Dear Lucy,
I get my
wisdom teeth out tomorrow and I’m really scared because I’ve never had any kind
of surgery. What if I don’t wake up from the anesthesia? Or what if I get dry
sockets? What am I supposed to eat? HELP!

Dear Malone,
Getting
your wisdom teeth out can be a scary thought but it’s nothing to stress over.
Your doctor does this for a living and will make you as comfortable as
possible. You won’t feel a thing while they are taking your teeth out so you
don’t have to worry about that but you will wake up. The nurses do a fantastic
job of keeping you calm and they are very supportive. Your doctor will tell you
ways to avoid dry sockets so just make sure you listen when they tell you.
Avoid using straws and drinking soda. Applying pressure to your gums can cause
you to pull your stitches out which can be very painful. Also, the acid in soda
can irritate your gums. As far as eating goes, stay away from solid foods.
Stick to mashed potatoes and applesauce then eventually move onto foods like
mac n cheese or ramen noodles! Take it easy for a few days and sleep as much as
you can!
I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Dear Lucy,
I am a high
school gym teacher and I have an extremely rowdy class that I absolutely cannot
control. How can I discipline them without writing every single one of them up?

Dear Coach,
It’s awful
that your students don’t respect you. If you really can’t get their attention,
then make them run or do push ups. Every time someone back talks to you make
them drop and give you 20! If someone doesn’t do what you say make them run two
laps. If physical punishment doesn’t work and they don’t catch on then it is
time for a write up.
I
hope your student’s start listening to you!
~Lucy
