Fast forward to this past Monday. I am sitting in the dental chair (which I didn't agonize about for days before hand, oh no, not me) awaiting my really attractive dentist to come at me with some very long needles. Actually I have no idea what the needles looked like, as although I am not a needle phobic, I did NOT want to see these that were headed in my mouth. It took 3 injections to completely get me numb. What a crazy feeling. I guess the whole procedure took less than an hour, but the aftermath was the worse.
I did NOT whine complain on Twitter that day about my numbness that seemed to go on and on and on. Oh no, I'm tough. I did NOT then complain when the numbness wore off that I felt I had been hit in the jaw. I mean, come on, it's not like I'm the first person to experience Novocaine, after all! I also gave birth to three children, how can a little Novocaine send me over the edge? Let me just tell you my jaw still hurts. I am still taking extra strength pain meds a couple of times a day. It seems a bit strange to me that I would still be hurting this badly. Crazy, the tooth doesn't and never has hurt, but the jaw? Yeah, the jaw is painful.
Guess what? I get to go back to the dentist on Thursday for more x-rays and to schedule a cleaning. Oh boy! I am very excited and no, I'm not sarcastic. Ever. Oh no, not me!

No... not you! LOL
The shots aren't fun, but I think the worst part is the numbness that lingers on and on and on... I'm always afraid I'll bite the inside of my mouth while it's numbe and won't know it.
Needles don't bother me at all. Never have. Unless they want to stick them in my mouth. Then they bother me a lot.
Those novacain shots hurt like a mo fo! I hope you're on the mend!
