Make sure you have someone with you who will be capable of helping you get back to your place - not just driving, but walking. I had the twilight stuff and was doped up the rest of the day. They said I'd be able to walk out on my own, but my poor grandfather struggled just to get me to the car. I went home and slept for a few hours. I got up to go to the bathroom- and walked into the door three times before I realized I had to open it!
I didn't have much pain at all and I wasn't too terribly swollen. The next day I went out to eat and ate a grilled chicken sandwich! The hardest part was that your mouth is real tight - you can't open it up wide. Chewing didn't hurt or anything. The only day I really needed soft stuff was the first day. I had painkillers, I only took them for like a day and a half just because - I didn't really need them. After that it was just a bit sore- I just took some tylenol.
I got sick exactly one week after I had them out, but I'm pretty sure it was unrelated.
Other tips- make sure you sleep on an old pillow case when you get home and for the next day. Maybe even double up the pillow case - you will drool, and it will be blood tinged. Something else gross is that you'll have that coppery blood taste in your mouth for about a week. Your breath won't be too pleasant, either
