It's interesting the extent to which I didn't like this oral surgery. Before it had happened, I didn't want it to happen; as it was happening, I wished that it wasn't; and once it was over, I regretted it. I wonder if and when I'll reach my usual point of saying, Sensate-like, "Well, if it had to happen, I'm glad that I have the experience"? Perhaps when the pain is gone.
