Jana had all four wisdom teeth cut out this week. Why do they call them wisdom teeth anyway? I'm sure I can Google it and find the answer. But why bother. At least now for her, they will no longer be a problem. She has done pretty well, but is still swollen and sore. Thanks to those who have been praying for her.
I had my wisdom teeth extracted twenty-five years ago at the dental school in Memphis. $78 to have all four wisdom teeth surgically removed. What a deal, even back then. Of course you get what you pay for. Ouch. Actually it was not all that bad, except for one little mistake. The dentist, surgeon, student (I'm not really sure who he was) accidentally stitched my tongue to my gums. I know that some of you are getting a big kick out of that, just thinking about it. Quite frankly it makes for a pretty funny story now, but it was not fun then. Thankfully I survived and so will Jana.
Have a great day.

Dr. Phillips told us that they are called "wisdom" teeth b/c they don't usually come in until you have reached the "wise" age of 18, lol. Does this mean that after they are removed you have lost your wisdom? Hmmm........
