My mom scheduled mine for 2 days before Christmas my senior year. I ate a lot of mashed potatoes that year. . .

That was cruel!
She knew what she was doing. We were going to be on a bus for 12 hours (six each way), plus six hours at Disneyland, and while she knew she’d be very unpopular with her daughter if she forbade her from going - not to mention that the trip had already been paid for months earlier - I’m also dead certain she understood that being 2 days post-op, there would be no shenanigans. She was mostly right.

I understand. I just missed one day of school and a ski weekend and was okay with all of that despite the social pressure to go skiing.
Our trip to the world’s happiest place 50 years ago involved a one hour flight each way to and from Anaheim and an overnight at the park. All prepaid, it cost me $125 of well earned babysitting $. One of those darlings gave me chicken pox and I missed the whole trip. I managed to get through graduation, tho with a minimum of discomfort. It was my second round of it and a much lighter case.
Just back from my wisdom tooth extraction. It wasn’t pleasant and now I’m lying down trying not to drool blood on my shirt…
Thanks again to everyone for your tips above. I read through the posts earlier this week and went to the supermarket yesterday to stock up on relevant items to see me through the Easter weekend of recovering from the procedure. As my ‘last supper’ I had a filet o fish from McDonald’s with some french fries tucked inside.

After most any dental, surgical, or other procedure of significance, I like Manhattans without cherries. Not a prescription but fine for me.
