tugrikThe tooth came out at 10:30 this morning; I was home shortly afterwards. Once again living up to my avatar's nature, I seem to have set that dentist-office's record for size of tooth they've pulled. The darn thing's HUGE! I'll digicam-pic it later just 'cause it's so weird.
Since the I've been sleeping the sleep of the drugged, thanks to vicodin. It's been necessary too. ow. Now that it's 6:30 and I'm up the pain isn't nearly as bad as this morning, but my jaw and cheekbone are still mad at me. With luck this will taper off enough to still be good for my end-of-week rally trip.
The extraction plus the two (yes, two, due to the tooth being so huge) bone grafts ran me about $550 after insurance. They could have implanted a fake tooth as well (new technology, William) but that would have been closer to $3700. Yeeeeow! I don't think so.
For now... time for a diet shake (since I've not eaten in about 22 hours -- thanks for the shakes, sis!) and more vicodin.
