i've lost my wisdom...
teeth that is...so after my month of "surviving the italians" - i took a week off and instead of going out and relaxing - i got my wisdom teeth taken out *in my boss' words "boy you sure know how to party"* all 4 teeth and i didn't get knocked out. my dentist froze my mouth (i didn't think to ask first, i just assumed everyone gets knocked out) and i was wide awake for the entire jaw-bashing experience...this is the wierd thing that i've always wondered - why do dentists try to have conversations with you when you're elbow deep in your mouth trying to wrench your teeth out? i can't answer you without biting you!!!
i think i'm a little grouchy from the meds and the silly food choices...

I didn't get knocked out either. Nobody asked me. I didn't even know it was an option. But it was fun. Especially the crunching noise. :)
hey rosy,
i did get put under...
you're put under general anesth. and that's a really big deal...
you have to get it done at a hospital
and they put you on morphene
and your recovery time is much much much much longer =(
and there's always the risk of complications under general anesth.
so while not very pleasant thing to have to sit through, it's still usually a better option than being put under.
cheers,
