So...I went to work at 7am to try to clear my mind before work. Got off...and headed home. I had a friend take me to the dentist at 1pm. I don't know when the procedure started....but I remember the long ass needle that hurt like hell goin' into my jaw on the left side. They start workin' the tooth out...and it's not a short process when pain shoots through my mouth. Yeah...not enough medicine...this happened 3 times on the left side. After they finish that side they told me to try to relax and I tried to clear my mind and even lied to myself saying it was all over. Then my arm starts shaking...slowly at first but it starts moving throughout my body. The only other time I've shook like that was after my first car accident in which my 98 tiburon was spun out on the highway tearing up about fifty to a hundred feet of guardrail and leaving the bumper yards away. Got a concussion from that nice lil excursion. So yeah...the shaking won't stop. The doctor asked me how many meals I've had today....one, it was breakfast about 12 hours ago. There's part of the problem. So I rest up some more and they stitch up the left side and then move over to the right. Shot more meds in the right seeing how ineffective the shots were on the left side...but the right side took longer. They had to cut on that side...and at one point she slipped...if I wasn't sooo numb I'm sure that would have been really painful. All in all...it was a horrible experience. I still can't eat and I'm not sure when I can go back to work as I can't open my mouth up too much...and my right side is still way tender. I work with kids who think I'm superman...they climb on me and don't really understand that I can be hurt. :(
