milkshake!

I just had major oral surgery. I think I deserve a trip to Cookout.

4. Give me my pain meds!!

As soon as the numbing medicine wears off.

Day Two

5. I better not get a dry socket.

Not trying to deal with that.

6. Swish with salt water? Ugh...

My mouth tastes like salt 24/7.

7. I'm just gonna eat ice cream for every meal.

I deserve it.

Day Three

8. I would do anything to eat normal food!

My diet has consisted or yogurt, soup and ice cream for the past three days and I am getting extremely hangry.

9. If I have to swish with salt water one more time I swear I'm going to throw up.

This sucks.

Day Four Or As Late As Week Three

10. No more pain! I'm healed!!!!

It's about time.
