Big ouchie, Ann! I had nitrous oxide for my last one, and good drugs afterwards - and I stayed off horses, though I may have given the oral surgeon a piggy-back ride, afterwards - it's all pretty hazy...

I remember well when my wisdom teeth were pulled as they were all impacted and it was a real operation, for some reason. I was living at the youth hostel in Boulder, CO after I dropped out of college and I spent a week recovering there, soaking cotton balls in aloe vera gel and then Vitamin E oil trying to heal up faster. There was a crazy guy there who would offer to rub my tummy for me. Oh dear, oh dear. Funny how the loss of a few teeth remain so clear in your memory. I think everyone who have had wisdom teeth out probably remember it well, and probably not fondly. This little baby of mine couldn't be reached by the dentist to fill in a side cavity since it was so far back by my jaw so it was inevitable it was going to have to go. Sigh. So far so good but let's see how I feel after riding two horses this morning. (This morning that poor tooth looks all curled in on itself and quite dead, like it simply gave up and died from neglect. It is a weird feeling going in to have a body part removed, even if it needs to come out.) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote: Hoping I was too old for such nonsense I found out I was not. So I had one of my wisdom teeth yanked out of my head.
