@Oaktavia I would totally do the General Anesthesia (although I didn't) for the wisdom teeth. Had all four of mine done at the same time with a local...my kids will be put out as I don't want them to experience that.

Good luck!

@Oaktavia My twin had general anesthesia and everything went good for him. Not a lot of pain.

[Oaktavia]

@twin @goosehd yes, the local was horrible for my first three last time. They said all I would feel was "pressure" but I felt a heck of a lot more than that. From what I understand, GA means completely knocked out, no memory and waking up afterward? It will be my first time so I am pretty nervous.

@Oaktavia Yes it is you are OUT completely. Waking up you will not know it was done.

@Oaktavia I've had my wisdom teeth removed separately when they came through. Local anesthesia every time. First time was 9 am after seven nights on shift at the hospital, which meant I basically fell asleep in the chair. Every time has been "let's see how this one will come out, oh there it is already."

As for plans, my being half-English makes it easy, because we can open presents on Christmas Eve at the in-laws and Christmas Day at my parents.

Plans have been the same ever since my wife and I have been together.

• 23rd - drive to the in-laws

• 24th - make the wife and in-laws happy by attending church, then saure Zipfel (bratwurst cooked in a sour broth) with sauerkraut, then presents

• 25th - goose with potato dumplings at the in-laws for lunch, then drive to my parents for presents round 2 followed by turkey for dinner

• 26th - food coma

I don't know if I'll be able to make it on the 25th, but I will try.

@endo Feliz Cumpleaños y Navidad!!

[Oaktavia]

@twin music to my ears! That is exactly what I want to happen.

@Tago-Mago the Zipfel sounds awesome. I might have tried something like that when a German friend came to stay in the states for a while. She made some awesome food, whatever it was.

Making the wife and in-laws happy by doing things we don't want to do gives us points for later. I like earning those!

@Oaktavia dude your holiday itinerary is quite a roller coaster!

[dinobarnesberlin]

[goosehd]

@dinobarnesberlin That is awesome!!!

[Oaktavia]

@SKT yes indeed! I can't wait for the feeling after my tooth is out!

[Oaktavia]

@dinobarnesberlin BROOOO!

[tody]

@endo Happy Birthday!

[ROman]

@endo Wishing you a very Happy Birthday And a Happy Holiday season.

@Oaktavia I had all four removed with general anesthesia about 25 years ago and it wasn’t bad. Although, I was much younger then and bounced back pretty quickly.

[Oaktavia]

@seawolf I'm hoping that Just one tooth out with GA will be much easier than three with just local. I was traumatized!

[seawolf]

@Oaktavia that sounds like a nightmare!
