Okay, so I survived the dentist. Unfortunately, I forgot my Mother's Little Helper (the Ativan), so getting the lidocaine injections wasn't fun at all. Actually, I almost screamed with each injection - needed in order to give me more injections of lidocaine.

But, I do have my permanent crowns - it just seems weird to have them, considering that I'd gotten used to the temporaries. Now, the numbness is wearing off, and I'm starting to be able to feel my face again. And it was kind of funny that my dentist said that I could get a lip piercing since I was so numbed up. I'd think that she'd be the last person to be cool with that kind of piercing, because they have a reputation for fucking up teeth. Then again, maybe that's why she's cool with it. More business! ;)

Anyways, I'm relegated to soft foods for the next couple of days - yep, back to soup, mashed potatoes, Jamba Juice and maybe even ice cream or frozen yogurt for lunch!

So, that's that.

I am so glad that it is over and you came through it all OK.

If your weather is anything like ours is right now, you could very happily live on ice cream for a few days.

Thank you! :)

The weather is pretty decent, at least mid-day. And if I'm not careful, I could eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's in one sitting - well, I do what I can, to not eat too much!

Ooh, could you send some decent weather up here? Pretty please?

I am a big fan of eating a pint of ice cream in one sitting. It's one of the fun parts of being a girl.

Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge is my drug of choice.

I'll do what I can! If nothing else, I'll keep sending up the Patrick goodness, which could certainly help bring the temperature up a few degrees!

Oh no, no, no. I cannot think about Patrick at all. It is already way too hot here and I am just dying. Patrick just makes it hotter. I would probably explode. ;-)

Glad to hear everything went well! :)

I used to take Valium before my appointments. I need so much novocaine my appointments usually lasted half a day.

Yep - once I got past the pain, it went quite well. One of the many, many reasons that I love my dentist.

When I was younger, I'd have to get an insane number of shots of novocaine - just for a filling! The lidocaine with an epinepherine chaser seems to help, which means fewer shots! The anti-anxiety drugs really helped the last time. Could've really helped when I was younger and insanely antsy in the chair!
