Sorry for the ick-factor, but here’s the explanation of today’s image. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed because one of them was impacted. The good news was that the hole that the impacted tooth came out of was supposed to heal up the fastest. It hurt the most. It hurt so bad I went back in because I thought I had dry socket. 16 weeks later to the day (that’s 3.5 months!) I pulled this out of the hole in my jaw with some tweezers.
In short time we’ve had this critter, she has ventured aboard; my Honda Civic, our 40’ house boat, a 12’ row boat, The Fairweather (the AK marine Highway’s 235’ catamaran), a charter fishing vessel, a Boeing 737, a whitewater raft, and now she’s ready for the float plane!
