Wisdom Teeth

For everyone that knew I was having my wisdom teeth out yesterday, it went well. I asked several people to pray. Most of you knew that I was pretty nervous, but God had grace and it went fine. I got an IV that put me to sleep through the whole thing. The oral surgeon put enough anestesia in my gums to last a couple hours. So by the time feeling came back to my mouth, I had taken some pain killers. My jaw is still very stiff and my gums are tender, but I have been able to eat soft foods with no trouble. I have stiches, so that makes me a little nervous about getting things caught back there. The bottom ones don't feel very tight and are hooked into my cheek tissue in the back. So they told me to keep my mouth "quiet" for a few days. It's been fine. Joe has helped me so much and Josiah has been a lot of fun. One nice thing about hydrocodon is that it really knocks me out. So I slept like a rock last night. The swelling hasn't been too bad. Just a tiny bit puffy on the bottom jaw bone. So there is an update for all of you. Thanks for those of you who prayed for me. I really was anxious for no reason.
