I am a huge fan of nitrous oxide  |
I got it yanked on Monday. There WAS a blood clot, but it went away after a couple days. Now it's just sort of...hole-y. It doesn't really hurt, though. I mean, if I poke at it, then it hurts a little. But I thought dry socket was supposed to be like, OMG painful.
I have a check-up on Monday morning, so I am sure they will tell me if I am okay or not then, but in the meantime, I keep stewing about it.
I didn't get any nitrous, but they did have a nifty novocaine machine that did not require the insertion of giant needles in 10 different spots to get the entire side of my head numb. Like, even my ear was numb. That was pretty sweet.

So . . . yes. Sorry to be so blunt about it. But, yes.
But I'd guess you have a good 120 years left!  .......  |
Well, I kinda figured I was going to die at some point. But I don't want to die right now, on account of I still have a really long Netflix queue to get through & also I want a pony.
