Comfortably Numb:
I was not able to take percoset (allergies) and hate codine & general
Anesthesia, so I had all four widom teeth taken out under local (2 of them
were *badly* impacted). I listened to YES Fragile/Close to the Edge during
surgery, and after the initial codeine that they made me take wore off I
listened to The Wall for several hours on autoreverse until things became
bearable.
I too was at work the next day.
An interesting thing about doing it under local is that I could watch the
whole thing in the reflection of the doctors glasses.
