So I gets my surgery today to remove my lower wisdom teeth. Things go pretty smoothly and I'm in an out in 30 minutes, no nasty side effects from the anesthesia, barely any pain (actually feels pretty good sometimes, but dull pain other times), no swelling, can move my jaw around just fine, etc. Surgeon was even nice enough to stitch the holes closed so I don't get food stuck in there or get dry socket. But... I can't feel my tongue, lower teeth, chin, or my lower lips! Feels like a dead weight hanging off my face. I can't speak or taste apparently either. Surgeon told me to wait a day or so and see how it goes, but he said it could be gone by the morning or it might take months for the feeling to come back, or it might not come back at all
I wondering now what life would be like if I become permanently mute without being able to taste anything. Maybe I can use it as an excuse to get strange tattoos or piercings on my face
. And the worst thing is I haven't had any good chocolate in a while and I'm getting a mega chocolate craving right now.
