I had two fillings done last night. It took 6 shots of novicane total to numb me enough so I wouldn’t feel the searing pain of the drill. But not before I literally jumped out of the chair with an exclaimation that approximated “mwaahaAAAHWWAAAahaa.”
The left side of my face, recipiant of 4 shots of novicane, feels as though I was punched. It is swollen, and I can’t open my jaw more than an inch without an extreme amount of pain. And I have a sneaking suspicion that the denist filled one of my wisdom teeth that is due to come out in little over a month, anyway.
I’d just like some props for restraining my whining until 12:12 EST. Stupid work. Gets in the way of a good ole’ fashioned whine. Feh.
Who wants to make me liquid food and fetch me advil?
I do. I am in the middle of a full maleofacial resconstruction. Which basically means I am getting my whole mouth replaced.
Hang in there. At least it was only shots and fillings. Take some Advil and lay down for a while. Your mouth will be much less sensitive in a day or so.
Things could have been worse. You don’t even want to know what a an endontist or a periodontist can do to you.
yeeps, aenea. Tell ya what, next procedure you have, I’ll make you a nice smoothie. Sure, by the time it gets to you, it’ll be a runny mess, but…I feel for ya, kid. It’s strange, I had braces for four years, which involved pulling about 6 baby teeth out, and painfully moving my teeth around in my jaw, but I don’t ever recall needing FOUR shots of novicaine in one nerve before. I think the dentist kept missing. I have suspicions about him and the laughing gas, but I digress.
Alright, it’s almost time to go home and imagine what feast I would prepare for myself if I could eat it. Feh.
Take heart, kiffa, I had a dental appointment last year that was 18 YEARS overdue. You read that right. I finally got my mouth stabilized and now I no longer live in dental shame. You know it’s bad when the guy takes a break during the exam to run and place a call to his yacht salesman.
