The wisdom of the teeth


On painkillers and wearing a contraption called "Cool Jaw" that strapped ice packs to my mug.

Eight years ago I had my first appointment to get my wisdom teeth out. Didn't happen. Then, last year I had another appointment. Didn't happen. So when my 2004 appointment rolled around 2 weeks ago, I approached it with a zen-like calm, under the assumption that this surgery too, wouldn't happen. But woe is me, it did happen. Now I have four less teeth than the last time I updated, and a seriously disgusting hole in my mouth known as a "dry socket." I'm not going to go into details here, but it's freaking nasty and my mouth still hurts. I've had seven dentist appointments in the last two weeks, and as I type this I have a wad of gauze sticking out of a hole in my gaping maw.

On the bright side, however, I've decided that nitrous is the nectar of the gods. I'm now in the process of looking for a dentist that uses it for all his procedures, and when I find one, I'm going to stop brushing completely. I was awake for the surgery, but the fact that they were sawing open my gums, chipping my teeth into pieces and yanking them out really didn't bother me because I was listening to Skinny Puppy on my walkman and the grinding and sawing just seemed to blend in.

I'm on my way to New Jersey for a family reunion, but since I only update once a month nowadays, I guess you won't miss me. Don't worry, I'm bringing my painkillers.

Is lina dead?

Hey sweety, please update. I miss you.

well after this punk said that you rip ,i dont know what to think about you any more you are realy an evil soul.what a sad case! but you most be happy to return using dope like old times isnt?have a a good dope day!!! :) the true.............................

Yep Nitrous oxide is fun. Its the same shit they hook up to car for a boost of speed. It is also used as propellent for whipcream in a can called Whip-it. Some people take the can and a ballon and fill it with the nitros oside from the can. Sure the effects can be fun as I can relate because I ave had my wisdom teeth pulled out. However doing whip-its often can lead to some serious health problems. Like cardiac arrest and mild brain damage. Doing it all the time is not advisable.

UP DATE BITCH!
WHAT THE FUCK?!

Dude, I thought you died. Wtf? Or went missing or some shit. We must chat because I am VERY ANGRY WITH YOU ABOUT THIS.

But I almost forgive you simply because you listened to SP.

Almost.

hey michael, whats up

hope you feel good soon best wishes terry uk

You look nuts, bless you. Thanks for up dating though. :o)

Damn, I mean Lina!

Welcome back, Line.
I'm very happy now!!!

Although I have never met Lina, I am greatly relieved to find out that the rumors of Lina's death were greatly exaggerated. It was only her wisdom (teeth) that died.

Best wishes for speedy recovery.

I remember fondly the drugs of the wisdom teeth extraction. Well, as well as one can remember a drug induced haze. I vaguely remember seeing how fast my motorcycle would go whilst taking said drugs. Not my brightest moment, but fortunately no harm done (on that ride). Ah, to be young again.

Softened Haagen Daz ice cream is great comfort food while recovering from wisdom tooth extraction.

Only Lina could look hot in a Cool Jaw.

unrequited love always
michael
