AW!! You'll be fine!!!!
I had mine pulled on March 20 and really it was no big deal at all. I had four of them, all impacted and the surgery took about 45 minutes to an hour. The only thing that made me even remotely queasy was the laughing gas and it just made me feel like I was going to pass out... they turned it off and a few seconds later I felt fine. When I woke up I was freezing and couldn't walk a straight line, but I was never nauseated from the anesthetic at all.
As for meds, I took 2-3 advil every four hoursand it worked perfectly. It's not easy to take them when you're still numb because all the water just pours back out of your mouth, but try your very best to take some pain meds. as soon as you get home so when the numbness wears off you'll be good. Other than that, stick to soft foods. Mashed potatoes and jello, applesauce, and creamed soups were all I ate for almost a week, then I progressed a little each day after that. Don't suck through a straw for a week, or play with the sites with your tongue at all and if you smoke, def. don't do it for at least 4 days as you don't want dry sockets. Theygenerally suggestice cream but I'd recommend not having any dairy (Ice cream, yougurt, milkshakes, etc...) for at least24 hours as having blood in your stomach mixing with dairy can upset your tummy faster than anything. Trust me there... I learned my lesson seeing as I've had 12 baby teeth and 9 permanent teeth pulled for braces!
Other than that... you might have a bit of swelling, use ice on your face and you'll be okay. I really didn't have much pain at all and the stitches fell out after a couple of days and they were fine ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.png)
GOOD LUCK!!! YOU'LL DO GREAT!!!!!!

Giving up doesn\'t always mean that we are weak. Sometimes it just means that we are strong enough to let go.
