Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for June 25, 2023

I’ve never met a truly wise squirrel. Though some of them ARE extremely persistent in their foolishness, even to… occasionally… the point of getting a grip on the bird feeder.

That looks painful. Better go find a squirrel dentist.

Aww, nuts.

And badly impacted too. Get thee to a D.D.S. ASAP.

Could be mumps.

ouch

Oh, great. Flash backs of tenth grade for me.

I had all my wisdom teeth removed at once, and that’s how I looked after the surgery. Side note, I could get addicted to the stuff being dripped into my veins. The dentist was using a sledgehammer (at least it felt like it), and I just lay there, completely indifferent.

It looks like a couple of "ache"orns.

LOL! ☺️I can relate to this! I looked like a squirrel after my wisdom teeth were pulled…

Ouch!

I don’t have a horror story. The worst part for me (aside from the cashectomy) was taking a syringe to squirt a salt/baking soda mixture in the holes that contained wisdom teeth to get food out before it turned to compost. No swelling. Not much pain. I bled a bit the first day, which caused my cat to try to get his muzzle in my mouth to clean it. No big deal.

You must keep it clean. Obey your oral surgeon. Those who don’t are hospitalized, have a stent put in your face, and your face flushed out every two hours without fail. I did that to 2 patients on night shift.

Tree rats. :)

Pretty sick…

I thought maybe Mooch was in there.

Still have one wisdom tooth, other three were pulled due to cavities, last one is impacted, dentist figured if it wasn’t bothering me to leave it there.
