My bottom two were impacted as well. One was almost totally sideways.
I started having minor pains, and they had to go as my insurance is gone
at the end of this month (just turned 26 - still fortunate to be on
mom's health plan until now). I'm lucky they fit me in on such short
notice. The doctor told me that the top two will be a breeze, and lets
get them out now.

I was petrified going into it, but they put me under for the surgery,
and other than some face swelling still and minor bleeding, a bit sore,
no major issues, thank God! I was very pleased with the surgeon.
