stitchwhichI had a back molar and my last wisdom tooth removed two days ago. The wisdom tooth was "special", as it was laying sideways in the jaw with the base of the sinus cavity resting on the length of it. The dentist had to add some sort of plug-thingy to close the cavity up after he removed the tooth. But the effect was readily apparent - the throbbing ache I'd had on the side of my face just below the ear disappeared immediately. It looks like there had been some interplay going on there for all these years. So I can hope for fewer ear and sinus infections in the future.
I got to try laughing gas and was disappointed. There was no real effect at all, darn it. I thought I'd at least get to do a minor riff on the dentist scene in Lethal Weapon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-bWIkGa0QA but no, it was surgically-normal oxygen delivery and nothing else. Bah!
Woke up with a swollen cheek today. I thought I was past the time when that could occur but apparently 2-3 days after extraction is more commonly when there is swelling. Ice packs are helping, when I remember to use them as I really don't notice the swelling. There is no pain or awareness of it unless I touch my face. Maybe a little tension when opening my mouth but given what he probably was doing to hold it open during the extraction I should expect resistance now, shouldn't I? I don't think that has anything to do with the swelling.
I finally built the Lego Winter Village kit that came out last year. There was a shortage of them when they came out and anyone who tried to order one two days after release was SOL. I got mine in January, I think it was, so left it in the box until now. And learned that some genius in the company decided that printing the instructions on black paper was a grand idea for the adult-level kits. Yeah, dark grey, dark brown, and black pieces show up so well on a black background, yes? Idiot. Apparently there were so many complaints that the company reversed policy after 18 months. So I only have one more kit with the disastrous printing. I'm so glad I wasn't wanting to build the Batmobile!!
I love my new computer keyboard. It is so nice not to have to deal with the mousepad thingy in front of the keyboard like a laptop has. It is going to take me a while to get used to the huge new screen on the all-in-one. It's 22.5" and because of the configuration of it, it doesn't fit inside the cut out on the rolltop desk but has to sit in front. It blocks two of the upper drawers, too, but since those hold old computer CDs (mostly fiber research photo collections), I'm okay with that. It is going to make watching shows online very nice during the rest of Arni's football season.
