Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Wisdom Report
2May2003 Filed under: JournalishThe good news:
1. My wisdom teeth are out.
2. My doctor (who I adored) commented on my remarkably low pulse rate (52 bpm) and remarked that I must work out. I do.
3. My teeth will never fall out (see #1 below)
The bad news:
1. I have a jaw “like concrete.” The doctor broke three burs trying to drill right tooth out.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, is in bookstores now.

I got a dry socket when my wisdom teeth were yanked. The dental surgeon had a very simple and effective remedy: a little medicated strip of gauze that went into the hole. The pain went away, and it also killed the burgeoning colony of foul-tasting microorganisms gushing forth from the extraction site. Little medicated gauze highly recommended.

Glad it’s over with and you’re doing OK. Now you can envision butterfly-filled meadows and sitting by a bubbling brook sipping sangria. Oh, shit, now I want that too. Anyhoo, cheers!
