so far so good. my mouth is bleeding a lot, but the novocaine is still in full effect. my entire lower jaw is totally numb. I want to drink some water, but I cna't keep it in my mouth because my lower lip and tongue aren't cooperating. fortunately, the bleeding seems to have slowed since i got home, so hopefully in a coupel hours it'll be more or less done and i can try to eat some tasty yogurt. mmm... yogurt :)
