Hence, what better time to have a procedure where someone else's gums are grafted onto mine, since apparently I have the gums of an elderly person? You know how it's annoying when the dentist is all, "So, been on any vacations lately?" and you're like, "Um, your hands are in my mouth, asshole, so I can't really elaborate on my tour of Peru?"
OK, the periodontist was doing the same thing--about books, no less--while half of my mouth was numb and my lips felt about twenty feet thick. Even if I'd wanted to talk, I couldn't. I left the office with one side of my mouth all droopy and weird, with a giant piece of gauze stuck in for good measure. The effect was very...ugly. Then Ryan and I spent last night looking at my mouth and getting grossed out by it.
