Pretty much the whole ordeal sucks, apart from the stockpile of painkillers. Everyone’s experience with painkillers is different; some handle them well, some not so much, while others have the absolute time of their lives. It’s a fuzzy kind of silver lining, but it is a silver lining. On the other hand, when you’re watching someone you care about float through the processes of being post-op, it’s usually a hilarious time. Now take all the memories you have of friends post-wisdom teeth or any surgery and imagine that being an adorable pooch.
Like Hank the Aussie Shepherd for example.
