Fat Lip

So right now I’m stalking this pan of lasagna from dinner last night. I can’t wait to heat up my leftovers and go to town. There is a problem, and a reason that I have not yet dug in. Half my face is asleep from the dentist’s anesthesia. Yep, drooly face here had a cavity and had to have the thing filled. It was actually on a tooth that already had a filling so the doc actually had to pull out the old composite and refill the entire thing.

I know, gross.

After the initial shot of anesthesia, the dentist started to drill and I winced as I could still feel a little bit, so he shot me up with an extra dose. After about 15 more minutes of waiting he went back to work, and the entire thing was over in about 20 minutes. Not too bad, except now the entire side of my face is void of sensation and I’ve got a big fat numb lip & I’m afraid to chew anything.

And so I sit. And wait.

The numbness is starting to wear down now, and my mouth is a little sore. But I don’t think it’s too sore to chew lasagna. Well, maybe a little, but rest assured it is not likely to stop me.

B’bye.
