Wisdom Tooth Adventures!
I just got a wisdom tooth pulled!
It was fun. I called around on my toothache, which I have had for about 7 months, and everyone is closed Fridays. Finally I got a nice guy who was leaving at 12, and he told me at 1130 that he was leaving and 12 but he’d see me if I ran over there.
So I did. He said I needed to get the bottom left wisdom tooth out. So he went in to do it, and the top cracked and shattered on him. So he drilled it in half, then had to cut part of a bone- then he said “You are tough-guying this, aren’t you? I have more Novocain. Tell me if it hurts.”
At which point I said “Uh, yeahhhhh!!! This has been the worst pain of my life for about 15 minutes, but I thought it came with the territory.” Of course, I said it slobbery and with the words mushed and my eyes closed. Of course, as Natalie says, this is what I get for not going on a mission.
About 15 minutes later it was finally done. He gave me Loritab prescriptions, so I need to get home and enjoy a weekend of Mormon acid trips- that is what happened to me the only other time I have ever been on Loritab- I was in communion with the universe, I was seeing people, I was laughing for 10 minutes about the philosophical question of whether there is water under Einstein-Rosenberg bridges.
So I am off- enjoy the weekend.
