You know things are bad when you’re actually looking forward to a trip to the dentist.

I spent most of the day at the dentist’s today too, for x-rays and consultation. There are only two wisdom teeth, but one is completely embedded in the bone and they’re both right up against the major nerve. The top row is perfectly straight and the bottom row with the wisdom teeth in it is starting to point toward the center. The contrast was quite visible!

The bad news is no food or drink (even water!) after midnight. No smoking for five days!

At least I can sleep through the surgery. They say I should wake with no recollection of the procedure – and I hope they’re right.
