He lost some Wisdom today!

With COVID many doctors and dentist offices have closed down.  This has been an issue as we have been trying to get Tyler's wisdom teeth pulled for his mission.   It was looking as though we were not going to be able to do it, but where there is a will--there is a way.  His insurance was cancelled when he turned 19 which was a huge problem, but then because of COVID the reinstated it until COVID ends.  Not sure when that will be.  Every office we called here in town said they couldn't see him till after August, when he is already supposed to be in the MTC.  But Monty called and found a place that would see him that was about two hours away.  The best part was they could see him right away.  He had a consult and they said they could do it the next day!  We jumped at the offer.  Tyler was awake for the whole thing.  It didn't take long at all.  The drive was the longest and most tiring part. 

He only swelled a little, but that is because he refused to take any pain medication.  Tyler is not a medicine guy.  He had this goal to not take any of the pills they prescribed him.  He was successful and was back to work just two days later.  He had to wear a mask, so no one even saw his swollen cheek.  He didn't like not being able to eat everything as food is very important to him, but he was a beast.  Luckily--he's got wisdom to spare!
