Away with the Wisdom...with something Left over
So I finally smartened up and got my wisdom teeth removed today. First time in my life that I've been knocked out, first time I've had "surgery" of any kind, 2nd time with stitches (hopefully these really are dissolvable ones!!!)...and tonight I'm writing you all, fully able to talk, only some swelling, and in general not too much pain. I took a couple of the vicaden's they gave me, but none in a while...that's a good thing, I think! So, don't I feel foolish for not bothering to take care of this sooner, hopefully it won't have reaked (sp?) havok on other of my teeth...wonderful thought, I know...hehe...they aren't falling out or crumbling yet, and some of my savings are going towards making sure they are all good!
Right before the holiday's I read a great book called "Left to Tell," by Immaculee Ilibigiza. She tells her story of survival through the Rwandan genocide of 1994, and what a story it is. She truly managed to be a stronger person with a kinder heart than I can hope to have...yet she tells her story in a way that made me think that there are certain things small things that we all can do to make things just a little better for everyone...It's a book I highly recommend...if nothing else take from it a sense of how good we all have it...
Back to work...so I'm going to go ahead and deem myself a "work-a-holic", though I work less hours than lots of my more professional (docs, lawyers) friends...staying late on the first day of a resolution to leave at a more reasonable time, just to top it off with a later day the next day...grinding through a day after where I should have been sitting in bed with cold medicine...scheduling dental surgery on a friday, so I can get back to work on monday, and taking a sick day for it only after 3 peopel told me that I was an idiot for not doing it...come back from the dentist and checking my blackberry...and even now thinking that I have a lot to do next week, so there's no chance of getting out a reasonable time all week...yep, I'll say it, help is needed by me!!!
