Round 3 starts today at 3:00pm CST. Yes, this is my third root canal in just 3 months. I am afraid that dentist is thinking I have done Meth or some other destructive drug to cause such havoc on my teeth. Nope, just too much junk food and soda pop. I am praying hard that they will be able to numb my mouth completely this time and I will not hear the drill and then the dreaded pain when you are not completely numb. Last month they ended up giving me 2 shots directly into the nerve to numb the tooth completely. I think I am going to beg them to just do that. I can deal with that pain for just one second rather then thinking that eventually I will feel the drill on my nerve. I am also really looking forward to the laughing gas. I think that is my favorite part. When I am breathing in the laughing gas I feel, well, just wonderful. I don't have any cares in the world and I couldn't give a rats ass that they are drilling into what seems like my brain. I am afraid if it was available to me I would quickly become addicted to that. It just feels so darn good. So by 5pm this evening I will yet again be on my liquid diet. I am having chili for dinner and then for probably the next two days very soft foods. The tooth itself doesn't hurt that bad afterwards, it's where they give me the shots and then the fact that my mouth is wide open for 2 hours.
Last night we watched An American Haunting. It was actually very good. A little scary, but once I got used to the fact that things would be flying in from nowhere I was ok. I knew I was going to have bad (or at least weird) dreams from watching it. The one dream I do remember from last night was more a nightmare then a bad dream. I was at the casino and they were not letting me in because I was gay. I demanded to be let in and they refused. I told them I didn't understand how two straight people can get married after just knowing each other for 55 hours (I think I got this from Britney Spears being married to that one guy for just 55 hours) , but I am in a committed relationship for 2 1/2 years and and I can't gamble.They ended up searching me and I felt completely violated. And they still didn't' let me in. It was horrible. I got no sympathy from Laura this morning. She was laughing too hard to be comforting.
3 weeks from today is our big announcement. Normally I can't keep my mouth shut this long, but Laura has made me swear not to say anything. The excitement is almost overwhelming for me. Maybe a little laughing gas will calm my ass down.

Hope all goes well at the dentist - I'll be thinking about you Hon!
I need to just tell you that I am 100% with you on the addiction to laughing gas. I've had to go into the dentist two different times and each time they made me request the laughing gas (which makes me feel like a drug addict!).
I love it. I love it when my feet start going numb and my head feels light.
It's the only drug that I would do if it were legal.
patticake--thanks so much patti. once i get under the influece of laughing gas i really don't care how it goes. :)
pregnantintx--last time i had to request it and i was thinking, "do they think i am an addict", but then once the gas hit me i just didn't care.
" . . . thinking I have done Meth . . . " and "do they think i'm an addict?" Ohmygawd, girl you've been working at that place tooooooo long!! You're starting to think like. . . T.H.E.M. You are such a hoot!!
I just saw that movie the other night, did you know it's based on a true story? I was so mad that they changed the ending to not be what it seemed...because in real life it was MUCH SCARIER!!!! Look on the web about the "Bell Witch" and you'll see. 'Nuf said, don't want to spoil it for anyone.
Thoughts are with you today, I can't believe it's your 3rd root canal. Hope it goes ok.
i LOVE LOVE LOVE that wonderful gas. i get so giddy and always find myself falling in love with those ceiling lights. the smell of that sweet mask as the gas slowly takes over your body is heavenly. how i wish i had a tank by my bedside. (yeah, its arousing.....lol). any other nitrous tales....or is it just me who gets like that?
