Sadly, this does not continue with an upbeat love (sex) song. With a stretch of time in Mexico ahead of me, I decided to go get everything medical that might need poking, prodding, looking at, gone over or otherwise examined poked, prodded, looked at, gone over and otherwise examined. Physical? Check. Blood work? Excellent. Girl parts? Healthy. First ever mammogram? Not bad at all (although I get why it could be an unhappy experience for women not of a certain size). Eyes? In need of glasses, but we knew that. Teeth?
Damn.
I've had a hollow feeling in a lower left molar for a while now. Turns out the silver filling I got back when I was ten or something is beginning to crack. Apparently, they have a shelf life and I've reached it. This has nothing to do with my oral hygiene, I am assured. Still...dude...
So give a call this afternoon if you want a laugh because they're numbing me up. Should make for interesting conversation. At least they sent me home to have lunch before.
Those are Pobble Thoughts. That and a buck fifty will get you coffee.

ooo...Sorry to here it. I didn't mind fillings so much when I used to get nitrous but the novocaine numbing thing is the worst. I'm reminded of Bill Cosby's bit about visiting the dentist and his bottom lip dropping to the floor. Good luck! : )
Keeping you in my thoughts. But hey good drugs are never bad.
Whew! You had me worried. I was afraid it was something more serious. My dentist keeps telling me that the fillings I had around that age will need to be replaced at some point, so I empathize completely.
Cam Pike ~ I kept thinking about Cosby and that routine as well...while I was drooling. lol
Dennis R ~ Thank you. I decided against the nitrous oxide although when they pulled out the Big Ol' Honkin' Needle, numb or not, I couldn't quite remember why.
Mike C ~ Sorry to scare you. I promise should I ever have to break news like that here (and I've thought I was going to have to a couple of times), I won't make it this lighthearted so you'll have more warning. ;)
Dental work is no good at all. Hopefully, your mouth is back to normal & you'll be fine again for a long while. I went to the Dentist last week & I have an early stage cavity, something I haven't had since I was 10 years old. Ridiculous. I'm going to make them give me the laughing gas.
$$ ~ Amen and Blessed Be to laughing gas! And yes, my mouth is fully functioning again but wow it was weird last night.
