The only reason I'm forcing myself to get the tooth ripped out now is because the rotting wisdom teeth were more painful than childbirth and about as bad as a sprained ankle. Owie. (Well, that and the fact that I want to eat tortilla chips again!) My appointment is Thursday the 10th. I'm so not looking forward to it. :( I had my wisdom teeth removed the way God intended: doped up to high heaven and stumbling around for the rest of the day while popping Vicodin. :P

Two at a time. With Novocaine only. Yes, it hurt like a motherfucker. But after it was over, it was over. And I earned myself some bitchin bragging rights, plus avoided the far worse pain of an infected or abscessed tooth. (Well, at least until 2 decades later when I waited too long to get a bad tooth fixed.) Just do it already and get it over with. You can enjoy having Libertarian Boyfriend baby you for a few days.
