Ok, yesterday I lied. The wisdom tooth was impacted. That came as a surprise to both myself and my oral surgeon, not that I remember much about the guy. I'm clear on the "before". He had a hard time getting the iv in my poor, now brightly colored, hand. We talked about red hair and then.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......nothing. I vaguely recall getting into the car and then getting out of the car, but how I made it from the chair to the car will always be a mystery. Sign me up for the nighty-nighty fan club. Good stuff, what ever he injected into the third-time-is-the-charm iv.
Yesterday, once I regained some awareness, was not so happy. Ice packs and vicoden and lots of Amazing Husband TLC saved the day. Today, if I don't talk or move my jaw much I'm really pretty good. I took some Tylenol and that seems to be doing the job. I was pretty impressed when the oral surgeon called last night around 9:00 pm to make sure everything was going alright. Nice man. I go back in 10 days to make sure everything healed well. The next few days will be rest and heal which is probably a good thing since I've still got enough happy drug in my system to cause me to walk into walls. People stare when you do that in public. Not that I would care right now. :-)
A big thankyou to all of you who have asked after Samten. He is much improved from his reaction to the flea/tick product. We drove to Madison on Saturday and got a natural product. Too soon to give any sort of review, but we haven't seen either of the little pesties and that has to be a good sign. This pic was taken Saturday after he got his new summer hair do.
Glad the surgery went well - heal quickly! Also glad Samten is OK - love the photo - what a fantastic face :)

On the Samten story...
There has been some momentum building to get these bad flea-tick products more regulated. Some pet product sufferer managed to get their local media involved... see the link below: http://www.thebostonchannel.com/video/19425432/index.html

I want to play with Samten! He's adorable.
Take care of yourself (aka, no walking in to walls, please!)

Samten looks so cute after a fresh hair cut!
Glad you are doing well enough to stop the vicodin. That's a good sign. Just let us know how you are feeling tomorrow before dinner. We'll totally understand if we need to stay home.
