Dentist

I spent the entire morning in the dentist's chair. I caught Metro Access over at 5:30 AM and didn't get out until almost 11:00 AM. He did the root canal and filled a cavity. The cavity alone would normally have done me in. Actually, it didn't really hurt at the time. I can feel the Novocaine beginning to wear off now, though. Let's all just keep our fingers crossed.

At one point he said to his assistant, "Wow - it's dark in there. I can't see anything."

The COST for all this was (get ready) $3,000.00, which certainly answers the question, "Why in the world would anyone want to be a dentist?"

I'm now trying to drink soda out of a can with a mouth that's entirely numb. This would cause a great deal of halarity, were I to be in a better mood.

And, to top it off, the TV is still broken. A TV repairman ordered a part and is supposed to come tomorrow and fix it, so, once again, please keep your fingers crossed.
