The local anesthetic worked well, the extraction didn't take long and wasn't all that uncomfortable. But now six hours later, I am hurting!

Tylenol with codeine is helping a little, but it still hurts. They told me not to spit! Yeah right, I have thick fucking drool practically choking me. And I was told to eat something before taking the Tylenol with codeine. Not sure what they are thinking, I don't actually want to move my jaw. I was just able to open up and drink a protein shake to coat my stomach a bit so the Tylenol wouldn't make me nauseous. But eating anything even semi-solid is out for tonight at least! Now I have put some more fucking cold ice on my jaw to reduce swelling, yippee! Have to film two scenes tomorrow, that's going to be fun.
