Wisdom Teeth, Part 3

We're done!!!! No one in our household has wisdom teeth. The last ones were removed a week ago. And this was by far the easiest of the three (or five) - at least for me. I'm sure Daughter B would disagree since she was the one in pain, but her extractions were normal. Her reaction to the medication was normal. Her recovery was normal. Really almost boring when you think about it, and for that I am grateful. She doesn't really remember the conversations we had while she was "under the influence" but she didn't say or do anything terribly funny or embarrassing so that's okay. She didn't cost me a fortune because she only had four teeth and they were near the surface. She didn't get too swollen or bruised because she was good about putting the peas (the Wilkinson version of an ice pack) on her  tender cheeks Getting her to eat solid foods has been a bit of a challenge, but like when she was little I know that when she gets hungry she'll eat. She says the hardest part is not being able to drink from a straw - who'd a thunk?
