I finally got rid of an unwanted part of my anatomy a couple days ago!
I have pretty nice teeth overall, but one of them, a molar, had broken in the summer sometime and had gotten really painful at times during my holiday visit home.
Today, at the Tri-County Dental Clinic in Appleton, I finally managed to get the bugger removed. Ten bucks! Huge thanks to all the donors and volunteers; it's a great service to the local community.
It ended up being a complicated surgical extraction, and the most difficult thing I've been through, including a root canal, a tendon re-attachment, and intensive facial electrolysis right below the nose. Nasty. Twelve shots total of Novocaine. I was numbed, literally, up to my right eyeball.
So over that evening, and all day yesterday and today, I've been doing Pretty Okay with a tab of Vicodin every few hours and chocolate ice cream as needed.
And while I'm writing a personal entry: my early probation discharge was officially recognized on January 17th. So the legal mess is behind me, and I'm a free girl. Woo!
Good news to be rid of a bad tooth (and at such a bargain rate)! Take good care of the spot so it heals well, and don't go too wild with your freedom ;)

Hee hee. =)
Actually I'm just planning on beginning a new focused search for work here soon. No more wild girl antics for me. Relatively speaking, anyway. ;)
