Just posting to say hello, I did do a couple of sketches of people's characters last month but haven't had a chance to color them yet. So I plan to work on those soon (possibly this weekend)

 In other news, my face hurts. a lot. I had unexpected oral surgery on wednesday after work. I went into the dentist to have my teeth cleaned at which point it was announced that becuase one of the teeth on my lower jaw was in a weird spot (popped forward in front of the rest) it was causing the two teeth around it to be practically impossible to clean or get cavities filled in any way and I could either have them try to fill a cavity behind it and likely come back and have it have to be re-filled again later and/or pulled or, I could just pull the one up front that was causing the problem so they could get to the other 2 and that'd be the end of it. I opted to have the one in front pulled because: 1. it was causing the problem. 2. I don't have to have to keep getting my teeth fixed over and over again. 3. It looked funny all popped forward like that and I was constantly biting my lip with it anyway.

So out the tooth came. Or at least it was supposed to. after about 2 1/2 hours at the dentist and half a tooth later my dentist walked out of the room, called an oral surgeon down the street, walked back in the room and announced that I needed to drive down the street so that the oral surgeon could get it out, because it wasn't budging. I ended up having to sign a stack (litterally) of papers saying I understood that there were risks to them removing my tooth properly including possible damage to other teeth around it or a broken jaw. Soon there after I was sitting in a chair with gauze over my eyes so that the surgical light wouldn't blind me and the tooth was extracted. I was advised that it was normally the sort of thing they would have put me under for but since I had to drive home by myself and was already half numb they just gave me more pain meds and I got to stay awake while they removed it. There is something slightly ominous when they start picking up big metal instruments that look slightly like a chisel. luckily it's over now. But my face hurts. I took yesterday and today off of work because i can't open my mouth all the way without it hurting like hell,  If my camera could take close shots i'd post a picture of my stitches, they look awful lol.

The good news is, I have 800 mg ibuprofin and oxycodone for the pain. The bad news is, I can still feel my face.
