- I still hate dentists.
- If I liked dentists I probably wouldn’t have the problems I’m having with my mouth now.
- Kinda like a Catch-22 type of thing.
- While expecting 3 teeth to be pulled, Dr. Garcia decided to add to my grief by giving me a half cleaning and extract a fourth tooth.
- He’s such a caring person.
- My 10:45 appointment and the resulting face numbing is just now starting to leave my head. I can now feel it when I bite my tongue and my ear is starting to tingle.
- I was unaware of my ear being numb until just now.
- I cancelled my afternoon speaking engagement with the county and instructed the county manager to talk for me.
- I have never had an easy tooth extraction and this one was no different. At least I didn’t need to got to 3 different dentists with the 3rd one looking like the skull model for the skull and crossbones symbol.
- He actually was standing over me with his knee in my chest to pull one of my molars some years back.
- Dr. Garcia never once put his knee in my chest, but I sensed a degree of difficulty that was starting to annoy him.
- Arrgh, my left nostril is starting to tingle!
- I can’t drink water without drooling yet.
- Yummy, I was reading the paper they gave me as I left the office. Soft foods only.
- Good thing I had steak last night for dinner. While it was only a 6 oz. steak, it was a very nice piece of meat! I made the steak, the baked potato, and the side of mushrooms completely disappear. I ignored the calabacitas completely.
- Nina and I went out to the Ranch House with Joe and his new lady friend and even Steven was there. (Joe’s son for the uninformed.)
- DAMN IT, I’m starting to tingle near my eyelid. How much novocain did that bastard use on me?
- Virginia, Joe’s new G/F is very nice. We had a nice evening and no matter how hard I tried to fluster her, she remained unflustered. The only thing that cracked her shell was when I offered to buy Steven a prostitute. Both Joe and Virginia lost it on that one. I think Joe choked a bit while laughing.
- Wow, the novocain must be wearing off faster now, I can feel pain. Real pain on the left side of my face.
- Thank God for ibuprofen 800mg. I’ll be right back.
- Joe is probably without Virginia by now. She’s heading back to Florida today.
- I talked to Dennis yesterday too. He’s on his way home. He just started his 5th week away and feels he’s had enough. No regrets though, he says.
