Things That Bang

I was ready to get the damn tooth out. I was ready to have the dentist jab that needle in my mouth, cut my gum, remove the tooth from the bone and then welcome drool mouth Dee along with heavy doze of painkillers.

We were looking for parking and I remembered the removal of my other wisdom tooth eight years ago quite vividly. The pressure against the gum, the grinding noise, the pain - gawd the awful pain and the swollen mouth.

The cell rang and the damn receptionist told me the doc wasn't coming in. My appointment had been canceled- I had been stood up by my dentist!!

The appointment is for next Saturday. The fuckyness of it all!!
