Wisdom Tooth out!!!

The bane of my existence for the past few months is finally gone!!! The blasted horizontal wisdom tooth at the back of my right jaw is finished, kaput, exterminated!!! It involved one big fat needle, and tons of ponstan, and good old cotton wool.... and 500 bucks. But boy am I glad I did it! The dentist was very disturbed and he told me that the tooth was infected when he tugged it out. I have never had a cavity in my life but I couldn't take care of a tooth that was only in there for a few months??!! Although I must say that the horizontal position of the tooth caused food to be lodged very easily at the back of my mouth. I even began a post-consumption ritual that involved my tongue in dangerous places...

And I thought that I would feel sick or lose my appetite and that I could only survive on liquids. I was so wrong. I tried to tackle solids and I think I did a pretty good job.

One down, three to go...
