Wisdom Teeth - 4. Goob - I’ve Lost My Mind
October 26th, 2004 at 03:51 pmWell during my stay in the library this weekend (which totaled somewhere around 20 hours), I typed up a short post for Shyzer. However, the disk I saved it to will only work on the computer libraries now, so I’ll have to wait until tonight before I can post it. I thought about posting some links to a few cool sites I’ve stumbled across lately, but low and behold, I don’t remember a single one of them and they are all bookmarked on my computer back home. Guess that post too will have to wait until later this week.
So for the meantime, there’s only one thing I can really think of to talk about.
For the past 21 years, my wisdom teeth and I have had an amicable relationship. I allowed them to come in half way and promised to brush and floss them twice a day. In return, they agreed not to cause me any pain or force my more permanent teeth to grow crooked.
Apparently the cease-fire has ended. Approximately five nights ago, they held a meeting while I slept where they decided, for some unbeknownst reason, to try and cause as much pain as possible. I was alerted to their mutiny and declaration to war the following morning when I awoke to a swollen mouth and massive amounts of pain. But don’t kid yourself into thinking I turned the other cheek! I responded with a two-front attack that would have humbled Eisenhower himself. Comprised of painkillers from the inside and ice packs from the outside, I vigerously fought back in an attempt to win back my mouth and more importantly, my sanity. I even authorized the mobilization of the psychological warfare division, which basically entitles the recitation of “screw you, fuckers!!” over and over. To date, the war has been neck and neck with no clear cut leader emerging.
However, my patience grows thin. I have now issued my final ultimatum. They have one week to lay down their weapons and admit defeat or else I will investigate and begin to take the steps needed for mass extermination through surgery. For a moment, I worried they might actually call my bluff since I have absolutely zero dollars to spare on any emergency surgery, but I think my pokwer face held long enough for them to see that I wasn’t kidding around. Here’s to hoping they don’t decide to play chicken and see how far I’ll go.
And people say it’s pointless to talk to yourself.

Have you heard about Favre’s wife yet. She was diagnosed with breast cancer….how much more can the family take. I have the feeling this could be his last year. Anyway, I came here since you’re a Pack fan wondering if you knew if the Favre’s had a Breast Cancer foundation set up. I think a lot of people (including me) would be more than happy to donate. He’s done so much for the NFL, his fans would be happy to give back.

Get some antibiotics into you. It’s an infection that is flaring them up. It won’t solve the problem in the long run, but it sure will help. And it doesn’t sound like they’re impacted so the surgery won’t be too bad. Maybe hard on the wallett (depeding on insurance) but not too painful.

Wow, Angel, I hadn’t seen that until this morning. The ESPN story says that she should make a full recovery in five months or so, which is excellent news. God knows that family has been through its share of painful tragedies. I checked a few of the Packers sites I go to and didn’t see anything about a foundation being set up, however I did see a story about her cancer that said donations should be sent to the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation, which Deanna runs. It raises money for disadvantaged or disabled children though (obviously not a breast cancer related organization), but I’m thinking that since the Favres run that one, they would want donations sent there.
And Jaime, thanks for the info there. If I do end up getting surgery, It’s not the pain I’m worried about at all. It’s the bank account. I probably should go get some medications for them though.
