Okay, so normally I wouldn't post something this far off topic from "fishing" and "minnesota". But given that it is 2:14 in the morning and I am still awake, I'm going to have at it.

If you ever need to get your wisdom teeth out, I'm telling you right now it sucks BAD!

Not only is the pain enough to keep you up at night from the initial surgery...

Not only do dry sockets hurt like you can't imagine...

Not only do narcotics have a limit...

And, not only do you only get so many of them...

BUT - after all of THAT is over, you get stuck with the fact that your other teeth, which had pressure on them (which made it necessary to take out your wisdom teeth in the first place) now are going to move back into place, hurting the entire time.

The whole thing is nasty, in a big way. Plus, I'm nearly 30, and as such I do not heal well anymore and they are talking about doing a bone graft to fill in the shallow space in my jaw now where the teeth were and where my jawbone is very thin.

Why don't they tell you all of this BEFOREHAND!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????

Hey, I feel for you buddy, but it isn't always so. I had all 4 of mine removed a few years back, at 35 or so, and had no problems, or pain, to speak of. One did bleed pretty bad for a couple of days, but even that wasn't as bad as I expected. You just never know with medical procedures...

Aw cripes, that sucks man!

I am glad I had all four of mine removed when I was 17. I went to an oral surgeon and was put under for the procedure.

One actually grew back when I was about thirty, about the size of a popcorn kernal. The dentist said there was just a little bit left after the surgery, and that it was not uncommon. He yanked it with a shot of novicane, no problem.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

Consultant ...

Look at it in the most positive way....

At least the pain you have now will be short lasting, and go away.

If you leave your wisdom teeth in and you dont have the room in your mouth it will cause alot of damage and could result in several teeth getting pulled, breaking, chipping, abscess, etc.

I had 3 of my wisdom teeth pulled all on seperate occasions .. the dentist wouldnt touch mine until it was a must ... they were fused to my jawbone. On another note, the pain of having them pulled was less than the abscess pain I was deaing with already.


Heal up, Go Fishing comfortably.

I understand where you are coming from, I only had one that needed to come out but it was laying down inbedded in my jaw. They were real concerned that they had to chisel out so much of the jaw to get to the tooth that I could easily have broken my jaw just by biting down too hard. The pain lasted for about 7-10 days and then everything was fine, hang in there.

Well, for another "it's not always bad" story....I had all four (two impacted) removed at the same time back when I was in my late teens and still went fishing the same afternoon. Of course, I'm also the guy who went ice fishing the day after getting snipped...

A couple more notes.

The day after I got them out I DID go fishing - it still hurt but the crappies were biting. I cleaned 8 that night!

I got that nerve damage thing too, but luckily I got the temporary variety. Part of my face was numb for a few days but then it got better.

Ouch! My wisdoms were a walk in the park. Just pray that later in life you never get eppididymitus or orchitus. That is a pain like no other pain. I had both three summers ago(one led to the other). My doc prescribed antibiotics and vicodan for the infection and pain. It reaaaallly is uncomfortable when you have a tennis ball in your drawers, if you know what I mean.
God lyk!
and get better.

The horror. I had mine removed about 8 months ago and even had a fat steak on my way home. I am 32 and it went as smooth as silk. I have heard the horror stories and feel bad for you.

Yeah, I had the pleasure of getting a dry socket too...

Actually though, I have to be honest. I had hernia surgery twice (lucky me!) and if I had to pick which one of these things I would go back through, it's the wisdom teeth.

Hernia surgery is REALLY not fun.

Blackstarluver-eppididymitus-oh golly - that was bad. Wasn't at first, until the ER doc (female) said to wear lose or no skivs. I tried that for a couple of days and it got sooooo much worse. I went back and this ER doc (male) said tight supportive.

My wisdom teeth came out in '87 and it was okay until I got cocky and ate solid food too soon - infected socket - don't make that mistake. Keep slugging the Instant Breakfast and broth.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
