Wisdom teeth

Still down for the count. My wisdom teeth were pulled out Tuesday. It's been 48 hours. Feels like much, much longer.

Loved the recs, guys, thank you. Read some new fics and then when my concentration gave way, cruised by some old favorites.

WG has turned into Nurse Cratchett and disallowed all politics, though we have cut a deal on Out Of Bounds. Happy things. I am allowed happy things. For example, I'm allowed television and all the ice cream I can chew.

Since I had an impacted wisdom tooth (for about a year and a half -- er, high pain threshold?) I had the doctor put me out for the operation. I remember the first thing I told the doctor on waking, "It would be cute if a whole bunch of cats walked in here right now." I was picturing about four or five.

The nurse told WG that everything went very smoothly, they didn't even have to drill.

The doctor called to check on me yesterday morning. He asked, "Do you remember anything?"

I said, "Zilch."

He seemed amused and joked, "Well, don't let anyone come near you with any knives."

I take it that I must have woken up and had a strong opinion in the matter. There's a flea-sized nick on my lip that I can't place. Yes, that would be why I had them put me under. I only like knives if I'm the one holding them.
