Wilton: How to Deal with Wisdom Teeth Recovery

Even though I spent most of the day at home, my mom and I ran managed to briefly run out for Robeks smoothies and other errands. 

After nearly completing another day of post-wisdom teeth surgery, the only way to summarize this experience is composing a few "to-do" and "what-not-to-do" lists. If you have not yet had your wisdom teeth removed, pay close attention.
