Wisdom teeth, ugh....poor Molly!!

Well Molly had an appointment with the dentist last week...she had been having quite a bit of jaw discomfort on her top teeth.  He took xrays and felt that it was probably related to her wisdom teeth.  She had no space really for them to come in.  We went in Friday morning at 7am, they gave her an iv (he missed the first time)  and conscious sedation.  She does remember some of the procedure though.  She's very uncomfortable, very swollen on the left side of her face and both edges of her lips are sore and cracked.  He gave her percocet so she spent yesterday just resting on our bed propped up on pillows.  Gingerale, flavored water and ice cream yesterday.  She did have scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning and some tuna and macaroni for lunch, a little soup for dinner with some more ice cream.  Still pretty darn sore and swollen.  Ice bags seem to help.  Poor kid!!  Another percocet after dinner and back to bed.
