Getting Close to That Time...

I only have two visits left for my sponsor! It's crazy how time flies and I can't really think of another way to spend my Monday afternoons, but when you gotta go you gotta go! The visit was a little different from the others. I did see an extraction but it was a different kind of extraction; this time Dr. Okon extracted bone spicules, which are pieces of bone that grow and poke out of someones gum. There was such a big gap in the man's mouth from the extraction that Dr. Okon had to stitch his gum together. This man, who had to be in his late 40s to early 50s, was in so much pain that even the Novocaine, which they gave him 2 doses of, didn't help the pain brought on by the procedure. He wiggled in his seat, closed his eyes tight, gripped the armrest and moved his feet around; all evident signs of him trying to fight the pain. That was one visit to the dentist I didn't particularly like.
