My teeth and gums and tongue and cheek all hurt again after Wednesday’s visit to the dentist.
It’s not as bad as it was Wednesday evening when the Novocain wore off. But what’s weird is how it felt fine yesterday. What’s even more weird is that the side that she worked on four weeks ago is the side that hurts more now than the side she worked on two days ago.
Plus, my tongue and the inside of my cheek is sore from being bitten and nicked while I had no control of pain feedback while all numbed up. On top of all of that, the side of my mouth (is there a technical, anatomical term for that that I’m too spacy to think of right now? the spots at the far left and right where the lower and upper lips meet?) is raw from having them yanking on it all day on Wednesday to get at the spots way in the back that they needed to reach.
Now I know how largemouth bass feel when they’re being reeled in.
What are you looking forward to doing this weekend?
What am I looking forward to? Telling you the shaggy dog story about the wide mouth frog, probably, but I hope you already know it 🙂
I think that other side of your mouth is suffering from ‘memory pain’. The nerves haven’t quite recovered, they’ve just reawakened.

Perhaps the cure for memory pain is alcohol? Anything to make those nerves forget!

Something neat swilled around the mouth and then swallowed, I think 🙂
