Tomorrow is supposed to be the day. After 5 days of pain I have an appointment to the dentist surgeon. I am not sure if he will just make a X-ray or if he will pull it out. I am speaking about one of my WISDOM TEETH ... until yesterday I would have call it the "left bottom wisdom tooth" ... but after yesterday visit I learned that its name is TOOTH 17 ... circled for me (afraid about the fact that he circled also the other 3 WISDOM TEETH, though) by my general dentist ... Doctor SUGAMURA ... which for his origins (i.e. JAPANESE) and my bad memory for the names ... I prefer to call YAMAMOTO ... but I never dared to call him like that in front of him ... just worried that he will use all his TOOLS ... to prove me the JAPANESE superiority ... :XYAMAMOTO suggested me to ... rinse, every 6 hours, my mouth with warm water and salt ... and for 69c I got IODIZED SALT for the rest of my life. Get some pain killer every 6 hours ... and here I discovered the addicting power of LBUPROFEN ... really good!!! Avoid to chew hard stuff ... i.e. no APPLES, yes ICE CREAM ... and that was a nice surprise. On top of that, my eyes are getting red due to the pain ... so I decided to complete the kit with some EYE DROPS. And there you go ... here a "STILL LIFE" of my desk today ... pretty cute ...
My secret dream is that tomorrow the surgeon won't pull out my beloved tooth ... I mean ... I carried this guy all over the world ... I hope I won't have to leave it here in SEATTLE ... and on top of that if they will cut the gum ... I understood that for 1 week I won't be able to fly ... and next weekend I am planning to fly back to LA for a short visit ... so I am just hoping for a miracle to happen ... Xing my fingers ... and closing my mouth ... :X

If he does have to pull it out and it comes out in one piece (doesn't have to be broken), you can probably ask him if you can have it :)
Good luck - you will be fine either way! It will be ok...
Ale ... I hope you are right ... :O XA
