Stockpiles

Aside from the many dollars involved, I think my anticipation of the Tooth Stuff is more fraught than it should be.  I'm imagining a couple of (a few?) days of discomfort, where I'm just bundled up on the couch with an icepack and my painkillers.  

Surely eating/chewing will be out of the question, so I've bought lots (LOTS) of ice cream for milkshakes.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, soups and yogurt and mashed potatoes and applesauce, but let's not kid ourselves here.  Milkshakes.
