This past Thursday I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth chiseled from my head. Literally. They were all sideways, smacking into my other teeth's' roots and below bone. I was semi-conscious during the procedure, and have only vague memories of the few times I woke up. So, I spent my holiday weekend drinking my food. I finally got up to some bite sized solid foods yesterday and today. Most of the pain is gone, except for one area on my left side. I'm a little worried about it, but i have a follow-up appointment Thursday to see how things are progressing. My dad was in town for the weekend, and Friday was his 70th birthday. It's hard to imagine he's gotten that old. Kinda makes you stop and think. I'm exactly half his age now. For his birthday, I gave him a DVD of the Crossroads Guitar Festival that Eric Clapton put on, a wide-screen LCD computer monitor, and I took him to 4 baseball games over the weekend. That's all for now. I have to go seek out something for dinner that I can actually chew...
