Me, they impacted at age 17ish, my face swelled up like a hamster with stuffed cheek pouches, and the pain was bad for 24 hrs, but I went out the same afternoon for Chinese food (well, I ate a little soup I guess) anyway. Because I was 17ish and hanging with friends was more important than anything, haha.
Hope the recovery continues to go well and you can eat something tasty now. At least, like with an appendix removal, you can now know that it's a possible health issue cause that can never apply, again.
