Ahem...

*fidget fidget tug collar*

Well, I went to the dentist on Thursday for what I thought was a missing filling. I expected to get a root canal.

My appt was for 3:30... mistake Number 1. NEVER make an appointment for the end of the day.

They took an x-ray and decided that the tooth was too far gone and had to be extracted. :(

I told them "Gas. I want gas." The dentist was like "It won't hurt, just a little tug."
"GAS".
"OK... nurse, hook him up."

They put me on the gas and 30 SECONDS later the dentist comes over and says "Open up". I figure he's just looking... but NNOOOOO....!! Needle into my gum, followed by two more! WTF!! That's what the gas was for, so I wouldn't FEEL the damn needle!

So I sit there and after 5 mins I'm like.. "Umm.. I don't feel nothing". The nurse looks down and says "Oh, it's on low... hang on." and cranks it up.

3 minutes later and I'm flying. Nitrous is a GREAT high. I just get to my happy place and he comes over and RIP RIP PULL PULL YANK... it's out.

2 minutes later I realize I'm not high anymore... "Am I on oxygen now?" "Yeah, it's almost closing time." :(

So, I stumble out the door with a mouth full of guaze, no stitches and a perscription for Vicodin and a warning not to eat solids for "a while".

Fri thru Sun = suck.

This ends my report on my weekend. Thank you.

Never do a doctor or dentist after 12 on Friday. Bum's rush and they don't care.

Hart is busily making note to self.

Sam, I HATE dentists I'm sorry for your experience. In fact it reminds me I need to call him out for charging me $47 to look at my tooth and say nope, nothing we can do. If he doesn't take that charge off, I'm leaving him. Been with him 20 years, my hubby hates his work, lots of metal, AND he has no laughing gas.

At least it's getting better. A few more days and you'll be able to eat solid food. :)

And lots and lots and lots of hot cocoa. Or warm, I guess. How awful!

Oh yeah... they warned me off of anything "hot or cold".... so warm it is. Also no carbonated drinks... so it's been 4 days since I've had a Coke. :willy_nilly:

:eek All he would see of me is my ass walking out the front door.

I can handle pain if need be... but if there is no need then WHY DO IT?

*cough sissy cough*

I never been put under. The dentist in and around my town don't use drugs for drilling - last year I had to have a filling refilled, couldn't do it at home cause dentist doesn't work on weekends and on weekdays I am at Uni, so I went to a dentist near my university. The dentist asked me if I wanted drugs and I am like "for a drilling? No thanks" and she is like "You are brave" ... I seriously didn't get what the big deal was. :dunno

Hey, I have NO problem admitting that women have a MUCH higher pain tolerance than men.

Child birth?
Bikini waxing?
Eyebrow plucking?

All things that would be outlawed as "cruel and unusual" according to the Geneva Convention in a man's world.
 
:24:

I remember being so drugged up on Vicodin when I got my wisdom teeth pulled, that I kept trying to convince the lady she hadn't given me enough by listing my squares. I was 16. Can we say major nerd moment? The drugs hit me a few seconds after that.

And then when I asked for a mirror so I could watch they said they didn't have one :(

That was REAL blood in that scene. They didn't realize he'd bleed but kept it in.

With men, accepting pain comes from adrenaline. We snap an ankle in a game or get shot in a battle and keep going. We don't feel it until afterwards.

You girls go in, knowing "OK, there are going to pour molten wax over my my sensitive area, wait for it to cool and the RIIIPPP it off in one long strip." :eek Why? So that you look nice (and bear a striking resemblance to a Barbie doll).

It's like high heels... slap them on a man and he'll give you his debit card code in 3 minutes. Yet, you can walk around in them for hours because "they make my legs look good."


Women is some crazy peoples....

Don't forget make-up is a daily torture they endure too.

And don't let them claim it's to look good for us.

I think it was Gloria Steinam who said "We women get dressed for other women but get undressed for men." When a woman is getting ready in the morning she is doing so to impress OTHER WOMEN.

There's a reason that the ABSOLUTE sexiest look a woman has is just walking around in a man's dress shirt with her hair a random mess (FFH). ;)

OK...I'm high on Vicodin so I know why I'M wandering topic-wise, but how did a thread about my trip to the dentist turn into a chat about female primping rituals?:willy_nilly:
