Your Sweetness Causes Me Such Endless Pain
May. 7th, 2009 04:19 pmSo it's my first diurnal weekend, and
ojouchan and I celebrated by going to . . . a dentist!
Today was the rescheduled appointment for my first filling. The earlier attempt failed when I wouldn't stay insensate; today, they injected me with lots and lots of drugs to be extra sure. Last time, I could mostly feel my mouth as I left the building; now, I'm only just able to feel again, several hours later.
When I was a kid, dentists' offices had TVs on, endlessly playing whatever reruns they could tune in. Now, we bring MP3 players into the chair to provide our own soundtrack. When I hit "shuffle songs" to start the procedure, "Sweet Blue Flag" from the soundtrack of Killer 7. On the one hand, it sounded really cool. On the other hand, it sounded really creepy.
Ojou had to go too. Her root-canaled tooth acted up yesterday, and she had it checked out this morning with me. The X-rays looked fine, so we think it's just inflamed. But for today, at least, we're strictly a ramen household.
