I had my last two wisdom teeth extracted yesterday! Yes, I know it was a Sunday, but I know this really great dentist who happens to also be Conor’s brother and he has a really awesome assistant who happens to be his wife!
I came to the point where my mouth hurt so bad that I could hardly open it. I was in so much pain on the one side that I really thought death was looming. I had an appointment already, but Awesome Nathan was so willing to have us come down to Lethbridge totally last minute after he had already phoned in a prescription! It was a bit of an… uncomfortable experience, however I had the best team any girl could ask for. The one side that was causing me all the pain hardly hurts today. It’s the other side that got chiseled away at that’s given me grief and swelling. Oh ya, and it took a while for the numbing to set on the side that was without a peeking tooth. But no fear, Nate froze me up so well that my eyelid to my ear to my chin was frozen! Nathan is the best dentist! There was a reason why the other dentist didn’t cherry pick my top wisdom teeth when he popped out my bottoms. I was so glad to be under Nathan’s care because no matter how nervous I was, I knew I could totally and completely trust him. Oh, I also got my first stitches last night, 3 to be precise.
And to top it all off when we arrived back at Daria and Nathan’s house, I was treated like a queen! I just can’t say Thank-you enough! Those Muirheads are the best!

08 Sep, 2008Katie I’m so happy that Nathan was able to aid you in your wisdom tooth agony. It was quite the experience assisting him yesterday, I have to admit that it was REALLY tough seeing you in pain and watching that procedure (I’m naturally a pretty queasy person). You were so brave and such a trooper! Honestly, I wondered if that second tooth was ever going to come out! I was also pretty proud of my guy and all he has learned – wow he’s a RockStar dentist!
We loved having you guys over, it was fun to have you both to ourselves. The kids loved it too. I’m happy that you felt pampered and spoiled, it was the least I could do for someone who had gone through so much. Come back soon…but next time let’s skip the surgery and just have fun!
