So, I just brought ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mekle home from his oral surgery this morning. He's now IM'ing me from the recliner four feet away because he can't talk. They really fucked him up badly. I got to see the x-rays from before they worked on him and it was astonishing: his two lower wisdom teeth (he only grew two, for some reason) were actually growing in sideways.
It looked something like this:
>^^^^^^^^<
So they really had to dig in there to get them out, carefully avoiding the nerve that runs along the bottom curve. As it is, he'll have so much swelling for the next few days that he probably won't be able to feel the lower half of his face.
He was hoping to get back to work by Tuesday, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. They said it was even more complicated than they'd planned for, so he may be incapacitated for two weeks. Poor guy. He's never had surgery of any kind, so he's a little freaked out.
But I don't mind taking care of him, and I'll at least have him nearby for a while, which will be good to help innoculate me for when I have to move to B'ham.
