So I'm getting my wisdom teeth out...

Yeah, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out Friday, and I am NOT looking forward to it. Anyone got any advice? The doctors said it should be easy because they don't have any roots yet, and I'm pretty much just planning on laying around and downin' Trix all day. And what about the stuff they use to put you to sleep before surgery? I've heard horror stories about people telling their parents stuff they shouldn't due to some weird effect the gas has on your brain. Should I be worried about this?
And does anyone know how to get the swelling/pain to go away quickly? My hill is having a huge sale that weekend and I don't want to go all swelled up and in major pain.
Tips? Advice? Words of wisdom? (no pun intended.)

just got mine out today and it is not bad at all. i mean, ive hit a tree before and had a tube in my chest for 10 days i think i can take 4 teeth being cut out. get the gas, and if you can ask for extra numbing stuff because that will take the pain away longer after you leave. only take the pain medicine if you absolutely need to because im sure there will be times a few days down the road when you will need it more.
