A mutiny of teeth!

[crows]

In one week, I will have two molars less face. Less than a week, actually. After sitting around miserably in the dentist all morning, they took some x-rays (I declined the full exam for the time being, though I'm about due for my yearly cleaning). Yes, it's my wisdom teeth (or complications thereof). Yes, it's infected. They sent me off to have a remarkably pleasant and calm conversation with the oral surgeon (I kept the hysteria at bay this time when we discussed going under anesthesia! BE PROUD OF ME! I DIDN'T EVEN CRY A LITTLE!). He wrote me a prescription for antibiotics to reduce the swelling, Vicodin for... whatever you use Vicodin for and we set me up an appointment on monday.


So I'm losing the lower right tooth (the infected one) AND MAKING THE UPPER RIGHT ONE WALK THE PLANK.

LET THIS BE AN EXAMPLE TO THE REST OF YOU.

My wisdom teeth would be quaking with fear, but I had them out like five years ago. Hopefully you heal better than I did; from what I've heard, my experience was way abnormal, so you're probably safe. Good luck. Just keep some liquid food on hand, and love your vicodin as I have loved you.

Oh, and PS: good job on the bravery!
