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.
Relax . . . we’re all crazy . . . it’s not a competition!
I am a husband, father, grandfather, friend, business owner, traveller, Harley rider, citizen, patriot, gun owner, politically eclectic person of strange personal habits. I support police, trust no politicians, and can argue any side of an argument just to amuse myself. People love me or hate me and those that are in-between don't know me.
