Note from Audra: One of my sons had his wisdom teeth removed this past summer therefore this article caught my eye. We were given waaaaayyyy more Percocet than we needed but our oral surgeon explained that he wanted us to have them just in case the pain was awful and we needed them.

Many years ago I was President of the Dunwoody North Civic Association, looking for ways to improve the quality of life for 1,200 residents within the subdivision boundaries in which I live therefore I had an extensive history of dealing with DeKalb County (our local government) on various zoning, transportation, infrastructure issues as well as police coverage, therefore based on what I had seen with the County I thought we could do better.… Read More »
