So, it actually didn't hurt this much this time. Weird. I was expecting more pain. Before we did it, my dentist said it wouldn't be as bad as the bottoms. I said that was horrendous that time, and she agreed.
I sat there (WARNING: this might be graphic) while she got rid of the gum and exposed the teeth. I watched as the straw connected to the vacuum suck up bits of gum like pink watermelon flesh. When one tool wasn't good enough, she brought out another. The sound of the tool against the tooth was grating, like someone grasping with a wrench at a bolt that was too slippery. All I felt was pressure, this amazing pressure. Then the sound of the tooth being uprooted like a pumpkin being crushed inside my head.
I'm feeling pretty good. Took some ibuprofen. Will probably be puffy tomorrow.

Everything is connected, and everything matters. There's not an atom in our bodies that has not been forged in the furnace of the sun. Now isn't that cool?

I am so glad you took it like a champ.
"I am elaine...impervious to pain- especially oral pain!"
Thanks, haha. In reality, I'm just a big baby.
