The Surgeon
The oral surgeon was having a grand old time showing me all the nifty tricks he can do with his computer to assist him in a tooth implant. "See how cool this is? I can calibrate exactly how far to drill into your bone. We've got a good 11 to 13 millimeters right here. We're not going to hit nerves til 15 centimeters, down here. I drill a small hole and then I push this titanium screw right into it." After 5 minutes of excited rambling, he asked, "Are you okay?" "Well, it all looks good. I'm maybe a little freaked out about the whole drilling into my bone thing."
He was quiet for a few seconds and then offered, "Maybe we should sedate you."
"Yes, let's do that."

2. pic - P needs to write a book and use this on the jacket sleeve, great pic
3. sedation - is there any question about this?
4. post drilling meds - yes, please, many... and often
5. experience - fill me in when i see you in a few weeks as i will be next in line for the drill... we could all take trips to galapagos for what these plastic teeth will cost... or we could go see the northern lights... but it must be done
When I had oral surgery the o.s. described the sedation as feeling like you'd had a little too much of a fine wine.
So, there you go.
Party on and good luck, my friend.
The countdown is on.
