Today involved a rapidly-scheduled dental appointment to get a tooth extracted. I had cracked a tooth a little over a week ago, and over the weekend finally fessed up to the Stroppy One that I probably needed to go to the dentist. He called our super-fantastic dentist this morning and got me an appointment for noon.
Everything went really smoothly*. But as I've never had a tooth extracted before, it's all kind of weird for me. I am hyper-paranoid that I will do something wrong with the aftercare; the Stroppy One is doing his best to reassure me, but part of my brain is being unreasonable. So in order to shut up that part of my brain and distract myself, I am sitting on the couch, loopy from pain meds, indulging in Labyrinth. Hi, David Bowie, hiiiiiii.
*Also, my dentist gave me my tooth. He knew I'd want to keep it. One of the many reasons Dr. Ryan is awesome.
