Oh, I forgot in the last post. the dentist closed up the hole where the tooth was with some self-disolving sutures. they're quite annoying, but should disolve within 12-14 days. I took my first hard food yesterday, some fried spring rolls and shrimp lo-mein at te neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I had to go light on the Chinese mustard because the dentist doesn't want me to eat anything ultra spicy, so as not to annoy the raw area of the extraction site. I had enough lo mein left over that I had some for lunch today.

"I had that "never say die" spirit: crawling to the buffet, saying "must get to lo-mein""
