So yay, I survived the great teeth excavation of last week, the evil ones are no more and I feel no less wise which I presume is a good thing.

The aneasthetic was something of a non-event really after all of the anxiety that led up to it. They talk to you, you go to sleep, dream a little, get woken back up again, easy. I'm not even in any great pain teeth wise, my gums are a little sore, my jaw aches a bit, but it's livable.

I do however have a slight problem. My tongue is painfully numb. Yes, I realise that's a bit of an oxymoron, numb and painful, but it is and you can't really argue with fact. I've been told this is very common and I simply have to rest until it fixes itself. I've even been put on some stronger painkillers in the hope I will relax a little if the pain is deminished. But for a girl this is perhaps one of the worst things that could happen. I can't talk. I can't complain. I can't utter my casual observations on, well, anything and everything. I am silent (with the odd spitty slurry sound when something must be uttered). This is not fun, and I rather hope it goes away quickly. In the meantime, I'm sure everyone around me is enjoying the peace
