A Piece of Wisdom

As I posted earlier, Rob had his wisdom teeth removed. Now, they warned us that he may have pieces of bone that may work their way through the gum. Apparently, it's not a normal response to this type of procedure, but it does happen. And of course, if it can it will happen to us.

After weeks of Rob complaining about a jagged piece of bone sticking through his gum, I convinced him to call the surgeon and go for a little visit. There was in fact a piece of bone protruding through the gum line. They proceeded to Novocaine him up and then sand down the bone. They told him the gum will heal over the remainder bone.

Yet, after Thanksgiving, Rob was in more pain than ever. So the other night, we're relaxing watching some TV when Rob pulls this piece of bone from his gum line... see the picture. It was a huge piece of bone trying to work its way out. Just a small piece of remaining wisdom!
