Well that visit ended up as painful as the one last week but not quite as painful as the original surgery!

Two unexpected numbing shots to trim the temporary bridge, clean the extracted area, trim a couple of bones

and remove stitches. Couldn't eat my lunch until
5 pm (food kept falling out of my mouth

) and now that the numbness has worn off the suckers HURT in one area especially...not even the teeth that were effected so must be nerve damage! Reaching for the "heavy" pain pills tonight when the regular ones wear off!
Yes Ma'am, it serves a purpose. Hint...it's another Christmas related crop.
