Tuesday, June 4

I got to Itis at 8:50 and walked to Oral for my appointment with Tero. He removed the second tooth that needed removing and this time it counted as a “complicated extraction”. I will go through another week of not eating solids to avoid infecting the gum and bone.

I leave, my mouth slack with anesthetics, and walk through Itis and down to Prisma to get a bus home. I walk past Puhos, the original shopping mall, and decide that I should photograph the iconic sign before the whole mall finally gets demolished and replaced by new housing.

I get home on the same bus ticket that I used to get here, thanks to the fact that tickets now last ninety minutes.
