<p>Hey I just had my Wisdom Teeth pulled (well two of them, two more later)...Actually Im writing this just as the painkiller is wearing off and it is killing me....arrgghh!</p>

<p>Anyway, I know that I am supposed to notify the Academy when there is a change in my medical status. THis is a pretty significant change, escpecalll since the top teeth are imbedded which means they are all the way inside the bone, it takes a longer surgery to get them out. So do I just send a letter to the Academy when I send in my new dental scans (without the Wisdom teeth) telling them about the teeth coming out? I can get my dentist to write some kind of letter if need be saying the procedure went fine, ect...</p>

<p>Anyone else had a situation like this? Major medical change between acceptance letter and I-day?</p>

<p>Yes. </p>

<p>(ps... not sure I would label this a "major medical change," but update your records nevertheless)</p>
