Treated Like a Queen

This morning I had the opportunity to sit back in a reclining chair that had a built in massager. I put on my headphones, closed my eyes and listened to my MP3 player for well over two hours. Right before that, I was shot with Novocain, twice. Most of that two hours, I had to have my mouth opened wide while the dentist drilled and picked and who knows what in order to crown my poor broken tooth. With new technology, they are able to do a crown in just one visit now. The assistant put a rubber mouth prop between my teeth on the opposite side to help me keep my mouth opened. I motioned to her and she told me to take it out. I asked her if they had a smaller one because that one was making me gag. (No one can accuse me of having a big mouth. Just ask my dentist.) She told me that one was the child's size. So we made due without it. I must say thank you to Patricia for giving me the idea of bringing the MP3 player along. It helped to pass they time and keep my mind off of what they were doing. I was listening to the homeschool convention that I went to earlier this summer. One of the speakers was quite humorous. It's hard to laugh when your mouth is numb and filled with all sorts of drilling, sucking, squirting things and a pair of hands or two. Thankfully, it's all done now. I just have to wait until the Novocain wears off. I should be able to eat something by dinnertime tonight.
