No blog post about anything much from me tonight: it’s a bit of wackamole time at my house. This morning I took the daughter (16) to the oral surgeon, and after paying over $1972.00, she had all four wisdom teeth extracted. While this was going on, I picked up the prescription the surgeon’s office had faxed to the pharmacy, along with some berries for smoothies. (More on that later…)<\/p>\n
Back to the surgeon’s, got the somewhat groggy daughter, took her home.<\/p>\n
By the afternoon she was throwing up copious amounts of blood, and whatever thoughts of smoothies were in the back of my …no, our<\/strong> …mind(s) …was puked up. Repeatedly.<\/p>\n Smoothies? Ahahaha!, barf again. And again.<\/p>\n I don’t know from “wisdom” teeth. Never had any extracted – have none in my lower jaw to begin with, and the ones in my upper jaw never erupted. I did have two extractions, once, when I was nearly 30 – for braces. They were premolars. No big deal – except for my primal Angst<\/em> about e-x-t-r-a-c-t-i-o-n.<\/p>\n Maybe it would be a good idea if all resource extractors (who take things from the Earth) had to visit the dentist\/ oral surgeon first. Just saying. Makes me wonder about having my appendix “extracted” when I was just 18 months old – what lurks in those body memories? Barf-o-rama? Or not? Gut feelings?<\/p>\n Intact. To be intact – such a dream. Wake up to reality, wake up to pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No blog post about anything much from me tonight: it’s a bit of wackamole time at my house.
