I'm getting an impacted wisdom tooth out this morning - yes even the dentist must sometimes become the patient. I expect to be hurting for the next few days when I'm not in a Percocet induced stupor. My girlfriend is coming over to help out ("help out" = "listen to me complain"), and I'm planning to be back to work Monday. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Impacted tooth? Ouch.

Better than an impacted bowel, though.

Thanks, guys. I'm home and the tooth is out. He had to do some digging to get the second root, so it took a little longer than expected. The local anesthetic is wearing off, so I took a Percocet - so this may be my last intelligible post for awhile. My girlfriend will be here in a few hours - then we'll see how incapacitated I really am .

Please continue to post throughout the evening so we can make a graph showing the level of "intelligibleness" (or lack thereof) as the percocet kicks in

In the interest of science, I'll try.
