Today I was reminded why I hate going to the dentist. Picture this ...while sitting in the nice recliner you are first asked by the attendant - Are you comfortable???? How can she ask if I'm comfortable? I'm about to have my brains pulled out through a hole which has mysteriously appeared in my tooth...Mind you all I can think about are the nice chewy tropical swedish fish I love to enjoy, or the soft chewy taffy I love to exercise my teeth on, or the nice dark chocolate, or the soft now and laters...oh my, oh my, oh my, I lost control for a minute--ok where was I --oh yes. Am I comfortable? well needless to say it would help a great bit if Doctors gave out ear plugs prior to clipping on those PAPER droll bibbs to your blouse--wait a minute whats that noise? I don't remember seeing any hard hats around or any "careful under construction" signs any where in sight. Suddenly I see a miniature drill coming directly towards my mouth.... YIKES! do I yell and look like a fool or do I play tough girl? Forget the tough girl ...YIKES!!!! call me a WIMP! Who created this instrument? Why didn't they design it so the motor isn't intimidating? The drilling keeps going on and on and on and on... (I want to Yell) Just pull the @#@ tooth!!! At last I'm finished! how could I forget the novacain? The entire side of my face is not there - or is it-I can't feel my tongue - -I think I just bit the side of my jaw...I'll probably feel that later once this stuff fades away. Ok. finally finished. Fresh Start--New outlook on life--better food choices-RIGHT!--extra brushing-RIGHT!--Oh the promises we make but fail to keep.... The Doctor says as I'm leaving the office "After four more appointments you'll be back on track" Is he kidding???? Does anybody have any swedish fish or taffy???
