The Tooth Is Out

Well, my tooth is out and, aside from the fact that I lost a tooth, it wasn't a terrible experience after all.
The worst part was when I went into the doctor's office and the nurse gave me the consent form to sign. To protect themselves from liability, the insurance companies list every possible thing that could go wrong with the procedure...and they are horrible.
The list scared the s**t out of me, and I almost got up and walked out of there. Then, the oral surgeon, who I really liked, assured me that there was a less than 1% chance of any of these things happening, so I went ahead with it.
It didn't hurt a bit and there was no real pain after the anesthetic wore off. Except for the big empty hole in my mouth, everything is okay.
And, I'm thinking of using that hole for storage.
Incidentally, this past weekend, I uploaded a new review on the Best Bets on DVD website, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page. It's a joint review of several recent titles from VCI Entertainment: CAMPBELL'S KINGDOM, DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE, both starring Dirk Bogarde, plus a Western double feature, LITTLE BIG HORN/RIMFIRE. So take a look.
You have a creative day.
Michael
