Post-Op

I was all prepared to laugh, take photos and generally make fun of what a painful situation she was in...after all that's what friends are for, right? It was altogether too frightening a sight with her woosy by the door, face swollen and eyes dead with numbness. We got her inside, sat her on the bed, it was unreal how apathetic her body was, how unwilling it was to move. We undressed her and got her into bed, swapping bloody guaze for a new stuffing.

The drugs have arrived at last and hopefully she'll be able to get some sleep without us waking her up to plunge her into an emptiness away from her sharp reality. Wisdom teeth removed, i wonder what ancient peoples did about it?
