Aug 13 04: wanted: teeny tiny beads
You know that weird chewing-gum-crossed-with-wood-putty stuff that dentists use to cover up sutures et c. immediately after surgery? Well, the blob that had been spread across the roof of my mouth came off during lunch today. No, no worries: it was supposed to do that. But the scene that has been uncovered seems pretty spectacular.
Man, it is suture-tastic up there. I’m torn between wishing I could see the spot the dentist had to strip-mine for graft tissue and being really really glad I can’t. There are so many strands of thread hanging from my palate that—had I a suitably prehensile tongue—I could make one of those ’70s macramé plant-hangers out of them. But I don’t, so I’ll just go back to trying to tease the chomped-on bits of silly-putty out of my molars.
More gripping news from the front as events warrant.
