Does anyone like the dentist? Do I even want to be blogging about one of the most (very possibly THE most) humiliating experiences I've ever had in my life? Well, considering there's probably only one person who reads this, it's probably ok.
So, the dentist. Yeah, I felt really confident in his skills until I was sitting in that $200,000 chair with that big ol' needle (wasn't actually old...it was clean, fresh out of the package) coming towards my mouth. But soon enough that tingly numbness came on and all was good...but I was still awake, staring at all the tools and seeing the dr. prodding at my jaw...and thinking "oh man...that's going to HURT in the morning!"
Actually, it hurt 30 minutes after the dr. finished. They told me I was supposed to sit in the waiting room for 30 minutes...glad I left right away! After 30 minutes, I was in some serious pain (ok, I'm a wimp), and if I'd waited til then to START going home, I probably would have passed out on the street. Ok, not really.
The dentist I went to is actually a very good place. The dentists have ridiculously high-tech equipment and their English is good...not just good, but you trust that they actually KNOW what they're saying- and mean it!
Anyway, today is day one. Can't brush my teeth, can't rinse my mouth...feeling pretty nasty. For the most part, I don't notice it now, but if anything so much as touches my face...WOW. Tried to eat a PB&J sandwich...decided I should stick with ice cream and smoothies.
It's all good though. Three months will be over before I know it. I only hope that I don't get any bruises. Then everyone would think I got the crap beat out of me...
