Teresa Wed 5/18/11 #59 Bingo!
I am awake! Starting it now, should be up in a bit! Three hours later! Here it is.
Spell check might have messed up some words, I will check later. Also, really light on vocab, sorry, I was rushing! Off to the dentist. Also, expect me to possibly be MIA for a few days. I'm getting my wisdom teeth out! All four!
Rubigote’s office, Teresa vs. Paloma and Martin-
T: You’re now talking to the newest partner of Luna Turquesa!
P: What the—how? How are you a partner in Luna Turquesa?
T: My future hubby bought some of the shares from Ruben and put them in my name. You know this poor guy is divorcing and who knows how his economic situation will work out with Maira… though I hope he does sort it out. [Up walks Genoveva.] Genoveva, how are you?
G: Trying to go on with my life.
[Fernando walks up. Tere greets him with a big smile and a kiss on the cheek.]
T: Look, I present to you, my associates. [Gen looks like she might choke. Teresa introduces them all by name, except Martin. He calls her on it and she introduces him begrudgingly. She walks away arm in arm with Fernando and Paloma tells Gen about Arturo’s air-headed move.]
Outside the Vecindad, Aida and Espe-
Aida is sure she has seen Espe somewhere but she can’t remember where. Espe says she was the nurse who tended to Paulo. Aida apologizes for not remembering, she was so out of it. Espe tries to walk away but Aida asks her name. She tells her and Aida says she will be the coordinator of the clinic, so she’ll see her around. Aida leaves and Espe rubs her tummy nervously.
Clinic, Aurora and Mariano-
M: How did you first rounds go?
A: They went well. I survived. I know what I need to do and everything will be fine.
M: I’m glad. You know, if you ever have a doubt about anything, you can call me, right?
A: Thanks, but I’m not going to bother you Mariano.
M: Why not? You don’t trust me? Or… it will make your boyfriend jealous?
A: Relax. Not either of those things. I simply just don’t want to bother you. And Martin has no reason to be jealous of you, right?
M: No, no, clearly not you and I, we are just friends. [Come on Mariano, grab her passionately and plant a big one on her! Oh, Aida’s here.]
Aida: Look! [She holds up some card things.] We’re going to organize a lottery tonight to give out awards, waivers, and gifts! [Aurora
Ruben’s office, All the other partners of Luna Turquesa, Martin included, with Fernando running the meeting-
Fernando passes out some papers and they are talking business-speak but the important part is that Teresa and Fernando are sort of secretly making eyes at one another. Then Teresa says something and Fernando says Teresa is right. Ruben and Gen stink face to each other. Paloma gives Tere a big old stink face. Fernando and Arturo look lovingly (lustingly) at Teresa and she smiles.
Clinic, Mariano and Juana walks in with lunch-
She says she has the food for him and Aurora, but Mariano corrects her and says today it is for him and Aida, who walks into the room. Juana can’t believe she has the gumption to show her face here. Aida explains that she is here to work in the clinic and help people. Juana doesn’t believe it because from what she knows of Aida, she is the exact opposite. Aida, sounding like a real, understanding human being, says that after Paulo died everything changed for her. She knows is difficult for the people close to Tere to believe her but she hopes that they will see her work and come to trust her. Mariano explains that she is helping with a lot of stuff that Aurora
Casa de la Barrera, Teresa and Arturo-
T: Thanks, my love, for making me your associate.
A: Consider it a wedding gift. [clink, they cheers.]
T: I am so happy. With you I have what I have always wanted. [Arturo seems to flinch at this.]
A: What do you mean by that? (A que te refieres con eso?)
T: That you are intelligent, gorgeous, admirable, [kissing], above all, meticulous/a perfectionist, sensitive. (Or maybe she meant sensitive to details?) And you always give me what I need, like what you did today. [kissing, kissing, kissing] You are incredible, my love, so generous. Thank you. And thank you for trusting me to be your associate. It’s true, I am so happy at your side.
A: As a lawyer, the first thing I say to clients is NOT to do what I did.
T: but you trust me.
A: Blindly, Teresa. (Ciegamente, Teresa.)[Ain’t that the truth!!] Because I know you love me, and you will never betray me. [Oh, boy.]
Clinic, Mariano, Juana and Aida-
Mariano says he is not going to turn down any help in the clinic, they need it. (Wow, Mariano said that?) Plus, he believes that everyone deserves a second chance. Please. Juana doesn’t look convinced. Aida says, look, I’ll just eat somewhere else. End of story. Juana says that no one will ever accept her here. Aida says she is sorry for what she did. She wants them to realize that. Juana says, you’re sorry, huh? Well, then, have you asked Teresa to forgive you? Aida says, no, no I haven’t, after the momentary shock passes. Juana says she needs to.
Casa Grumps, Pati, Grumps, Maid-
I just wanted to talk to Johnny, Pati says. I don’t trust him, Grumps says. You’re not gonna change my mind. Why do you hate me? Asks Pati. The opposite, says Grumps. One day you’ll understand.
Casa Chavez, Refugio and Teresa-
Ref asks if she is going to the clinic thing tonight. Teresa says she would die first, it’s organized by Aida. Ref says she didn’t know it was organized by Aida. Teresa doesn’t want anyone to go. Ref says no way she will go. Teresa is thrilled her mother is finally supporting her in something!
Formerly Casa Rubigote, soon to be just Casa Maira, Maira-
She is distraught hugging a pillow. He walks in and she gets up to leave but he begs, literally getting onto his knees, asking her to pardon his stupidity. It was a crisis, of the midlife variety. She is resisting. He keeps begging. She says she can’t forgive him. She says she felt old and stupid, but she didn’t go after someone else, she tried to work on their relationship! [OMG! Haha the Rubigote doorbell just rang and I ran to my front door. Damn these rich telenovela people who have it ingrained in their DNA to ignore door bells because the maid will get it! Hah, ay, anyways, back to the show.] The doorbell rigs. He kisses her. She pulls away. She says how is she to be sure that he doesn’t have someone else in his life. Speak of the she-devil with big hair. HOLA! It’s Genoveva. She is dropping off books. She sees Maira is crying and hugs them both, happy to see them together, they’ve been together for years, they cant just throw that in the trash. Maira says she is not sure. She needs to think about it and talk to her daughter.
Clinic, Mariano, Juana, Aida-
Juana says, if she is for real about being sorry, the first thing she needs to do is ask for an apology from her God-daughter. Mariano says that Juana is right about this. Aida is not happy. You know how hard that will be for me! Fine, she says, she will do it. Juana gives Mariano his lunch from the basket and tells Aida she ain’t getting any of it! She leaves. Mariano says to understand Juana, and Aida says she does understand. Then the sort of flirt about going to eat together. She asks if he is going to make her go eat alone. He says he cant go with her. Nacos don’t eat with ninas fresas. She’s all ‘me??’ laughing.
On the street awalkin’, Johnny and Cutberto-
Talking about their women troubles. Then the maid of Pati comes walkin and Cutberto seems enchanted. (Yes! Get with her so Juana can be with Hector the Director!!) Johnny tries to hide. They watch her picking leaves that must be some sort of herb cause she’s smelling them. And picking them. Anyway, she walks over to the door, and unlike any normal person who would just lower their hand, she goes into a full front bend in order to slide the key into the door. Cutberto definitely likes her. I see future secret double dates!
Casa Caceres, Ruben and Maira-
Maira is giving her another chance. She just doesn’t know how Aida will react. But, she wants to know everything about this woman. Where they met, how long they were together, who is she.
Hospital, Espe and Doctor Hernan Ledesma-
She is telling him Aida works at the clinic. He asks if she is worried Aida will find out who she is. She can’t even look her in the eyes, she is worried about her baby. She also says she will need a new place to live and she doesn’t know what to do. She has no money. People in the vecindad will help her but she cant stop working. He tells her to calm down, for her baby.
Juana’s casa, Cutberto and Juana-
She is talking about Aida and unhappy that she is around. He tries to reason with her. But it doesn’t seem to be working very much.
Casa Caceres, Ruben and Maira-
He is trying to convince her that she doesn’t want to know. She needs to know. His phone rings and she acts like it is a bomb. It is just the she-devil Gen and Maira looks relieved. But then she says she cant live like this! Worrying every time his phone rings it is another woman! She walks away.
Casa Juana, Juana and Teresa-
Tere is amazed/delighted that Juana got Aida to say she would ask forgiveness, though she is sure she just said it because she was with Mariano at the time. Teresa asks Juana to go to the lottery and do everything Teresa asks her to.
Later, Clinic, Card Game Bingo Lottery thing, a bunch of people are there including Cutberto, Mariano, Aida, Aurora, Johnny, Juana-
Johnny won the first round. Tere and parents show up. Juana sets her up in front of everyone so that Aida must ask Tere’s pardon.
Casa de la Barrera, Fernando and Luisa-
Fern is serious, and says they need to talk. Tomorrow he is going to Spain
Clinic, Card/Bingo Game-
Mariano says it is not the time. Aida stands up and says she will do it now, she wants everyone to see. She asks for her forgiveness, she was crazy with grief. Teresa says she has it, but she also insulted her parents, so they deserve one, too. She asks their forgiveness, too. She knows she did wrong. Then she lets the gata out of the bag, telling everyone that Tere had them all believing her parents were millionaires. Bingo! Score one for Aida, that just blew up in Tere’s face!
Casa de le Barerra, Fern and Luisa-
She asks why he is leaving, he says it is for something for a judge that he needs to be there for, because once it is over he will finally have everything he is supposed to have from his inheritance from his father. She asks how long it will take, he says he doesn’t know.
Clinic, card game-
Is this true Teresa? Asks Refugio, who looks like she just took a bullet to the heart. Figuratively. And my DVR freezes. Rawr. Oh, it’s robooting. And now it looks dead. Switching to youtube. Refugio asks if it is true. Tere says yes, it is true. Oh, I was wrong, there is the bullet in the heart. Tere tries to make excuses and tells her mother not to cry. It was so she wouldn’t be humiliated by people like Aida. She asks Aurora Aurora
Casa de la Barrera, Luisa and Fern-
Luisa is crying. Fernardo is saying he needs to go, but trust that he loves her. She has doubts. She needs to trust him. She’s scared he’ll be so far away he will forget about her. He will come back, he says. They hug and Arturo walks in, asking what’s up. Luisa explains. Arturo asks Fernando how he doesn’t know when he will be back. He says he doesn’t. Arturo asks if Luisa is okay and then says he will be waiting for Fern in the library. Luisa apologizes to Fern, but says she is just so scared.
Clinic-
Aida is saying she would like Armando’s forgiveness, too. Arm says she’s caused a lot of pain to his daughter. Mariano says that Aida is going to be working in the clinic and he doesn’t want any problems. She asked for your forgiveness, and he hopes that they can forgive her and respect her decision to help them. Tere says that if Aida doesn’t provoke her, then she has no problems. Well, Aurora
Casa Chavez, Tere and her parents-
Tere is fighting with her mother about her forgiving Aida. Ref is pissed about the lie about being rich. Teresa was not okay with telling her friends she was poor, she would have suffered. Ref is poor and that’s just fine with her, but obviously not with Teresa. Ref says it is probably best she not go to Tere’s wedding. Through her tears, Tere looks pleased.
Casa de la Barerra, Fern and Arturo-
They apologize to one another. They both don’t want Luisa to suffer, Fern promises to be in contact with her all the time.
Casa Chavez, Chavez familia-
Tere basically says, fine, mom, don’t come. But Dad is coming! Right dad? He says of course. Ref runs crying into her room. Tere manipulates—er, apologizes to her dad. He says it is his fault for never trying to get out of the vecindad. She says he is always supporting her, that’s why she loves him so much. Tere swears she will get out of this misery.
Clinic, après loteria, Mariano and Aurora are cleaning up-
Mar cant believe Aida asked forgiveness in front of everyone. Aurora
Casa Cahvez, Arm and Ref-
Arm is trying to convince Ref to go. She says she is not going. Juana and Cutberto come in. Cutb asks if everything is okay. Arm says no. Juana asks after Tere. Arm says she left. Juana asks why they are so serious. He tells her that Ref isn’t going to the wedding.
Casa Caceres, Maira and Aida-
Maira was worried. Where was she? Aida says she’s been with Mariano in the clinic. Maira asks if she is really going to continue helping out there, in the neighborhood where Tere lives? There are plenty of other places where Aida could help. Aida says she wants to be near Mariano. Mama asks why. She says he has been so supportive, Aurora
Casa de la Barerra, Tere and Luisa-
Luisa is explaining about Fer, Tere tells her he will come back, not to cry. Wow, I thought she would go right into the ‘because you slept with him!’ routine. Luisa understands he needs to go to get his inheritance. And it’s a lot of money? Tere asks. Yes, Luisa says, when he gets it he will be one of the richest people in Spain
Clinic, Aurora and Martin-
He is asking why Mariano is so mad. She doesn’t know. But Aurora
Casa de la Barrera, Tere and Luisa-
Tere is still talking about the amount of money he will have and Luisa is saying what is important to him is getting his father’s legacy. Luisa then repeats that he will forget about her so far away. Tere says she needs to be strong. Luisa says she is right. She will not be sad or cry in front of Fer anymore. Luisa notices she’s not happy either and asks what happened. She says that today was a horrible day. Her mother says she is not going to her wedding, and all because of Aida.
Blechlor Pad, Ruben and Gen-
They are fighting. About him not answering her call. About Teresa becoming a socio.
Fern’s pad, Luisa shows up-
She walks in and kisses him. She is being strong, and came to spend as much time together as they can before he leaves.
Casa de la Barrera, Tere and Arturo-
What do you mean your mom isn’t coming to the wedding? Arturo asks. Tere says, They talked about it and she doesn’t want her to be ashamed of her. She even asked my dad not to go either! Arturo says he can’t believe it. She says her poor father continued to defend her, but her mom, no. She says that even if her mom doesn’t come, it will be the happiest day of her life because she will be forever united with him. Kiss. She kept her eyes closed this time!
Fernando’s bed, Luisa and Fern-
He is speaking sweet nothings, saying they will be in each other’s hearts and that he will come back as soon as he can.
Juana’s casa, Juana and Cutberto-
She is saying she cant believe that Ref wouldn’t go, your daughter only gets married once in her life! Cutberto is, as usual, on the who cares about Teresa side of things. He brings the subject to them, and how they are so happy. Yes, she says, but she doesn’t want to leave Tere alone at Arturo’s. They kiss. Next morning, Juana is singing to herself at her house and Hector shows up. She is watering the roses and he says he is glad she likes the flowers HE SENT her. He asks what her favorite flowers are and she says rosas, but she is totally pissed.
Casa Chavez, Arturo and Refugio-
He want to talk to her about attending the wedding. She says she made her decision. He says that he knows she was never supportive of this marriage, but she cuts him off and says its not because of that, it is because she doesn’t want to embarrass her or him. He says if anyone has the right to be at the wedding it is her. She doesn’t think Tere thinks so. He mentions it was because of Aida and Ref says no, she apologized to everyone last night. He is surprised to hear this. She says it is because Tere is embarrassed of her. It is the truth. He says not to say that. Tere was upset last night. And though they both think very differently, Tere loves Ref. she asks if he really believes this. He takes her hand and says he is sure of it. He wants her to be there and he knows it would make Tere happy. She says he is a good person. He says he will make Tere happy. And that he lost his parents when he was so young, but he couldn’t imagine them not being there on such an important day. Think about it.
Outside in the Vecindad, Juana runs into Cutberto-
Juanita! He starts. She smacks him a GOOD ONE and he looks confused. She looks pissed.
Clinic, Mariano, Martin walks in-
Martin asks if they can talk. Mar says, yes, what do you want? He says a few things but then gets to the point. Last night you were mad at Aurora
Outside the vecindad, Arturo runs into Aida-
He asks how she is. She says she is trying to come back to life. He says he knows she will. Then he says he is happy she apologized and she flips out, saying don’t start. She then tells him that it was Tere who sent her the photo of Ruben and Espe kissing and who sent her papers as a wedding present. The divorce papers that Ruben forged. Cara impactada and confused de Arturo.
Spell check might have messed up some words, I will check later. Also, really light on vocab, sorry, I was rushing! Off to the dentist. Also, expect me to possibly be MIA for a few days. I'm getting my wisdom teeth out! All four!

Great recap--I like the way you take it scene by scene. I turned off my cable for the summmer and you all are lifesavers! Good luck with the wisdom teeth and thanks again!
Samatha, thanks for the great recap.
Aida still has a long way to go in the redemption department. In spite of her works, she is going to be beside herself when she finds out who Esp really is.
Cutberto needs to leave Juana alone, I want her to end up Hector the Director.

Thanks so much Samantha. Bingo! is right because Aida scored a few points. I am totally behind her as she reveals just who Teresa is to the people around her.
Did anyone else catch that look on Arturo's face when he told Fernando to see him in his office after he found Luisa crying? Don't mess with his little sister, or else. I like how he told Fer that if he doesn't tend to his relationship with Luisa, there would be other men lining up to snap up a prize like Luisa. Right on Art. Fernando is not God's gift to women and he should know that Luisa is a hot comodity. I loved Luisa's blue dress with the white sash. It fit her like a glove, with a plunging neckline, but it didin't look vulgar.

Oh, and good luck with the wisdom teeth. Peace Corps made me get mine extracted all at once before going in country because they didn't want to foot the bill of sending me back to the States to the dentist if they starting to come in. There wasn't enough room for them in my mouth. I looked like a chipmunk for weeks! :)
Man, Tere really took it to the wall at the clinic lastr night. She would have been ok is she hadn't started on the rant of claiming everyone is embarrassed at being poor - make the folks feel bad while you're at it. How does she ever show herself there again? Tere has definitely met her match in Aida. ANd I think Mariano was enjoying the entire thing---
As for Refuse-to-well-name-it, not going to the wedding --I think she would have found any excuse not to go frankly. This was the first one that came up. Question will be whether she changes her mind. Beginning to really feel for the poor father - rock and a hard place for sure.
So Fer goes away, and Luisa has been doing the horizontal with him = TN law states that she has either got to end up pregnant or he finds a new lady and breaks her heart. Or both. Bets anyone??
As for the slap heard round the neighborhod - yahoo. So glad Cutberto got his..and boy I hope Juana lays into him some mnore too. Jerk.

Thanks for the recap Samantha. I wish you the best of luck with getting your wisdom teeth extracted. Last year, I had three pulled out and the first few days were horrible.
Glad that Juana found out about who truly sent the roses and smacked a good one on Cutberto. I like her and Hector together but it seems that she's head over heels for Cutberto.
The tension was thick with Mariano, Aurora, and Martin. He is definitely jealous.
Aida did score major points outing Teresa's lie about coming from a rich family and also telling Arturo about the photo and the divorce papers. In the previews, he confronts her about it and I'm wondering what lie will she tell to get out of it.
It looks like Fernando is getting a case of wanderlust and doesn't want to be tied down to Luisa. Arturo will defend his sister if Fernando hurts her.

Samantha, you did this fun episode justice..... thanks!
Vivi, Aida does have the goods on Teresa. I think she along with Fito will be Teresa's downfall, I just wish that her basic motive weren't taking down a pobrecita who was thrown into a lion's den of criticism because of her vecindad poverty. It won't be a clean hit for me!
Warning to Refugio, my neighbor's son married a girl whose mother refused to come to her wedding because the bride invited the divorced father, five years later, they haven't resolved their problems. Boycotting your daughter's wedding is a HUGE statement!

Samantha, thank you for your beautiful recap! Thanks for some Spanish frases thrown in Ciegamente was never in my vocabulary in the grammar books I have. Wonder why, go figure.
Vivi-I hope it was only your wisdom teeth they wanted you to take out before going in the Peace Corp. ( I am always awed at the people that comment in this blog. I sure enjoy this!)
That being said, darn. Aida looks like she is repenting, but this is clearly a long term vengence plan, much like the long term plan Tere has been carrying out. I wish Aida was really redeeming herself-and I hope she does, I am starting to like her.
We can see what will happen to Luisa. Tere will not be able to stop herself from going after one of the richest men in Spain, Arturo will seem like small potatoes after that.
I hope Cutberto goes after that maid that is Pati's body guard, I would love Juana to end up with Hector. Alas, it doesn't seem like that will happen. Oh poo!

Haha, perfect title. I wasn't sure what the point of that loteria game was...was it a fundraiser for the clinic? Mariano seemed skeptical when Aida mentioned doing it, and I wondered if he was thinking she was naive and just didn't get that the vecindad residents didn't have much money to play with. Plus, there weren't that many people there; they couldn't have raised much money. I guess it was really an excuse to get everyone together, but I cringed at the whole thing after Teresa came in because I hate it when people hijack events to make speeches about their own issues.
But anyway. It's fun to see Mariano steaming with jealousy (and finally over a lady who's worth it) and Arturo starting to get a few hints. Loved that he mentioned he'd always advise clients against what he's doing himself.
Fern is a louse. Luisa should have mentioned going to visit him in Spain to see how he'd react. But really, why shouldn't she? She doesn't have a regular full-time job, I don't think, and she has plenty of money. Actually I'd like for her to just drop in on him there. But seriously, "I have to go and don't know when I'll be back"? An international playboy like him can come and go, no problem. Drop by Spain for a court appointment, back to Mexico for the weekend, whatever. Arturo should have given him a harder time.
Hated Teresa's satisfied smirk when her mother said she wouldn't go to the wedding, but honestly, I wouldn't want Refugio at any event I was putting on. Total aguafiestas, that one. Ruins everything from a simple dinner to a loteria to a graduation party. Even manages to put a nasty vibe into a confirmation. Okay, Teresa ruined the graduation party, but Refugio helped.
Thanks for the recap and fun opinions and snark. Good luck with the teeth!

Thanks everyone for the comments! And for the well wishes for me and my teeth, everybody!
Pirate Babe- I really hope it isn't too bad.. I have an appointment with my dentist for something else only 4 days later - if the pain is really bad I am just gonna have to suck it up!!
Vivi- Chipmunk cheeks for weeks??? Weeks?? Lol. I have my cousin's wedding in New Hampshire to go to 22 days after! I hope the chipmunk cheeks will be gone by then or they are gonna have some pretty funny photos of me at that wedding, heh.
So weird that the peace corps made you do that, but I guess it makes sense. I have always thought about going into the peace corps for a few years. If you don't mind my asking, where did you go? (Feel free to ignore that question if you'd like.) And how was it??

I had two of my wisdom teeth removed, and it was only about five rough days for me, and that was just because one of them got infected. Be careful and follow doctor's orders and you should be fine. I'm sure the technology has improved since then, too.
I love a good redemption story and I think Aida is a great candidate. Her antagonism toward Teresa is no more than a lot of young girls get up to. Even the ammonia, I don't think she was really trying to blind Teresa or anything, she was just furious and devastated and threw the first thing she laid her hands on at her old enemy, the raging beyotch she was sure was somehow involved. I think she can work through her character flaws and turn decent if she wants to.
Actually, I'd love to see Fernando take an interest in her. That wouldn't likely aid her redemption, as it would pit her against Teresa once more, but it would be high drama.

Even the ammonia, I don't think she was really trying to blind Teresa or anything, she was just furious and devastated and threw the first thing she laid her hands on at her old enemy, the raging beyotch she was sure was somehow involved. I think she can work through her character flaws and turn decent if she wants to.

Samantha- It was Haiti, during one of the few periods when Peace Corps didn't pull out because of a coup or natural or man-made disaster. (They aren't there now.) I loved it. There were people in my group of all ages- recent college grads like me at the time, people in their 30s and 40s, and even a few grandmas. It was a hard post, and a LOT of people couldn't get past 3 months, much less the 2 yrs 3 months of service.
Samantha, thanks for the details and the funny asides in your great recap. Good luck at the dentist. I thonk all will be well as I had all of mine removed at one time and didn't need any pain meds after.
The acting in this novela is top notch, not too over the top except at times for the Little Shark but she is written as being very mala.

Oops, I'm wrong. I had many teeth removed to make room for my wisdom teeth....small jaw and big teeth...a bad combo. Good luck again.

Hi Samantha, loved your recap and your hilarious editorial comments starting with your awesome title.
My favorite scene was the lotería where Aida apologized and ended up sticking it to Teresa. Not sure why but it really made me laugh.
Samantha take heart. Getting wisdom teeth pulled affects everyone differently. I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled and ate tacos the next day. They were soft tacos though. Best of luck and thanks again for the terrific recap.

Samantha wonderful recap enjoyed it.
Well i give Aida her props she really turned the tables on Teresa last night but she still doesn't see her responsibility in all that has transpired. Perhaps rubbing elbows with the nacos will awaken her yes to what kind of person she is. But what a way to embarrass Teresa in her hood in front of her peeps.
Mariano just admit it you now realize what a prize Aurora is and the poor girl is still hoping for you to open your eyes.
I had one wisdom tooth taken out and it required oral surgery because it had long roots deep in my jaw line. I had stitches to sew up my gum and was prescribed pain killers for the pain my jaw was swollen and painful for several weeks afterward.It all depends on how long the tooth is and how deep it's in your jawline. I do hope that's not the case for you good luck.

Although my cheeks remained swollen for a while (and I still have the license pic that I had to take around then) I was not in pain for long at all. You'll be fine.
@Samantha. The extraction itself wasn't bad. The anaesthesia the dentist used pretty much did the trick. My whole jaw was numb. However, my bottom lip was so swollen, I looked like Mick Jagger's twin sister. After it wore off, I took Vicodin (sparingly) for the pain. What you do want to avoid is getting dry socket. Thank God that didn't happen in my case. Just follow the dentists instructions and you'll be fine.

Will follow the directions, thanks for all your input on my wisdom teeth situation!
I am having all four surgically removed because the back two are coming in sideways... so we will see. Either way, there is no turning back now!!
Thanks for answering me about the peace corps Vivi! Interesting to hear... it will definitely be something I think about in the future...
