This morning, I headed back to the dentist to get one of my wisdom teeth removed. I was pretty apprehensive about the whole thing and the consent form I had to sign – full of… well.. DOOOOM! – didn’t help matters. I tried to stay calm and folded some paper while I waiting.<\/p>\n
The dentist came in shortly thereafter and used a needle the size of… well, I don’t really know, I had my eyes closed. It hurt like crazy.<\/p>\n
When he was done with the shots he asked if I was nervous. I told him I was and he said, “Me too”<\/p>\n
I guess that was supposed to make me feel better.<\/p>\n
Once I was numb, he came back in and pulled the tooth. Took maybe a minute or so and then it was done. \u00a0A little anti-climactic They packed the area with gauze and sent me on my way.<\/p>\n
I got home okay and took some ibuprofen – I’m still bleeding a bit and it hurts, but not like I thought it would.<\/p>\n
I played some video games for a bit and now I’m thinking about taking a nap. Which is odd in and of itself – not much of a napper.<\/p>\n
So, I’m officially 50% less wise than I was this morning. Later today I’m going to run with scissors, pick a fight with my cat, and email my passwords to everyone I know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
