Well, that was fairly icky

[sailorjim]

I'm getting partials made.  I lost some teeth in the military ... well, okay, I lost the entirety of my lower left side of teeth ... and I've finally decided to get a partial denture

Never a dull moment, SJ.

(also, feel better soon!)

Only you 8-)

And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Jesus, SJ! That's really bizarre...and creepy...and, as you said,icky.

I can't figure out how your immune system managed to tolerate someone else's bone fragment. Or how it was not found and removed when you had medical care after the "incident". Uh, assuming you had medical care?

[siliconshaman]

Probably a shard of bone from SJ in the first case, hence immune system tolerating it.

As I recall (and I'll be the third person to admit that my recall isn't what it used to be), but as I recall, the corpsman we had onboard gave me the most powerful pain killers he had (tooth pain is a bitch kitty, y'know) and I received good medical care when we returned to the base ... call it sometime the next morning, around ten hours later.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it was my bone fragment or, and more likely, maybe a tooth fragment. All I know for sure is that it was there when I left the hospital a couple of days later and I've been running my tongue over it since. Actually, it feels kinda odd for it to be missing, really.

And yet you call this only "fairly icky". My hat is off to you, sir.

Be well.
