I got home a little while ago from the dentist. He yanked a wisdom tooth that was dying. He decided to yank it out.
The same one on the opposite side was removed a couple years ago, and that was hurt a bit more.
This one just took some time to loosen. i was very impressed with how painless it actually was. My dentists said it was a challenge, as it had a deep root, but he did wonderfully. He also said several times that it wouldn't have been so easy if I weren't such a good patient. ;)
His assistant stood off to the side watching, and was staring inside my mouth from 3 feet away absolutely mortified at whatever was going on in my mouth. It was really funny and I nearly laughed a few times during the procedure.
He let me keep my tooth, as it came out in one big piece. I don't know how inflation has affected the return these days, but I'll leave it under my pillow for the tooth fairy tonight. If she don't come by to pick it up, I'll just keep it in a box.
My faceis no longer numb, and it's already pretty sore. The vicodin I took is starting to set in, and but I still feel like i have a bad headache that prevents you from moving your head around much,
Mel's making me some kickass soup that she makes, though we're going keep it a little lower on the spicy scale.
Exciting.
