Wisdom Teeth - Round 2

Kaitlyn had her wisdom teeth out yesterday. She is doing MUCH better than Kristen did. A couple of different factors - 1) she has a bigger mouth than Kristen to begin with; 2) she has a higher level of pain tolerance (she tried out for varsity cheer her freshman year in high school, tearing her hamstring in the process but finished the try-out, dragging her leg behind her and crying all the way - but she made the varsity squad!!) - plus at the level she skated, her falls were more often and from more difficult jumps, and from playing soccer against some MUCH bigger girls when she was in 5-6-7th grade. She may have cried but she got up and kicked some ass later; 3) bigger girl (larger bones, weighs more, taller, etc.); 4) two of her wisdom teeth had already come thru - they just had to be pulled; 5) the whole process for her was quicker. She also didn't have chipmunk cheeks like Kristen did, either. She hasn't taken much of her hard-core pain medicine. Kristen had practically downed all the prescription by the end of the 4th day. Glad they are both done now!
