I guess that went as well as could be expected. The most painful part of the process was the novocaine shots. The most disconcerting part involved a steel mallet -- I shall speak of it no more.



I've got amoxycillin and vicodin. I was never in a huge amount of pain, so I don't know that the vikes are doing what they're supposed to (they didn't do squat when I had them for the back injury). I was able to eat pretty well (soup, ice cream), and the bleeding is on the mend. The flipper's like wearing a retainer again, only the teeth are bigger than the old ones. I feel like George Thorogood.
