Esk

Devil tooth has been removed. I’m not posting a picture of my mouth while there’s a gaping hole in it, however. My face was numb for several hours after the procedure, which was painful during the injections and after then just slighty creepy, and then after the anaesthetic wore off, painful again, which it still is a bit.

I have the tooth at home but I don’t know what I am going to do with it. I’m going to have to learn to reposition my tongue a bit further forward now that I have the space to do so, but I can still talk pretty much as normal so that’s a good thing. The weirdest sensation I can report is being able to touch the inside of my bottom teeth with my tongue, which is something I haven’t been able to do for about 10 years. It feels really weird.

I’m going to try a hot drink now for the first time in over a day. On the plus side I discovered I can make really nice cold lattes with the compsci coffee and a huge amount of milk. They probably won’t appreciate me doing that a lot, though.
