My wife and I went into the oral surgeon and she said, “I need five teeth
pulled. No gas or Novocain or anesthetic — I’m in a terrible hurry. Just
pull the teeth as quickly as possible.”
“You’re a brave woman,” said the surgeon. “Now, show me which teeth you need
cut out.”
My wife turned to me and said, “Open your mouth and show the surgeon which
teeth they are, dear.”
[OK, not exactly how it happened (but funny joke) but today I’m going in for
oral surgery at noon. Have two badly cracked/dying and three broken teeth so
need “gum” surgery as well as extractions to get all of them out. Then
‘bridge over troubled gums’ from dentist. Teresa IS coming for moral support
🙂 which I need definitely need, and to drive me home. But I will end up
with a new smile. When I can open my mouth again. And the bleeding stops.
And gums heal. And . . ]
