I was thinking what I could shoot to show pain and suffering for the challenge, when my eyes picked up an object on my desk... a wisdom tooth.  It's almost like a family heirloom now.
About 6 months or so ago, I had a toothache, but being me I hate to go to the dentist, or doctor either!  I don't really fear them it's more a fear of appointments, I hate to have things scheduled for me to do. I bothers me no end, the closer the time gets the more anxious I get.  Doesn't matter if it's a colonoscopy appointment or a party.  Anyway this went on for awhile until I felt something coming thru the gum behind where I have teeth.  It felt like it was crooked or something and not anchored well either.
Warning... the squeamish may wish to skip to the next paragraph.  So, I got out a pair of angled pliers, a washcloth, some gauze, and an X-Acto knife.  I cut the gums away with the knife till I could get a grip on it with the pliers, I gripped it thru the washcloth for a better grip, and popped it out, plugged the hole with gauze till it stopped bleeding and saved myself the pain and suffering of waiting on an appointment.  I did this while Barb was at work cause she would have freaked out.  Everyone wanted to see it, even had to take it down the street and show my aunt.  I thought I'd keep it and leave it in my estate to the kids. 8o)
Wisdom? Tooth
