No posting until Monday, and little time to moderate the comments section. Folks, make sure that if you are using italics, you really know HOW to use them!
I’ve got tons of grading to do. My wife is having wisdom teeth pulled, and I will be caring for her in recovery. And our sixth and newest chinchilla, Racheli (named for Rachel the Matriarch, on whose death anniversary she was adopted) needs a vet run. She’s underweight and scruffy — and possibly pregnant — and we need to get her checked out pronto.
UPDATE: Racheli apparently not pregnant, and is as healthy as can be expected. We are very relieved. Wife home resting comfortably. Hugo swamped with grading.
Ice. Ice. Ice. Ice. Ice.
Have I repeated myself enough yet?
Being diligent and aggressive in keeping ice on your jaws the first 24 hours after wisdom tooth removal makes a HUGE difference in medium-term comfort.
Thanks, Sam; she’s doing it and I will encourage her to continue to do so. I had my wisdom teeth pulled on September 1, 1983, the day the Russians shot down KAL007. The things one remembers.
I had 2 wisdom tooth surgically extracted during my varsity days. Still remember how I had to ‘write notes’ to communicate with friends as I couldn’t speak!
