they're a-comin' out!

Went to the surgeon today, who looked at the rads of my wisdom teeth and said "yes, I think it's worth taking them out". I wholeheartedly agree with him, considering one is growing parallel to my jaw and will be trying to grow into the roots of the molar beside it if we leave it any longer! I said asap would be best, tomorrow wouldn't be too soon, and he said, 'tomorrow it is then!' thanks to a molar extraction cancellation (if I ever think about becoming a dental surgeon, that would be a good time to lock me up!).
No time like the present, and less time to think about it all I guess! So tomorrow is the big day, followed by lots of soft foods, salt water mouthwashes and a few good DVDs (Napolean Dynamite has been recommended to me by a reliable source, so I'll start there I think....!). Gotta be God's timing, as the next available date was the day I am due to start work and considering I am already on their roster and am on call the first weekend, it would have been a headache (even more so, I mean!) to work around that!

Hi Cat
Good luck with the wisdom teeth thing (I've never been so sick of the sight of custard in my life!). I fear I'm a bit out of the loop. New job, overseas escapades? you'd best tell be more!
Take care
