Ouch (sorta)
I took the day off today so I could have minor laser surgery on my gums. I had nitrous during the procedure, and they numbed me up really good, and honestly, I couldn't feel a thing. About forty-five minutes ago I took a pain med with Demerol and Fenergen, and I'm starting to feel pretty woozy.
I had some pockets between the bone and the gums in the back of my mouth on the upper left hand side. The periodontist use a laser to "reshape" the gums; excising some of the tissue, I guess, so the pocket would go away and I can floss and clean better and stop any further bone erosion. It occurred to me that it would be really nice if the same one-hour outpatient "reshaping" could be done to my gut.
In the last forty-five minutes I have written several comments on The Cultural Hall the new group blog about Mormon stuff I'm doing with John Dehlin and some other people I can't remember right now. Wow, the pain meds must be kicking in better than I thought. I wonder if those comments were coherent?
Pete Dunn, new commenter - who are you? I have read your blog, you link whore, and figure I know you from the DAMU, but I am terrible at connecting aliases with people. So if I know you from NOM or FLAK, PM me there. And nice to meet you. You have a way more interesting life than I do.
Perhaps I should take the periodontist's advice and be horizontal for a little while. It seems a shame to waste such a good buzz on sleeping, though.

Link whore, indeed. I think I linked to you from Sister Mary Lisa, or something.
After that post, I think I need to lie down myself...
A two day lie-in is a little much. If not, where can I get pills like that?
That's a good-looking discussion board, Ann. Once again you've done a very cool thing.
But I'd rather talk about cats :)
Speed(y) recovery!
I had a look at the board too. It's interesting stuff. For some reason, though I'm interested in reading, I can't get up the energy to do true post-Mo commenting anymore. Anywhere. I like reading it though.
PS. Pete called me a link whore too. And then he linked to HIMSELF. Where did you get my blog link, Pete?
Um, no, Pete didn't link to you from me, but I'm gonna link to you soon, if that's OK. I like your thoughts over at Cultural Hall. I'd like to link to that as well.
Hi Pete.
Sure, you can link to me here. No mo-bashing though! This is my SECULAR blog...
Nice to meetcha, sister. Montana, eh? I'm in Louisiana. It's warmer here than there.
