Dentist Visit
Well, it's been several hours since my dentist appointment at noon today. And I generally have to say that I am happy with the outcome. But shit, did my metabolism speed up - one shot of novocaine only lasted about 10-15 minutes. I ended up with four or five shots, plus novocaine squirted on my tongue, tooth, gums and the spaces between the tooth being worked on. Fucking told ya the tooth needed repair. I have never needed more than three shots and that was for a partial root-canal. I have often just had routine fillings done without anything at all. So guess what darling, you are the good patient (he mentioned before starting) and I am the unruly, problematic one :)
Finally just to get it over with and not to piss off the dentist more I just winced and didn't say anything.
Took one hour and four minutes to do one filling, but the fucking thing is that he charged me for FOUR!! $217.00 all told, but it's estimated that the insurance will cover #173.00 of it. WTF!
I missed the bus (I was at a red light and the bus was right across the street at a McDonald's) so I walked home. I really didn't feel like taking it in the first place, and definitely wasn't going to wait twenty minutes for the next one. The funny, sad thing is the bus, the one I would have catch if I waited, came past our stop just as I was walking up the driveway. Take that UTA, Prowned!!
But now I have to convince our dentist that I am not a weak, whiny, little crybaby who can't stand any pain. Oh, well - go figure.
