The Power of Positive Painkillers
Against all expectations, I'm not hurting. It probably hurts less now than it did before I got the teeth cut out...
Of course, I'm also just a little loopy (not tremendously, but maybe two drinks short of sober) and I'm really not up to eating anything crunchy, heh. But I was braced for much worse than this - the last time I helped someone out after they had wisdom teeth out, he was literally pounding the walls because of how much he hurt. I've always had a good pain tolerance, though, thank goodness.
Update: Was loopy enough not to hit "post" above. A few hours later, pain medication still doing the trick pretty well. Spent a lovely evening with my dear mother, working on a jigsaw puzzle.
Should be back up and running by Monday

Yeah, when I had mine out in 2004 it wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared. Barely even touched the pain prescription, actually, though that was more because I tend to be really stubborn about taking painkillers.
Out of curiosity, did they do they surgery under general or local anesthetic?

I had braces as a teenager, and my orthodontist looked at the X-rays and said, when my wisdom teeth came through, I was going to be in for a world of hurt. So they actually took out my rear molars then instead.
Never liked my orthodontist much, but I have to say, my wisdom teeth came through without so much as a twinge.

Same diagnosis as Pixy, different cure...
They cut into my gums, broke the wisdom teeth into pieces, and extracted them before the wisdom teeth could push through and mis-align all my newly-aligned teeth.
...yes, I slept through that procedure.
