Snowy Visits to Oral Surgeons and Beyond

Yesterday was a potential recipe for disaster. I went to work early, the snow began to fall in the morning, I had an appointment with an oral surgeon, had to hit the grocery and the pharmacy, then drove home in the growing snowfall.

... and yet, everything went okay.

I went to the oral surgeon to have an apicoectomy on a back molar. The technician sat me in the chair, put my finger in a sensor to a heart rate monitor, and then gave me the lovely nitrous oxide, better known as the laughing gas. While the doc was cutting through the bone under my gums, I was in a totally relaxed state. I almost went to sleep and it has been so long since I've felt so relaxed.

So with a mouthful of stitches, I was sent on my merry way in the snow.

And now I get to spend a few days chewing on the left only, but despite being given some really grand pain meds, I'm feeling pretty okay without them.

Happy Friday y'all...
