Oral-maxillioWHAT?

N is going in this afternoon to get a wisdom tooth removed. This is after a long dance around the situation, not by him, but by the doctors. He had hif first ever cavity filled a couple weeks ago after going in because of pain from the wisdom tooth. They referred him to oral surgery for the extraction of the tooth because it's impacted. The idiots at Oral-Maxillofacial surgery decided the molar with the new filling might need a root canal instead of the wisdom tooth needing to come out. So, an appointment on Friday was to remove brand new filling, check root, and if it was NOT the cause of the problem they would refill cavity, sedate N, and remove the wisdom tooth. This is getting ridiculous. THEN, the oral surgeon had to go to ER, a child came in needing emergency surgery. So, N was sent home with the filling v.2, and and appointment for the 30th to have surgery. **Sigh** They told him to call on Monday if he was still in a great deal of pain, and they'd fit him in sooner. Sooner ended up being today at 12:15pm. That's great, he won't be suffering all month, but instead of being on quarters for the weekend for recooperation, he's gonna miss some work this week. Oh, and there is a good chance the surgery will cause some nerve damage, like a numb chin. Yay!! Either way, I told N I may audioblog his drunken ramblings after surgery if he isn't a good patient in recovery. I'm evil like that.
