    Yeah, I don't recommend doing too much. I had all four taken out at once (one of them even required a part of my jaw to be removed), so I was under as much pain as possible during the recovery period. Take it as if you have a fever and just rest in bed for a good while.

    Relax, watch something light like a comedy show or something like a Pixar/Dreamworks movie. If you get thirsty, drink from a straw. You might also have to spit out blood from time to time (I certainly had to, it was just morbid). Take things easy and you'll be fine. The worst part is already over, so you've got that much going for you!

    I wouldn't recommend comedies, cause laughing or smiling hurts too much. xD NO, NEO! You're not supposed to drink from straws. D: It's bad for you and can cause damage, like Chakra said.

    Also ew. Did the stitches not work for you? :/ I didn't bleed anywhere.

    Really? Hmm, my bad, I guess they never told me that one about not drinking from a straw. But then again, it was more than thirteen years ago for me, so eh... I might have forgotten. Sorry about that... v.v;;

    My wisdom teeth were coming in sideways, and they had to completely knock me out cold before they took all four of them out. They had to do in all four spots stitches and I was bleeding A LOT. Maybe I didn't keep the gauze in long enough, but it was pretty bad that first day and I highly doubted swallowing that blood would have been better than spitting it out.

    Maybe what I went through was not the same case as you guys.

    They didn't? We had a little "care" sheet to take home that had stuff we could and could not do, and the was one of the things written on what not to do. So it's totally fine, don't worry! c:

    Eew, that sounds pretty bad. 3: Swallowing blood is disgusting. Well mine weren't out yet so they just had to cut into the gum to get them out (top two) and then stitch 'em up. I have to see a specialist regarding my bottom wisdom teeth, to see if they can safely be taken out or not. But my jaw is so tiny, and my teeth are so big, there's no room for them to come through. So I have to get teeth taken out regardless.

    Will also probably need braces now. B'

    I had all four taken out, but they said don't drink from a straw or spit, because it'll cause the wounds to start bleeding again. I've been watching stuff all day though. I watched Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2 and I just finished Kung Fu Panda 2. Now I'm watching the incredibles.
