Wisdom Teeth

So my wisdom teeth were removed this morning. I was a bit nervous beforehand, because the oral surgeon had never met me, and he didn't want my x-rays before I came in this morning.
In the end, the surgery only took 30 minutes or so to remove 3 teeth. Really really fast. The anesthesia stopped working about two hours after the surgery, which meant I couldn't feel the entire bottom of my face...
After the drugs wore off, I was in pain. Today has been so weird because of this...i've eaten half a bowl of mashed potatoes, as well as half a bowl of chocolate pudding (the only kinda of chocolate I like). Needless to say, I'm hungry, but eating is just so painful.
I've also been really really tired. I slept for about 6 hours or so this afternoon, and I'm still really tired. I bet it's the drugs. I'm on some kind of vicodin alternative, and i'm not really a big fan. "Meperidine" mildly retards the on set of pain, but it makes me tired, cranky, and even a little bit nausious.
Anyway, I'm tired...I'll give more updates later, when I'm semi-coherent.
