Today a dentist lady removed two wisdom teeth from my left. When the anesthesia wore off, it felt like someone had just gouged a hole in my jawbone, because someone freaking did gouge a hole in my jawbone. It was of a jia lat type i.e. the offending tooth on the lower row was cloaked in bone, which was in turn cloaked in gum, and took a lot of work removing.
The dentist lady has mercifully prescribed me painkillers. And advice that I can use a cold-pack when it hurts, which worked. Presently I am happily sedated and reading about religion from this guy who writes snarky passages in the Bad Catholic Blog. Life is still good! With painkillers on standby notwithstanding.
