Wisdom teeth redux.

[Warning: As I've said before, I tend to take a clinical interest in these kinds of things. I'm posting it more for my own interest and entertainment -- I get morbid pleasure from describing stuff in gory detail -- than for your benefit. So don't read it if you have a weak stomach or just generally don't like to read about medical grossness. In fact, I'll even cut it for you.]

( Gross stuff ahead. )

EDIT: for those who don't want to put up with the grossness, basically my wisdom tooth socket got infected and they had to perform surgery to let out the infection and now I'm back on antibiotics and such, but mostly I'm feeling alright, and I have the promise of getting better.
