I'm currently 15, but I got my wisdom teeth at the age of 9 years. (Sad and painful... ):...) but I got them out when I was 13 because I had braces, but the wisdom teeth were making my teeth move again. Well, don't worry.
I had the same exact problem as you. No lie. It's like you were describing me.
So, yes, you're healing properly because I did, and I went through all that. So no worries, and good luck(: haha A tooth grew in the spot of my left bottom wisdom tooth, so it feels like I have only half the wisdom tooth. Painful, and I hope you don't go through that.
When I got mine removed like 6months ago mine were both impacted and growing kinda sideways in my mouth, and I got to know the mouth drill REAL well, the pains are normal, and medicine wouldn't work at all for me and they gave me the really strong stuff so I ended up just taking ambiens(however you spell it) the whole time cause it got so bad so I would just go to sleep, I don't know exactly what the taste is from but it is normal, I think it was just from blood! I never got dry socket, but that's what it sounds like! But I would just call your dentist and ask over the phone if you are worried about it!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
