Well, the doctor cut out all four of my wisdom teeth this morning. It was a strangely good time. They were really nice at the office and I had never meet the doctor but I like him. They let me keep my teeth. Joseph had the idea to put them in a pot with a plant at some point. I was holding one of the teeth and it looked like an artifact or something and I just thought, I made this. Our bodies are so amazing, what they do without our even thinking of it or asking for it. This is not always good of course.
I am feeling really well. I hardly have any swelling due to the alternating frozen corn and peas I have been holding to my face. Plus I have been eating divine ice cream. It is cake batter flavor. Let me just say, if you get a chance, eat it. Seriously.
I had friends in high school who had their teeth done and for days looked really scary, like there was a tennis ball in their cheek. I feel lucky.
For today I have been on clear liquids and soft food. Tomorrow I can eat anything I want. Watch out Rally's, you're about to get one person busier.

I think the swelling comes later, Leah, so BEWARE!!! I had bruises on both cheeks, too. I also managed to have almost all of my stitches rip out once I ate a milkshake through a straw right after my surgery--don't do that. You look cute and drooly in your picture.
