Minus the Teeth

Well it's finally done. The wisdom teeth are gone. I am now void of wisdom.

They just let me go from the clinic. I was doing one of those medical studies where they pay you to cut you up and then test a new drug on you. I'm not sure it was worth the compensation. Things went fine until I had a little problem forming blood clots. Apparently, I over-salivate when I taste blood, so my mouth was continuously full. The cotton was saturated with saliva and didn't help the blood clot. I nearly fainted before they got me fixed up. And of course the anesthesia had worn off by this time, but they won't give you anything until the bleeding stops. That first 3 hours was a nightmare. Fortunately I didn't get the placebo, so things were manageable after that. Again fortunately the nurse was really nice and the fact that she was a hottie made the 15 bloods samples a little easier to tolerate. At one point, three different people tried to hit a particular vein. When no one was able to get it, I told them that there wasn't anymore blood, they had already taken it all.
I can't really open my mouth right now, so I'll be eating tomato soup for another day or so. I guess this is all just sudden. I called the clinic at 12 noon on Friday to "inquire" about the procedure. By 8 AM the next morning I was already in surgery. Maybe I should call the parents and let them know...
