- "They are generally thought to be called wisdom teeth because they appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are presumably wiser than as a child, when the other teeth erupt."

Wisdom Lost
Tomorrow morning, I am going in to have my impacted wisdom teeth removed. I was a little worried that I would be losing any wisdom I had when they were removed. But, apparently, I never had any wisdom in the first place, since they never tried to erupt. According to the all-knowing internet, wisdom teeth are called wisdom teeth for a reason.

Good luck. I hope everything goes well. I wish I lived closer so I could take care of you.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder your girls think they are smarter that you are so much! ;) Hope everything goes well.
ReplyDeleteTaking my wisdom teeth actually gave me more wisdom. I saw my loving, caring mother in a new light as she drove me home after surgery. I smelled bad, sounded bad, and was grumpy. She was a saint. I ended up having all my wisdom teeth and two molars pulled at once.
ReplyDeletebest wishes. I hate dental work, but seem to have been cursed with a bucketload of it. Accept and ask for as much help as you can get if you don't feel well.
