8. Get my wisdom teeth taken out.

Crossing another item off my birthday list

OK, yuk it up. I know I look insane in this photo. I thought about taking a “real” picture, with me looking less pitiful and blurry. But then I thought, no, this is really what I looked/felt like yesterday after having those teeth pulled.

I went in thinking I was going to be sedated. But apparently it wasn’t on the books, so they offered me laughing gas. I neither laughed for felt gassed. I will say that I was terrified. The sounds of four teeth being broken will haunt my nightmares for some time. Thankfully my dentist was swift.

Ugh. Did you have your wisdom teeth taken out? If so, how was the experience?
