3.5 hours under the dental knife

I have been having crazy facial pain lately so we finally called my dentist as I knew I still had a wisdom tooth back there that hadn't come out nor had it been removed. So upon seeing the x-ray we could see it growing sideways into my other molars. We had only asked for an appointment this morning so we assumed it would be just a diagnosis, but they called in the surgeon and 3 and a half hours later my strange looking tooth was out. Apparently it was fatter on the bottom half than the top which made it very difficult to remove. They had to remove some bone with it, as it was very impacted. The only cool part is that it cost under 200 dollars. I was feeling pretty good until I got home and the freezing started to where off. For now it is back to the kind of pain that makes one want to punch themselves in the face! Hopefully not for long.(I took two T3's)
