He was cool and warned me that the Novocain shot was going to hurt like a mudda because he finally figured out the tooth was infected. He wasn't kidding. It sounded like I was 8 months late on a payment but things finally got numb. 
Got the bleeping thing extracted at about 9 AM. Pretty simple and it looked goofier than I thought it would. Remember Devil's Tower in Close Encounters?
All sides and no roots. Either way, its gone.
I'm taking a long weekend off. Right now it feels like I got run over by a train but that's a good thing. The pain from the extraction was brief but expected. I was over the worst part by noon. Now, I just need to get the rest of that infection out of my system and make sure the gum heals correctly.

What a lot of unnecessary pain to go through and for so long!!
Looks like the light at the end of the tunnel is approaching, I sure hope it's all over soon, dare I say . . . what about the other wisdom tooth?
Cheers.
