Ugh, teeth are inconvenient
Tomorrow I have a date with a dental surgeon, to remove a wisdom tooth that I've been told has to come out before it will causes an abscess. They're frankly amazed I don't have one yet :-(
The threat of abscess is, I suspect, the only reason my surgeon is willing to touch it. He went paler and paler as we discussed my medical history and looked at x-rays during the consult in July. Poor guy.
The other ones should probably come out some day, but given my history and the x-rays, he really only wants to touch the one that's a timebomb waiting to happen. I suspect that one is getting treated now because he's terrified about trying to treat it with an infection in place.
So, that's going to be a thing. Tomorrow. Mum is my designated responsible adult, entrusted with driving me there and back and ensuring that I don't do anything ridiculous while the sedative is still in my bloodstream. I think she plans to tie me to a chair and leave me there, because my history of doing ridiculous stuff while heavily medicated is...well, only funny in hindsight.
Wish me luck?
I shall leave you with this WIP meme, found on
settiai's journal. Post a sentence from some of your WIPs, with no context:
Heather and tough, dry grass leapt into flame at the touch of her smoldering skin and the dragon screamed.
"Whatever possessed you to bring a lighter into the library?" Mrs H asked, her slight brogue adding an extra hint of irritation to the words.
"Ah," the woman said, just as if children fell into libraries every day.
The audition definitely qualified as his most embarrassing afternoon ever.
Steve recognised the distinctive shape of the HMAS Polychrest silhouetted against the brightness before the flames from its huge gas balloon consumed it.
I'm not in the family way, Miss Potts, not at all
"We're not a missing person's bureau."
"That's why you called me, isn't it?"
Wow, I have a lot of WIPs. Of those, seven are in various stages of being edited. I really need to get some editing finished.
