The dentist visit terrified me much more than my visit to the cancer doctor did. Last week all he did was give me antibiotics. That brought the swelling down so I was able to work the Chrysalis. Yesterday he started giving me shots. I lost count after 16. Then he brought out a little white table and lined up a row of shiny pointy things on it. He got out a tray of router bits and left that beside them, then left the room. He was gone for about 20 minutes while the shots had their effect. The only thing for me to do is try not to stare at these devices he is evidently planning to use in my mouth. Meanwhile my whole face is going numb, including my eyelids. I have never had my eyelids go numb. I’ve never even heard of that! By the time he came back, my swallowing muscle was numb and wouldn’t work, and I was drooling, and I suspected I was having heart palpitations. Did I read somewhere that the numbing medicine causes heart attacks? It felt like I was having one. Altogether I spent two hours in the chair. Most of that time with two people having both hands and several pieces of equipment in my mouth at once. Then I slept for 12 hours recuperating. It was horrible. I could only eat soup and smoothies. My jaw was so sore, it was 24 hours before I could open my mouth wide enough to eat real food.
He asked why I hadn’t come in to the dentist for nearly 7 years. Duh!!
