Just jawing

Cooler weather now, so happier. It's been 10 days since the extraction and I go back to the dentist [jaw specialist] tomorrow morn to make sure it's all healing up right. Most of the pain has ebbed - but the -hole- is there and it bothers me. When I lost the -other- tooth 30 years ago the gum receded almost immediately and the jaw smoothed out. This feels like my jaw is waiting for the tooth to come back. Kind of creepy.
