Tomorrow is the day I am scheduled for my visit to the dental surgeon. There is no information, just a postcard, so I don’t know whether they are going to explore the tooth and have me come back later, but since they have the X-ray I assume they will try to go through with the procedure: Drill a hole into my upper jaw where the root of the infected tooth is, and remove the small pus-filled chamber. This seems kind of risky, in the “bacteria and blood don’t go well together” way. I generally feel that my health is important, but not worth dying for. Hopefully it won’t come to that.<\/p>\n
I kind of feel obliged to inform you of any extraordinary risks I know of beforehand.

And of course we can take comfort in the thought: “Why worry about tomorrow when you may die tonight?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
