Dentist - who me??

The funny part about this is that I had "thought" back in 1984 that all my wisdom teeth were taken out - apparently they weren't - so I got to go through this one more time -- luckily it was only one this time.

It took quite a bit of courage on my part only because I fear dentist so much due to my military experience - and haven't been to a dentist since. One of our board of directors is a dentist and I know him really good and so he talked me into getting a checkup -- we then discovered that I still had one wisdom tooth back there and it was infected pretty bad - so it had to be removed. Anyway, after I made him promise that I would not feel anything - I decided to go and get it removed. It was done yesterday morning and I then went back home and spent the day in bed with ice off and on and pain medication -- and yes, it hurts. I actually think this one took hurts much worse than the 3 taken out in '84. Today has a little swelling and I can't chew, and as long as I keep the pain medication in me it is alright. They also fixed a temporary crown on one tooth and in 2 weeks I'll get the permament one put in -- I guess the old one had a "leak" in it and was slowly getting infection through it -- anyway -- for not being to a dentist in over 20 years my teeth were very good -- just the minor things and we are getting those fixed.

I had to put Shaun T on hold yesterday - couldn't workout at all -- I'm hoping to be able to tonight but we'll see.

Andy and his fiancee, Tiffany and little girl Anastasia arrived this morning - they are going to Vegas to meet some friends today and then spend some time with us tomorrow. I will get some pics tomorrow and then do a slide show post for everyone to see.
