Chronic Creativity

At The Dentist’s Office

Normally, I tolerate pain very well; more so than most people do. But, today, I experienced the worst dentist visit ever. They stabbed and poked around my gums with the dental anesthetic, waited a while, then went to work once I was numb. I started to feel the sharp pain of the drill they used. I told them. So they poked me with even more anesthetic. I continued to feel pain, but I toughed it out (most toughing-out I have ever endured). The entire right side of my mouth was limp for the following 6 hours. I couldn’t smile, drink, sip, could barely talk, without looking the a total idiot. I went into the bathroom and laughed for about 10 minutes as I discovered everything the right side of my face couldn’t do. That was the worst dentist visit ever. I had a good laugh, but after excruciating pain. (Next time, I will just tell them to knock me out with laughing gas.)
