They pulled it out!

Well, my tooth is gone. They weren't going to waste time and effort trying to reconstruct one of my wisdom teeth. They just pulled it. It's quite something to hear the saw and catch a whiff of your bone as they cut it apart to get the tooth out. I forgot to ask the dentist to give me the tooth to save.

She gave me a prescription for Vicodin and then told me not to drive. What? I'm here all alone and I've got work to do and places to go. There hasn't been much pain, so I haven't taken a pill yet. Maybe I'll take one tonight after I get back to my hotel room. I'll get by with ibuprofin until then.

"Have tooth pulled out" was not on my to-do list when I came to Minnesota, but that's how life goes.

Crazy! But I agree - better to just pull a wisdom tooth. Hopefully you won't have too much pain.
