Thanks, g. They hit me with Versed last time. Talk about dreamy.

I hope you've stocked up on pudding, applesauce, and ice cream.

Best of luck. I recommend David Lean movies for the recovery- you can pass out for two hours and not miss anything

I hope it goes well. I'm sure you'll look great as Chairman Mao.

Thanks, that's mighty kind, but they're doing one side at a time, so I don't even get to look like the Chairman, just his half-brother.

You know who looks like Chairman Mao to me? Pepe Lopez.

Enjoy the painkillers -- I find being heavily doped up an excellent time to schedule possibly difficult conversations with people in positions of authority. This afternoon might be a good time to bring any concerns you have about how your workplace is mismanaged to the people in charge.

It really isn't that bad, ac. Or, at least, it wasn't for me and I waited until I was in my 30s and the things had monstrously huge roots.

What sucked for me was, there was one that required all sorts of drilling and such, and the dentist didn't give me enough Novocaine, so I was literally screaming throughout. He said afterwards that he didn't realize I was in pain; he thought I was just "uncomfortable because of the vibration.

This dentist's name? Was Dr. Hertz. Honest to god.

S'nothing. I had one out in law school. Had it out in the morning, doped myself up on painkillers, and forgot that I was on call in Labor Law that afternoon. While I don't have any particularly strong memories of the class, I was told that I'm quite entertaining opining on the Taft-Hartley act while stoned out of my gourd.

No pain at all by the next day.

You know, I had half (on side) of my widom teeth removed ~ 10 years ago. I never had the other half out (laziness) and it hasn't bothered me any.

Mine came out without a hitch. My only regret is that I forgot to ask for them back in advance, since afterwards I was in no state to do anything.

What sucked for me? I was allergic to the painkillers they gave me afterwards. So... I took them once, and stopped. But it didn't really hurt. Just bled a lot.

I've also found that vicodin doesn't do all the much for me. I had a bone bruise last year from skiing, and despite the vicodin, it still hurt like a mofo. So I stopped taking it, because why get all fucked up with painkillers if they don't kill your pain. That, and my sister had an awful reaction to them one time.

He said afterwards that he didn't realize I was in pain

At this point in the conversation, were I you, the good Dr. Hertz would be finding out what a swift kick in the Gonzagas felt like. My question to you is, while all this going on, did no non-verbal signal that you were in pain occur to you? Such as, for example, taking the drill from him, turning it sideways, and sticking it straight up his rooty-poo candy ass, in so many words?

It's scary to try and push someone off you when they have a spinning drill inside your mouth.

I remember reading in that mammoth Truman biography that Truman once got a root canal in the Oval Office without any anesthesia.

He was a tough old coot.

Oh, by the way, I hear what you're saying about pushing someone off who has a drill in your mouth, but I think I'd probably take the risk, or more accurately, it wouldn't occur to me not to take the risk. But then, I do have the pain tolerance of a spoiled schoolgirl.

I really do fear dentists, though, and not in a rational way.

"Szeeeeellll!!!"

Good luck with that. I was born with no wisdom teeth at all... flaw in my gene pool, or am I just a more highly evolved species?!

I also have an extra bone in my foot, if anyone's looking.

Emily, I dated a woman who had an extra bone in her feet (as did her whole family) but she had three, count 'em, three sets of wisdom teeth come in.
