Ah, where to start. Sorry I haven't had much to write about lately. I've been kind of blah and nothing of substance has occurred lately...until yesterday.

Wow! I had an experience like the one you had when you were 7, except I was 20. The dentist had given me novacaine but I don't know if it was a bad batch or what because it had NO effect. It was my first cavity though so I didn't know what novacaine was supposed to feel like. Anyway he started drilling and it hurt so bad I started shaking and sweating. I tried to tell him to stop but he couldn't understand me and the pain was so bad I ended up yelling. He took his sweet time to stop and then said I was being melodramatic and there was NO way I could feel him drilling. I wouldn't let him near my mouth again until I had so much novacaine I couldn't feel anything for a long long time. Anyway when he started drilling again he started asking me questions that I couldn't answer with a drill in my mouth. He was like, "So you're married? It was kind of rude of you not to invite me to your wedding, don't you think?" I've stressed out about dentists ever since.

I'm glad you've got someone taking care of you in the food department. You poor thing!!!! I hope you feel better soon.

Oh, that is terrible! And for him to ask you a question like that when you are in such a vulnerable position is ridiculous. I don't think I'd see that dentist ever again...

I definitely didn't go back to him. He was a little different. I haven't had an experience like that since thankfully.
