The last survivor

I now have to join the ranks of those who have had wisdom teeth removed. I was lucky enough to have only one form in the first place, and it has stayed up so high in my jaw that it hasn't been a problem. However, over the past month, I have noticed a bulge in the back of my left upper jaw that seemed awfully indicative of my wisdom tooth.
So, at my dentist appointment today, it was confirmed that it has descended more than the last panoramic x-ray and that the bulge I feel is the tooth. I don't really have room for it nor do I have a tooth below it to be useful should I have room. So, it must come out.
I can already feel your sympathy for my relatively easy one-wisdom-tooth-removal situation. Just say it. "When I had my wisdom teeth out....!"
