Saturday Update
I’m on my last day of antibiotics and I’m just taking Advil for pain as needed. The surgery seems to be healing nicely. However there seems to be damage to my jaw, muscle or tendons, because it’s still very painful to open. I’m getting there though. I might even try to eat something solid but easy today. In reflection of that sentiment, here’s Faith No More’s cover of “Easy” by the Commodores.

Friday Update
Still can’t open my mouth very far. Day 10 of this now. I thought I’d be well out of the woods by now. I hope you enjoyed Wednesday’s installment of The Adventures of Tee Bone Man, by 80sMetalMan and art by Harrison. I’m off the codeine now, but I still can’t open my jaw much more than a centimeter. Eating is annoying and food has become tedious. So to combat the tedium, here’s Justin Hawkins,…

Update!!!
I really didn’t expect it to be this hard! Everybody said it was easy! It is not. The first two days were fine. Day three was difficult but day four was supposed to be the day I started bouncing back. That clearly wasn’t happening. By 3 AM on Sunday morning, I knew things weren’t right in Texas so I went to the hospital. Five hours later I was out with codeine and antibiotics.* It has been…

Teeth Week #7: "Skin O' My Teeth" by Megadeth
Teeth Week #7: “Skin O’ My Teeth” by Megadeth
This track comes by the suggestion of the Mad Metal Man himself, Harrison! From the near-immortal album Countdown to Exitinction, this song relates to suicide, not dental surgery, but we’ll go with it anyway. I had wrists donning slitsFlowing constantlyMy broken body in a wreckWrapped around a treeA crosswalk hit and runThe finish line for mePeople clutter in the gutterTake a look and see No…

Teeth Week #6: "Toothless People" by Weird Al Yankovic
Teeth Week #6: “Toothless People” by Weird Al Yankovic
This tooth-themed song comes courtesy of Kevin over at CanadianGrooves! This song comes from Weird Al Yankovic’s 4th record Polka Party! It was not one of Al’s more successful albums, earning mixed reviews and not a lot of hits. “Living With A Hernia” comes from the same album. Hopefully I do not end up a toothless person. They only show you their gums when they smile Ain’t got a tooth in…

Teeth Week #5: "Tooth and Nail" by Dokken
Teeth Week #5: “Tooth and Nail” by Dokken
I hope by now I’m well into recovery! The fifth song for Teeth Week is Dokken’s “Tooth and Nail”, from the album of the same name, released in 1984. This excellent record is notable for also including the landmark ballad “Alone Again”. Written by “Wild” Mick Brown, George Lynch and Jeff Pilson, “Tooth and Nail” is an uptempo metal smoker about typical metal subject matter. Tearing it up in…
