I had to have surgery on my chin because it was receding for some reason. They had to saw the jaw in 2 different places, then re-position it and hold it with wires. So, since I was already "knocked out" for this surgery, they extracted the 4 wisdom teeth at the same time. Double whammy. I ate soup for a week. The pain pills worked great for the mouth, but I had a very, very, very sore throat from the tube they put in during surgery. THAT was the worst part of all. The pain pills didn't help much for that. Go figure.
