Seriously, body?

Guess who looks like a squirrel becaues her lower leftt wisdom tooth has turned to the path of darkness?

I have a tube of bonjela and a dentist's appointment in the morning. If you don't hear from me for a few days, it will be because I am sitting with an icepack clutched to my cheek swearing like a sailor!

A tip for wisdom teeth from One Who Knows: rather than apply ice to your cheek (either before or after removal), apply Vicks Vaporub. It causes the capillaries to constrict and therefore reduces swelling but doesn't cause the nerve damage that ice does. For external use only (obviously).
