Back from the oral surgeon’s office. Feel like death warmed over. Ron is on his way to pick up painkillers which (haha) we were told I wouldn’t need.

The gum around my loose tooth was irritated almost to the sinus, so the doc had to do a fair amount of cutting. He refused to describe how much, which I thought was pretty wimpy of him.

Glad I did some raking yesterday. Can’t do much of anything today but moan – how appropriate for Halloween!

We are thrilled that the Sox won – first World Series won on home turf since 1918. What an amazing turnaround. Shows the effect of good management versus bad, at least in the doc’s opinion.
