Okay, so you're probably wondering..."why is she blogging after she has four wisdom teeth out?" Well...because I chickened out. No, really. Actually due to my father, mother, mother-in-law, and my sister's call from med school late last night, I decided to wait and stick it out. I didn't realize that wisdom teeth had a function. They are supposed to be the "anchor" for all of your other teeth! If I started to take them out then it could shift my other teeth and eventually you're face can start looking different too! YIKES! My sister convinced me to at least get that panoramic x-ray and see what is going on with my wisdom teeth. I didn't realize that an impacted tooth can grow into a certain nerve and cause numbness in your lips too. Geesh!!! Really there's only one tooth that I really want to have taken out for sure. The dentist suggested to have all four out for balance sake. Okay this is not all official medical research but I do trust the advice of everyone mentioned. Soooooooo-I'm at a little bit of ease that I won't be unable to eat on one of my most favoritest (yes that's a word) holiday of the year. Thank God for family members putting their two cents in when not asked! HAHA! I just saved a couple thousand and possible face shifting because of it! :) Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have a better idea of what I need to do.

Have any of you had your wisdom teeth out? Did you find it beneficial? Leave a comment!

Some new news. I'm going to be taking a trip pretty soon. Very excited. I will share more details when things are official.

Oh! And the play I've been rehearsing for FOREVER is finally opening on January 15th at the In dy Apollo Theater in Washington Square mall. Click on the link for details.
