I had all 4 of mine taken out when I was 15. I recall going under the anesthesia and the nurse saying "Count back from 100". So I started counting. "100....99....98...97...96...95..." That's apparently the point in which I fell asleep/got knocked out, because when I woke up an hour later, I surprised the nurse by blurting out "...94...93...92...91". She asked me what I was doing, and I said "You asked me to count backwards from 100". She just stared at me, and it was at this point I realized I was in a completely different room.

I went home and thought everything was good, beyond some initial soreness. So good, that in fact, I tried running a 5k the next night, and, well, we'll just say I haven't felt much worse pain in my life.

Make sure to take your time and don't extend yourself more than you absolutely need to.

Remember not to suck.

That's going to be pretty hard for him, no?
