Losing a little wisdom....

After Doug listened to months of me complaining about how my teeth hurt, i was forced to set up an appointment with his family's dentist. They took lots of x-rays (the part i literally hate the most because i gag so easily) they decided that i must have all four of my wisdom teeth pulled... and soon. Ironically, i was rather pleased with the results because my top two wisdom teeth have totally broke through and have been pushing against my teeth for almost a year. And for those of you that don't know much about wisdom teeth, they don't come in straight down, like the others, they grow straight towards your cheeks! Ouch!

I will post the date of my upcoming multiple tooth removal so that everyone will know exactly what day they should bring me jello and pudding (sugar free of course- hopefully i will lose a few lbs. from not eating so much for a few days)!

I'm sorry you have to get your wisdome teeth out--but it will all be worth it in the end. And because I owe you from my near-death experience, I can take Blake that weekend if you want! Just let me know!

You will find this out right after they take them out, but you can't drink out of straws for an extended period of time because it could suck out the blood clots in the holes in your mouth.

Think you can handle this?

Lar - you're going to do great and it's not as bad as you'd imagine! Also, I'll make rolls for Doug to sustain him during the time he has to take so much care of you!
