Ouch

I’ve had a tooth out.
It doesn’t hurt — yet — because my mouth and tongue are still numb from the injection. I didn’t feel a thing when the dentist removed it, and it took about 2 to 3 seconds.
My mouth is bleeding copiously. I can only eat mush for the next 24 hours so Von is off to buy some semolina and is planning a cheese soufflé for this evening. Yes, I’m spoiled.
The cup of coffee I’ve just had dribbled helplessly out of the left hand corner of my mouth. I can only speak indistinctly so please don’t try and ring me. This is not elegant or dignified. I guess I’ll just have to get used to it.

I had two small fillings last week, which still required that half my mouth be numbed up. I was assured as I left that it would be okay to eat right away, so I did. And that’s how I found out that eggs, cooked mushrooms, sauteed onion, and melted cheese (together in omelet form) all have the exact same texture as a numb tongue + lip. Ouch.

The cheese soufflé was DELICIOUS, if slightly saignant, and I ran no risk of mistaking it for tongue or lip.

As a veteran of dental surgery…..ice cream is good.

I believe the only response I’d have to this is: 😛
