I can now feel it when I bite my tongue and my ear is starting to tingle.<\/li>\n<li>I was unaware of my ear being numb until just now.<\/li>\n<li>I cancelled my afternoon speaking engagement with the county and instructed the county manager to talk for me.<\/li>\n<li>I have never had an easy tooth extraction and this one was no different. At least I didn&#8217;t need to got to 3 different dentists with the 3rd one looking like the skull model for the skull and crossbones symbol.<\/li>\n<li>He actually was standing over me with his knee in my chest to pull one of my molars some years back.<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Garcia never once put his knee in my chest, but I sensed a degree of difficulty that was starting to annoy him.<\/li>\n<li>Arrgh, my left nostril is starting to tingle!<\/li>\n<li>I can&#8217;t drink water without drooling yet.<\/li>\n<li>Yummy, I was reading the paper they gave me as I left the office. Soft foods only.<\/li>\n<li>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, \u00a0and the side of mushrooms completely disappear. I ignored the calabacitas completely.<\/li>\n<li>Nina and I went out to the Ranch House with Joe and his new lady friend \u00a0and even Steven was there. (Joe&#8217;s son for the uninformed.)<\/li>\n<li>DAMN IT, I&#8217;m starting to tingle near my eyelid. How much novocain did that bastard use on me?<\/li>\n<li>Virginia, Joe&#8217;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.<\/li>\n<li>Wow, the novocain must be wearing off faster now, I can feel pain. Real pain on the left side of my face.<\/li>\n<li>Thank God for ibuprofen 800mg. I&#8217;ll be right back.<\/li>\n<li>Joe is probably without Virginia by now. She&#8217;s heading back to Florida today.<\/li>\n<li>I talked to Dennis yesterday too. He&#8217;s on his way home. He just started his 5th week away and feels he&#8217;s had enough. No regrets though, he says.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0044.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4129 aligncenter\" alt=\"DSC_0044\" src=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0044-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0044-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0044-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0044.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>Relax . . . we\u2019re all crazy . . . it\u2019s not a competition!<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I still hate dentists.
