Today, I went to the dentist for a cleaning. I learned that my dentist, who just replaced my former dentist (she retired) is from Houston and wants to go rattlesnake hunting.
Also, despite my careful attention to my teeth I needed four fillings, and my dentist decided that my one wisdom tooth that has come in should probably go. I was glad to see it go but not pleased to be numbed up to my eyeballs (literally) on both sides of my face. I am glad I couldn't feel the extraction, because I could certainly hear the crunching as the dentist pushed the tooth out and it freaked me the hell out.
I drooled on myself for a few hours while my face regained feeling. And now the socket keeps bleeding, so I have a tea bag string hanging out of my mouth. Apparently, the tannins cause the blood vessels to constrict.
On the bright side: I am not covered in cats.
