Nothing to see here, except those four teeth beside Henry. Those four teeth that were inside of his mouth about eight hours ago. Little sleeping beauty here has had quite the week. Braces a week ago and 4 molar extractions today. About 10 seconds after the surgeon pushed meds to "take the edge off", Henry's said to me, "I need a strawberry farm. I just need to buy a strawberry farm" and then he was O.U.T.
That strawberry farm must've been a great place because he decided to stay awhile -- he took forever to wake up at the dentist's office. Once he was wheel chaired out to the car, he immediately fell asleep again and started drooling...blood. As I pulled up to the gate guard on base this is what Henry looked like...
There we were, straight out of "Weekend At Bernie's". I tried to prop Henry's head up to keep his bloody gauze from falling completely out of his mouth. With one hand on his head and one hand holding my ID out for the guard, I acted like nothing was wrong. Nothing to see here, sir. Nothing to see here.
