My first (and, hopefully last) experience with an oral surgeon went well. I was given a Valium an hour before WOO-HOO! and put under with an iv anesthetic...woke up "floating" on the ceiling, and "came down" about an hour later. No after effects other than the roof of my mouth was a bit sore (probably from whatever implement they use to hold the mouth open during the operation). The procedure was at
3:30pm, and I was eating regular food at 5:00pm. Amazing!

My roommate and I are still having a difference of opinion regarding the room temp...it was 80 degrees in here yesterday, and she was in bed with two blankets, a sweater, and a babushka on her head! She fell getting back in bed this morning...and, they had to take an x-ray of her ankle...don't know if it's broken or just a bad sprain. Am I destined to room with "fall risks"?

Oh, I forgot to mention, she doesn't go to the dining foom for meals...sits in the room eating her supply of nuts, cereals, and grains. Could it be I am rooming with Rocky the Squirrel?
