Here's the deal: On Friday at 8:45 I'm going to have surgery to remove a wisdom tooth in the lower jaw. The rest of the day, my schedule is cleared for R&R. On Saturday, I'm going to work (cashier in grocery store) from 9 to 18, then I'm going to a party. Everyone says I'm insane to even work on Saturday. Of course those are the same pepole that told me vastly exaggerated horror stories before I had a wisdom tooth in the upper jaw pulled a few years ago, so I don't trust their judgement.
What kind of recovery time can I expect? My dentist only told me to take it easy for the rest of the day, but everyone else who have undergone the procedure say I'm going to need several days to recover.
I'm getting nervous here...
Oh, and I've never had surgery before. Can I eat breakfast before or is it better to do it on an empty stomach?
