A lack of wisdom

This morning I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed. While I had enough room in my mouth for them, they were difficult to clean. Even my hygenist had trouble cleaning them. It turns out (from what the doctor observed today) that 3 of the 4 teeth were quite rotten.

Last night I treated my wisdom teeth to a last meal of (of course) Chipotle and then green ginger tea and pastries from Starbucks. Seemed a fitting farewell for my teeth. Definitely my comfort food(s) anyhow... and much better than today as I've been rediscovering ABC foods like applesauce, pudding, & mashed potatoes.

I've been dreading today for weeks, but as with most things, the anticipation was worse than the actual event. I was put under with IV sedation, and the anesthesiologist was very sweet. Dr. O'Nele did a great job, and next thing I remember it was done. I've been doing a lot of sleeping but I'm having a hard time right now because the local anesthetic is finally starting to ease up for my jaw. Going to take some more Rush Limbaugh candy and hope to crash for the rest of the night. I can rest easier knowing that with the wisdom teeth gone my mouth is already a MUCH healthier place.
