Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
It sucks to take a day off of work to do something not-fun like getting teeth removed. I suppose that’s why they’re called “sick days,” but still.
I head into surgery in and hour and a half.

Well try to listen to some pink floyd when you are still under the drugs.
Best of luck and a quick recovery. That is no fun.. But gargeling salt water is strangly enjoyable.

My first drug experience was getting teeth pulled. I was 11 and I had four teeth pulled, they put me under, yanked the little things, and put me into a recovery room with my mom. I started coming to–laughing hysterically, saying that everything was PINK! and demanding MORE! My mother was horrified. When I later mellowed out and asked the technician, “Oh, you’ve probobly seen everything.” she said no–everyone always came out crying.
I hope your experience has some freak pleasantness to it.

Thinking of you while you’re in surgery… That webcam picture ROCKS! Maybe I’ll post one once I get that panty.

That gives new meaning to the phrase, “I need ____ like I need another hole in the head!”

NO MORE TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH DRY SOCKETS SUCK!
I’ve been well informed, and I’m already dreading every twinge as a sign of impending oral armageddon.
