I apologize for the extended silence here, but life has been active lately. Since January, I've been working with my dentist to get all of my teeth fixed up. He had to break out the jackhammer because I hadn't been to the dentist roughly one time in the previous 8 years. Well, after many drillings and fillings and tooth lengthenings, today was supposed to be the day that the final crown went on, meaning that I could spend another eight years avoiding the dentist.
Since the tooth was way in the back, they gave me a muscle relaxant. After a couple of hours, I'd regain consciousness and everything would be fine. Well, maybe 30 minutes after I take the muscle relaxant, they shake me awake to say that it's actually too tricky of a procedure for me to do; I need to see a specialist for this. As I had just been loaded up with elephant tranquilizers, my response was, "Fflllllllllbrrrrrrrrrreeeeeoooo?" They explained again. I said, "Okay... Flllllllllauuuuuuuuuuuuuubbbbbbbbbsssss?"
A coworker drove me home where I promptly slept for 5 hours. One thing that they told me that actually piqued my interest a bit was that the drug they administered might give me temporary amnesia. Temporary amnesia! If that happens, and perhaps I won't even remember it if it does, it'd probably be the coolest thing to happen to me all week. Just to prepare for any further amnesia tonight, I've hidden my wallet and car keys, and I turned off the power to all of the major appliances. (Note to self: reread this entry when I wonder why I can't turn the oven on.) Back in tip top shape tomorrow, chums.
