Owwwwwww

I was at a torture chamber yesterday afternoon.  I was reluctant to go, knowing the pain that would be inflicted upon me.  But, I went.....  Yes, to the Dentist!  My last cleaning he found two little cavities.  No problem, he said.  He can do both at the same time.  One on each side!  Well, do you want to come twice?  NO!  So, yesterday was the day.

The first shot he gave me was right to the jawbone.  I came right off that chair.  Wow!  And he tries to soothe me by saying, yes, this is a little uncomfortable.  NOT!  It was doggone painful!  After that, the shot on the other side was cake.  But, I planned on 45 mins or so, and it took an hour and a half.  And, well over $400.  Why?  Oh, the cavities were bigger than I thought.  Oh yeh, did I mention that the left side didn't get numb?  It has happened to me before, so I told him no when he asked if I wanted more analgesia.  Just get it over with. ooooo, nerve pain in the mouth just plain sucks.  And the right side?  He dug to China to fix that one.  Still hurts today, and will for a while, I guess.

So, I may have perfect teeth, for the moment, but, man I hate going to the dentist.
