I had my wisdom teeth out about two months ago, and this is just my experience (please keep in mind that I am a complete wuss when it comes to anything remotely painful). The first couple of hours suck hard, but then you will take a Vicodin and it will become your bestest friend ever. But if you have a lot of things to do, like eMentoring, you might want to hold off...it made me very drowsy and not really capable of holding a coherant conversation. Oh, and remember to ask your doctor what his/her policy is on Vicodin re-fills - mine didn't give me any and it was a very unpleasant surprise. The first day is really the worst...after that it becomes uncomfortable but bearable.
I hope I didn't scare you too much...please remember that I'm the kind of person who cannot stand pain, and that I'm a smoker who couldn't have any cigarettes after the surgery. Anyway, sorry for the rambling and good luck!
