Wisdom Teeth Removal: Pretty Much Unicorns and Rainbows
I learned something new about myself over the last 24 hours: I must be a complete badass. I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. Two of them, the top ones. And seriously? It was no big deal. The procedure and the recovery have been a piece of cake, which is not at all what I…
