Had a great time. Started with 5-6 shots, by the lady assisting. Then, got 2 more from the dentist. He filled 2 teeth, that I thought were not fixable. Then, he gave me 3 more, and started pulling a wisdom tooth. He pulled a while, and gave me some more shots. Then it broke off. (more shots) and then he pulled some more. And, it broke some more. (More shots) and finally got a drill, and drilled some holes in the sides of the root, and yanked some more, while I howled. One side broke out, and he kept pushing on the other side. Finally came out. He said that most dentists would have given up, and committed surgery on me, and drilled the whole thing out.

Came home, and TOOK A NAP. (Thank you Si Robertson).

Took some pro-biotics. Great finale for the tick fever.

Listened to some Tommy Emmanuel, on you tube.

Now, I think I will try to focus, and figure out what I have to do tomorrow. I have alot of work put off, while sick cause of the tick.

What a day!

My Father remembered having the Navy Dentist pull his wisdom teeth in the mid 1940s. He said the Dentist got up on the arms of the chair on his knees and start yanking.

My daughters had it done under anesthesia. The oldest's just came right out, Doc thought maybe he could've just used Novocain, it was so easy. The younger one had a little more trouble.

I still have all four.

All four wisdom teeth were totally impacted. Had one removed because of problems. Waited a few years then had the other three removed. Wished afterwards I would have done it all at one time. Getting knocked out was definitely the way to go.

Yikes brother.
