What did you learn today? Part II

Jiro said:
Oh god... Oh god... Well I hope I'll never need to remove my tooth till my old age. I will have to if it's giving me a problem because it's partially exposed but so far no problem for now.

I had three wisdom teeth like that, and had to be broken and removed in pieces. I had that done when I was 21, and it wasn't that bad, but did drink malts for about a week.

My stepmother waited and had them done at about 50 years old, and she said how much she wished she had it done at a young age.

Jiro, pain is easier to deal with the younger you are. GO GET THAT TOOTH TAKEN CARE OF NOW! :cool2:

(Plus it will be easier to work off the extra calories from drinking all the shakes)

Find a good oral surgeon. Maybe today surgical procedures for impacted extraction are better. Mine was when I was 16, so that's 25 years ago.
 
Today I learned Why I don't like going to the dentist... THANKS AD!!! :D

if I were 50 years old, that would be year 2031. I'm sure at that time, it would be so advanced that tooth extraction would be considered barbarous :lol:

I'm reminded by this scene in old movie - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home where Dr. McCoy was wearing surgical garb at hospital, passing by this dying old man. He asked him - what's the matter with you?

Old Man said - "kidney dialysis..." and McCoy took a look at his chart and exclaimed - "my god... what is this? Dark Age? Here (giving him a white pill). You swallow that and if you have any more problems, just call me!"

haha my husband quote the same scene today... my mom was talking about a client getting a kidney transplant, and McCoy saying that... and after he gave the person the pill, he came back, and the person was all excited... "Doctor gave me a pill and I grew a new kidney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Good morning everyone... this morning around 4 AM, I started having a bad cough. I decided to get up, grabbed my iPhone to use it as a flashlight, went to the medicine cabinet and found the cough med. I took it and went right back to sleep. Hour and half later, time for me to get up and took a shower. Then when I stand in front of my mirror, I felt something wrong.. I felt so groggy, sleepy sh*t. Then I realize...oh sh*t, I took the wrong med, it's design for night time med. Now here I am, just made it to my office and I wish I have my pillow to put it on my desk!
Groan...Now I learn to be more careful next time!!

2 of my wisdom teeth are almost like this. They have broken the surface, but they are at a diagonal and have pushed all my bottom teeth inwards and they are all now crooked.
 
Got bad news when swimming today> No single.deaf cougars for Chonni Silue! Couldn't use Fingerspelling either.
I was the only one in the pool.
Achieved one goal- a hot 5 laps for Bottesini under the eye of the lifeguards-making sure I didn't drown. Nice to know. Pays to be early-sometimes!
