Wisdom Teeth Removed~~~~~

[Marilyn]

Update on wisdom teeth problems. Mind you, I had them out on October 3rd, 9 days ago. Thursday morning, they removed the packing. They suggested that I try doing without it, because you heal faster that way. So, since I wasn't hurting too bad right away, with their encouragement, I decided to try. About 3 o'clock, on my way out of town, I started to hurt again. I had to be at my pretournament dinner at 6 p.m., but had to go to the condo where we were staying and get it all setup for my customers prior to going to the dinner, and the condo is almost 2 hours from my home, so, I started hitting the pain killers again. I got to the condo, and made it to the dinner. I was hurting pretty bad. The dinner was over by 9 but I had to go back to the condo and make sandwiches for fishing the next day and visit with my customers. One of them was late and did not get there until 10:30 p.m. Got to bed at 11:30. I had to get up at 4:30 the next morning to get myself and breakfast ready to get to the harbor by 6:00 to leave to fish. I was hurting bad, so took the max of pain meds and headed out. I started getting sick about 9:00 a.m. in the middle of Matagorda Bay. Finally at 11:30, I told our guide to take me back to my truck. I left our customers to fish while I went and took a nap and got myself together. By weigh-in at 3 p.m. I was feeling some better, but it was really embarassing to be throwing up in front of my clients that morning.

They were very understanding and had a great time in spite of the complications. One of them won a trophy for largest trout in the hardware division (artificial bait), and our team won heaviest stringer in the hardware division. I'm eating some fresh redfish right now, in fact.

We called the oral surgeon this morning and he met us at his office and he put the packing in again, so I'm better now, oh, and on the way home from the fishing tournament last night in the dark, I HIT A DEER and messed up the front bumper on my new company truck, a bright red 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab with less than 5,000 miles on it.

So, that's what is happening here in South Texas!!
