Yesterday at 8:00 I got all four of my wisdom teeth out, and now i look like I’m chewing on a bunch of cotton balls. Except that my right side is much more swollen…so I’m lopsided. I do not want to go to school on Monaday looking like this! How long did it take you for your swelling to go down? ---

My sister got her wisdom teeth taken out in 1995. Her swelling had gone down within 4 days. In those 4 days I had so much fun at her expense. We went to check our mail and the post office and I screamed quick get his autograph! She turns around looking and says who? I said Teddy Kennedy he’s at our mailbox! I got hit for that one. When she was still groggy from the drugs I talked her into putting eyes on her chin and took pictures of her hanging off the back of the couch. It’s one of my favorite things. Needless to say when I get mine removed I shall hide from my sister! ---

My friend just got his out Monday. The swelling started to go down by Wednesday, and he’s pretty much back to normal today. So that’s 5 days for him (and was he ever getting sick of non-solid foods).
