I'll be sticking to advil from now on.

Having just had my wisdom teeth yanked forcefully from my jawbone, I'm managing the pain with some pretty heavy duty drugs. They work like a charm (a fuzzy, tingly charm that makes me feel happy-happy-happy) but they come with some pretty trippy side effects.

For example, I spent all of friday night in a Groundhog Day dream that simply would not end. For hours, I woke up from a dream in a dream, from which I would then wake up, but not really. Just in yet another dream. And so on, and so on. The fact that I remember it in such definite detail suggests to me that half of the night was spent walking around my bed in a half-conscious, drug-induced daze.

Needless to say, I now understand why percocet is a controlled drug.
