Losing Some Wisdom


I went to an oral surgeon today for a consultation. After a panorama x-ray I was placed in a small room where I was told to watch an informative video which looked like it was made in the early 80's. I learned the technical phrase 'soft tissue impaction' before the doctor showed me a $75 picture of my teeth. Apparently I don't have upper wisdom teeth, which is nice. I set up a time to go in and get knocked out. I'll wake up an hour or so later with a sore jaw and lack of ability to eat anything harder than yogurt. And I'll be paying someone over $1,000 for this. Probably the only cool thing about it all is the creepy picture I got of my x-ray. I considered asking if I could keep it, but I don't think they would have let me. So...if anyone sees me during the week of July 23rd, please don't punch me in the jaw.
