The Dentist ...

Hmmm ... not my favorite place to go ... the smell, the sounds ... makes me shiver.

I went yesterday since my dentist said, "this one you better take care of soon or it will be a root canal" ... yikes! One tooth being drilled, lead to another ... "why not, you are numb already" ... which lead to a third! ARGH! If my foot could reach back and I could kick my own #@$! I would! That's what happens when you don't go to the dentist ... um ... ever.

I had a great dentist when I was growing up ... Dr. Glass. I never had a bad experience ... there isn't anything I can remember happening that would make me dislike the dentist so much now ... maybe it is the cost of everything? the smell? I can't get that out of my head ... the sounds ... metal grinding? Whew, I am shivering again. Yuck. Can anyone relate???

Anyhow, after an almost 2 1/2 hour ordeal ... I went home completely numb, drooling on myself, took some Tylenol PM and I was out ... at 6:30. Awesome. I woke up to the same feelings, soo sore and wanting to rip off the right half of my head ... that I am home in bed, watching the Price is Right and blogging ... maybe the dentist isn't so bad after all ... more Tylenol and a solid nap is what I need.

Night-night.
