Possibly Not Doing This Right


Sometimes you have an extremely unpleasant oral surgery situation go down. You get back from the endodontist and take something for the pain, eat some mashed potatoes, and fall asleep at three o'clock in the afternoon. You wake up hours later and because you slept too long and the pain reliever has worn off, a slamming throb has taken up in your right jaw. You take more meds, apply the icepack, and then do the next most obvious thing: take a selfie to commemorate this occasion on social media.

  1. Somewhere I will find the picture of me post-wisdom-teeth removal in college, when I blacked out sleeping for six hours and woke up with cheeks that strain the borders of the camera viewfinder. On a plus note, I am clutching the new Paul Young album that my brother bought me out of pity that day.
