Well, gum surgery happened this morning. Once again, the periodontist was phenomenal and the procedure itself went more smoothly than the fillings I had about a month ago. I only felt like I was going to choke once.

All was well until the anesthetic wore off. They gave me prescriptions for a huge pile of antibiotic pills ("take until they're all gone") and some painkillers. Whee. I'm not going to be doing very much for the next couple of days, I suspect. I'm glad the anticipation is over, and I will also say that I hope I never, ever have to go through this again.
