Yea, I remember mostly bleeding on my pillow for a few nights. I also had codeine, which I only used the first night because I didn't feel too much pain after so my parents didn't give it to me. The first day was a dooze mostly from the funny gas. I didn't even get anesthesia. I also still love how I remember the moment before they started the work on me. The nurse was just doing kind of like a basic interview. She asked some questions about me but then she asked "what do you want to do with your life?" and I laughed hysterically (internally I kept thinking, wow what a really hard question) and then she's like "ok he's ready" and the dentist came in and pulled all my wisdom teeth out.
On another note, I had a fatty tissue growing on my head a few years ago that I got removed, and also didn't get anesthesia, just because I didn't want to pay extra for it, nor did I feel it necessary (probably like my parents prior). I didn't feel pain because he gave me some other injections to number my head, but such a weird experience to be awake while your head is having something removed.
