Procedure 3 of 4

So I went to the dentist today for the next quadrant of my mouth being worked over. I got a new hygenist for this section. Melanie worked my mouth over. I asked if she knew [personal profile] allanh or Randy his husband, and she said she knew Randy. This woman has great aim, for this procedure they load you up with lots of injectable anesthetic. Now for the last two procedures, I still felt some of what Gloria was doing, but it wasn't any more painful than the old fashioned scrape the tartar off your teeth with picks that was commonplace 20 years ago. So I didn't stress about it. Melanie stuck that needle in my mouth today and even though it hurt like a son of a bitch, she got the sweet spot. Before she was done my lips and tounge were tingly and going numb. Within a couple of minutes, my teeth went numb. Not the gums, my teeth. I have never had that happen before. I didn't feel a damn thing today. It was awesome!

I'm still thinking about re-scheduling next week's appointment just because I'm tired of all the apptointments I've got in the next couple of weeks....besides, my mouth really needs a break. My jaw really huts.

Oooooohh, she lies like a dog.

We were giggling hysterically for 20 minutes over her mocking her voice recognition computer repeatedly with "2!2!2!".

Remind her I'm the one with the Hep C website. Eventually, she'll remember me.

And I can't wait to see her and tell her how hurt my feelings are that RANDY, the QUIET one she remembered, but ME ... ?

Aren't there 2 Melanie's there?

She liked that Randy seems the type of person whom you can ask a personal question and he'll just give you the straight up facts. (She asked him about his ear holes and how they got that way)

I thought there were 2 Glorias, 1 Melanie.

No idea. I'll ask next week when I go in for the last session.
