This is my last post with my wisdom teeth. Tomorrow, I am going under the knife (and under sedation) to get my bottom wisdom teeth removed. It's a tricky case, because they came in sideways - that is perpendicular to the other teeth. Also, there is a nerverunningright along side them, that could cause permanent damage to the sensitivity in my lips, or even my tongue. The doctor says there is a low risk of it affecting my tongue, and only slightly larger that a part of my lips will be permanently numb,but the chance exists.
So, by this time tomorrow, I'll be heavily sedated/drugged. I will also be in quite a bit of pain, but hopefully I won't remember it!

Iceland was a good trip. I got some excellent footage for news stories, and the scenery was breathtaking. My coworker and I took some photos, so when I get my copies, I'll post for all to see. Keep an eye on www.af.mil to see the stories as I produce them. The first should be upin days.

Vanessa wants me to post tomorrow in my drugged up state. We'll see.

The land of fire and ice...

I'm in Iceland.
Yes. Iceland.

The weather is crisp and cold (like an Indiana November), but the views are breathtaking. I saw blue water (blue like the crayon, not like the blue-green you typically think of when you see the ocean in America - I'm told it's because of the Arctic ice melts that don't have any impurities), mountains, and even a glacier. I will try to get some photos while I'm here, and post them in a later update.

I'm missing Vanessa again, and I've only really been gone for one day. That says something, right? Only four more befor eI get to see her again, but they will be busy days!

Nothing much else going on right now, I have to work hard this week, and then next week, I'll be out of commission after oral surgery (wisdom teeth are coming out!) for four days.
