ouch

If you know me at all, you know that I seriously dislike the dentist (clarify: "going to the dentist". I have dentist friends that I don't want to offend). I think enough people agree with me that I don't need to post an explanation. After suffering through the routine cleaning, it only went downhill as the x-rays revealed that my upper two wisdom teeth had indeed erupted and would need to be removed. There was a cancellation (some smart person no doubt!) in the office which they quickly filled in with me for today. They assured me it would be quick and that the top teeth are usually much easier to remove and recover from. Um, right. Seriously, you'd think I have some kind of pain tolerance after natural childbirth but I am feeling it tonight. But I am thankful.. .my wonderful husband brought soup home for me for dinner, I have my pills to get me through the night and my daughters are sharing their HelloKitty icepacks, perfect size for puffy cheeks.
