What You Wish For

As they say, be very, very careful of what you wish for.

When the dentist extracted my wisdom teeth, she had to suture the gaping holes in my gums by stitching them together. However, as my gums slowly regenerated, the stitches began to unwind and come loose.

As a result, I've been quite irritated at the way the loose threads flap around in my mouth whenever I talk or eat. A quick peek in the mirror reminded me of the Sentinels from Matrix. And like any normal person, I wished so hard that the stiches would somehow magically disappear.

Today, this very morning, three threads disappeared. They just weren't there anymore.

Gulp. =(
