I can't even figure out if this even falls under the heading of third time's the charm, as I've lost track of the previous efforts, but today I should finally be getting this wisdom tooth out. Dr. Toothy seems quite confident that this will be a pretty easy extraction, as the tooth is crooked, but not impacted, and I won't know until later how accurate that is, but I appreciate him easing my mind after my previous wisdom tooth extraction, where the oral surgeon who did the yanking had me sign a waiver beforehand saying I wouldn't hold him responsible for various mishaps, including (get this) a broken jaw. Of course when I asked about that, he reassured me that there was no chance that this would all result in a broken jaw, but when I asked him if that meant we could cross that part off of the waiver, his response was, "um, no."
