Well, the tooth pulling wasn't so bad after all. They gave me gas, which of course helped a lot and I actually had a problem trying not to laugh while he was getting it out. That stuff works great! It took about 3 minutes. I had around 7 shots of novacaine, 3 of them were in the roof of my mouth. OUCH!! I think one went up my nose cavity or something because I found myself swallowing novacaine. NASTY!!

They wound up working in there about 3 hours instead of 2. Oh well, all over and done with now. He told me not to smoke for at least 24 hours. I couldn't do it, so now I hope I don't get dry socket. My sister had it once and said it's terribly painful. I guess I'll be out of the woods completely in a couple of days.

I know I'm such a wimp, but I swear I was more worried about that damn tooth pulling than I am about the upcoming surgery next month. June 13th. They finally called me today to confirm it.

Oh well, onward bound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
