Which means I will be at the Hyatt Regency at 5:30pm staring sadly at the drink specials and chewing on vicodin.

Still, the sliders are pretty delish.

Fydy was smallish but pleasant,britgeekgrrl  and clockworkbuddha  only made cameo appearances but trinsf  and I were joined by some friends of britgeekgrrl 's who were Baycon regulars and pleasant company. Eventually ewhac  dropped by as well and there was some impressive obscure computer-geekery. I recommended the sangria for my vicarious enjoyment, but stuck to mineral water myself since my oral surgery was set for the next morning.

I was a little anxious about the anesthesia, since I've never been put under for anything before. However that turned out to be quite nice, it was twilight so I wasn't completely out and had a decent sense of time passing, but no pain or stress at all. It probably helped that everything went very smoothly and took about half an hour for all five teeth. Dr. Dumas is a little scary but a total pro.

I was supposed to have a little lie down afterwards in the recovery area, with it's comfy couches and blanket-but when the nurse poked her head she saw I was reading and said she could call my ride, foxmoor , if I liked. So I was in and out in just about an hour start to finish. The rest of the weekend, and Monday which I decided to take off, has been spent eating soft foods, popping pills and watching DVDs. I am pretty sick of pudding at this point and still kinda look like Marlon Brando in The Godfather, but am mostly feeling pretty okay.
