So my trip to the oral surgeon went pretty well I think. Once I actually got in to see him the procedure was over pretty quickly. He gave me a bit of a horror story about how my tooth had a very long root and all the truly horrid things that could mean if things went badly. It did make me very determined to follow all of the post-op instructions to the letter.

On the way out another older lady who'd also had an extraction was leaving behind me and we both had guaze stuck in our mouth. She said something I interpreted as "Good luck", and I attempted to mumble back "You too", we both realized we were pretty much impossible to understand and laughed. Luckily I had moonlightnrain with me to interpret when we got to the drug store so I could pick up my prescriptions.

Right now I'm waiting for the novocaine to wear off at which point I expect to be in a fair bit of pain. I'm going with a half a pain pill at the moment as my body tends to react...badly to pain medication. Even on half I'm feeling like a nap would be very welcome. Alas I'm not supposed to lay down until the bleeding's mostly stopped, so it'll have to wait :(

Ok, so I know most people who have just had even a minor surgery would..you know, be resting or something afterwards. And I would, really I would, but I got my copy of the PS game "Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale" so I had to drag everything out to try to hook up my PS2 again. The old hookup wouldn't work any more since I switched my entertainment set up so I had to do a fair bit of fiddling, but boy was it worth it. This is an old school game in the best sense, button mashing, ass kicking fightin' with no terribly complicated moves or plot that I'm aware of. The game's text is mostly in English but the dialogue's all Japanese and it sounds like the actual voices from the show which rocks. You should've heard me squealing like a little kid when I figured out how to do the special moves in practice mode. Sango summoning Kirara to attack was a hoot, though my personal fave so far is Miroku opening up a can of Kazaana on opponents. Sweet. Gotta' say one of the most difficult opponents is, oddly enough, Shippo. He's so tiny that he's bloody hard to hit and he's got some serious attacks including his spinning top of doom. Kagome's kinda "eh" in battle but that's not terribly surprising, and Inuyasha is hard hitting but not nearly as fast as Shippo. In all I'm vastly amused with the game so far. I look forward to battling it out with Kagura, Kouga and eventually Naraku if I make it that far :)
