Why Take OUT the Wisdom?

Teeth---that is. Yesterday, Devin had all 4 wisdom teeth... leaving him.......... ummm...... wisdomless? Just kidding Devin! He had 2 that were partially in, 1 barely coming up and 1 impacted. They only worked on him for a mere 20-30 min to get all that done. Now comes the fun part!

This picture was taken just AFTER they were taken out....and here come the funnies!


First of all--he HAD to have the hat back immediately--even though he was suppose to be laying down. The phone came next---INSISTING he needed to text. Wow...sorry to whomever he was texting...hope it made sense! Then they asked him to lay on his right side. Well, Devin having had a little medical training, points to his head and says "recovery position....I remember". Well....I'm getting a good kick out of him, but it's not over yet!

He says "Wow, I just had a POWER nap!" and then..."give me my coat." Well----considering that he can't actually put it ON and he has 2 blankets anyway...and I'm FREEZING....I say "no..you're ok" to which he responds " I paid for that coat with my OWN money." Wow was he out of it. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. He wanted to sit up within 10 min and was bugging me to go home. When they wheel him out to the car in a wheelchair, he says "I'm actually feeling just fine---I can drive if you want." HA! Fat chance buddy!


Here he is today---not really too swollen! He's doing pretty good and not feeling much pain. Matter of fact---he's bouncing off the walls.

HAHAHA...sadly, my mom didn't bring a camera when I got my wisdom teeth removed.
Such a lucky kid to have such a great mom to capture every moment of his removal...and then to post it on the internet for him.
I am thoroughly jealous. :)

Hey, he is looking too good to just have had his wisdom teeth out, no bruising, swelling. Hope the recovery continues to go well.
