Seansmom...It seems like it has been months since I last saw my son. Yes, I read that this is the week they get their wisdom teeth pulled! :(

Sean was actually looking forward to having a couple days SIQ. It's pretty bad when they don't mind having their wisdom teeth out, JUST to get the time off.

That is true...at least they are getting rest and pain meds!!!

When I got my wisdom teeth out in bootcamp, we got 1 day SIQ and were given Tylenol with Codeine. They actually woke us up to go to chow....like I could eat anything??

Seansmom, some have already gotten their wisdom teeth pulled as early as last week.. I know my son was supposed to get his pulled when he was home, but didn't do it. He said he would get it done at BC. I spoke to him on Saturday and he said he went to the dentist already and they told him that they were not taking his wisdom teeth out just yet...so he just got a cleaning... Happy to know he didn't get them out.. i was worried...
