Post dental appoitment...
So I did it. I spent the night at my mom's house the night before, and took the valium before bed. The next morning I took the trilazoram, and didn't really expect much, but... Boy was I wrong. I had read that it had some amnesiac properties. Holy crap, I remember taking it, and waiting for mom to take me, but I don't remember the ride there. Then, I remember being told to use the bathroom. I'm sure I did, but don't know...Then I was in the chair, and the dentist was there, and they asked me what radio station I listened to, and popped some headphones on me, and a sleeping mask thing. I kind of recall a little novocaine , but only in a disjointed kind of way. After that, I really don't recall much of anything. I've been told I rode in a wheelchair from the dentist to mom's car. In fact the next thing I know was that I was at Steak'n'Shake getting a strawberry shake, well mom bought two. We took them home, and I ate one, and then went to sleep. I only vaguely recall the shake... Apparently I asked mom what they fixed on her car while she waited for me, like 4 times during the ride home. I had to ask her again later.
I don't know a whole lot about what they did, but they seem to have done what they are supposed to, and did it very well. The thing that surprised me is that I don't really have any gum pain. My jaw on the other hand, is rather sore. Apparently they had to use quite a bit of novocaine, and that is why my jaw is sore.
If you have never used a WaterPik, let's just say it is an interesting experience. The control for the pressure is on the handle, and it is very easy to end up hosing down the entire bathroom, and not really doing much as far as flossing goes. I have to use it every day, and I hope that the learning curve is not as steep as I it seemed last night. On the other hand there may have still been some residual drugs in my system.
I have to go back at the end of the month for a follow-up, and after that I will have to have very regular, and kind of frequent cleanings to make sure that things don't get out of control.
