<p>JM,</p>
<p>I am glad that it is over. My daughter said she was glad that her grandfather took them out – She said he is the only one who she would have do it. She did not need pain med other than a single regular tylenol right before and right after. </p>
<p>Her roommate was swollen, bruised and on drugs for days and then got dry socket and had to have more surgery. </p>
<p>Since Grandpa is in Montreal it was an extra 12 hour drive in a 3 day weekend. We did 5 hours to get her on Wednesday and 9 hours home then TG at home 6 hours up Friday, Extractions saturday followed by 6 hours home and then 9 hours Sunday back to the academy for diving practice at 5PM. She said it was worth it not to be hurting and sick. I am just glad it is over.</p>
<p>I hope you have a real good dentist – although he is having it done at Christmas which gives you time to take care of him at home before sending him back – and he will be a third classman by that time which will make it easier than being a plebe.</p>
