How was your memorial day? Mine was utter bulls***.
Let me explain why.
About a month ago, I posted about having my wisdom teeth taken out. That time, I went in there, but only the top ones were taken out. (I don't know why, probably b/c it was close to exams or something like that and it would take too long to heal)
Today, I went back to have the lower ones extracted. The first time was bad enough, but the pain was nothing compared to what I'm getting now, even with all the meds that I'm taking for it. The reason (by looking at my sexy skull x-ray
) was that the uppers were more or less through the bony layer and could be easily extracted with only a little digging.
The lower ones were still in bone, and they were more or less sideways. The bone had to be removed and them the teeth had to be yanked that way.
It took me about 2 days (counting op day) to eat solid food again the first time, but this time may be worse b/c more has to heal. My holes are sewn shut, and the doc said that it should last until it heals over, so I'm thankful for small favors.
It's been bleeding off and on all day, so i've kind of developed a taste for my own blood.
What a s***ty day.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
