June 22. Day 172. Ice, ice baby


For someone who had four wisdom teeth removed yesterday, my niece Cleo was looking very chipper this morning.
Sure the only food she was eating was pureed and sure the ice packs were being regularly replaced but all things considered I've seen a lot worse.
Really why does evolution not get rid of those teeth and not destine just about everyone to surgery in their late teens.
Why are parents of those in their late teens forced to pay the price for redundant teeth?
This hardly seems just. We've endured the pain in our teens only to have to cop the financial pain.
But that's a bigger issue. Today's issue was Cleo. She may not have been about to tuck into a juicy steak or even go for a jog but I've seen patients look far worse with four new holes in their mouths. Any anyway, apple puree tastes pretty fine ... on day one post surgery.
