An aching tooth is better out than in...

A truer word has never been said. I have taken my teeth for granted for too long in the hopes that if I didn't bother them, they wouldn't bother me. Unfortunately, this strategy doesn't work too well with teeth. They relish attention and ignoring them only makes them mad.

If I sound crazier than usual, it's the fault of the painkillers, I deny all responsibility!

As you can guess, I have a toothache. It's not any ordinary toothache, it's the result of a broken wisdom tooth which defied extraction on Thursday. The dentist after a valiant try finally admitted defeat. So now, I have half a tooth sitting pretty on my upper right jaw, readying itself for the it's round two fight with another dentist on Sunday.

Meanwhile, I am doped up on painkillers and restricted to liquid food for the next three days.

Just (miserable) Me!
