The Mouth Is A Terrible Thing Not To Taste

So, at 40 years old, I need a wisdom tooth out that has been giving me trouble. I never really had any issues with my 3rd molars until now, which sucks.  I decided to just yank them all so I don't have to deal with anything like this again in the future.
Here they are. The one is pretty narsty. The surgery went well. This was the first time I went under general. No big deal really. Minimal pain during recovery time. The worst part of this ended up being a damaged nerve on my passenger side. Basically, I have no sense of taste on the right side of my tongue, which is pretty annoying.  I think it is healing though, ever so slowly. They say nerves heal .5mm per day. Sucks.
Tuna had almost all her decayed teefs out a few years back.
Luigi also had 14 teeth out recently.  His were pretty rotted as well. We called him Garbage Mouth for a while. Now his breath is much sweeter.
