Is it safe? *Grrrrnnnowwrnnooorrrrzzzzhhhh...*

Wish me luck... I’m just about to go and get mutilated at the dentists. I have my first ever cavity (not bad considering I’m 28 next month) and as it’s in one of my wisdom teeth, I told the dentist I’d rather if she just yanked it out. Going to the dentist doesn’t scare me, but the bill does. Yeowch! How much?!

Then I will probably munch painkillers all afternoon and watch some films. Weekend was very good, more details in our next exciting instalment.

Good luck.

It will be fine. Fillings are a doddle.

And 28 and this is your first?! Bloody hell. Bastard. I've had loads. WHich really pisses me off, because I brush at least twice, usually three times a day, and floss regularly. And yet, I still have 7 or 8 fillings.

Bah.

[i_kender]

Not a filling, an extraction. I just thought it would be easier. I wasn't really using that tooth anyway.

And yeah, I've just been lucky that way, I guess. Or maybe the drinking water here in the UK is EVIL and makes your teeth rot. I don't know.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Dude! Fillings are way cheaper than extractions.

And yes, it's luck I think. Pure blind luck, and genetics. Is just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

[i_kender]

Ouch. Now you tell me.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Did you see a private or NHS dentist?

[i_kender]

NHS. But it was still pretty pricey.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Lucky. Quadruple it if you'd been unfortunate enough to see a private.

[i_kender]

Eek! It doesn't hurt anymore, but there's this weird... lack. In my mouth, where the tooth used to be. Guess you don't really appreciate something til it's gone, huh?

[i_kender]

Jeez, you must be as bored as I am, huh?

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Aye, pretty much. I have the desire to do ~something~, but I can't think what. I want to write something. But... I keep drawing a blank.

Gods help me if I start tidying up.

[i_kender]

I am bored *to death*! Stuck at home alone with nothing to do... groan. I have just been seeking images for zazu to play with.

Although, you have just reminded me, I did plan on digging out some pastels and giving a drawing a try. *Ponders*

I could try and pimp you some plot bunnies, if you like?

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

You should definitely dig out the pastels.

And I'll find something to write.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

You never know. Last time I went in for a filling I woke up minus two teeth.

[i_kender]

Gee, thanks. Glad I didn't read that *before* the dentists!

Although, to be honest, I was hoping something would go wrong so she could give me a general anaesthetic. Mmmmm, medical grade drugs!!

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Good luck and don't bite the dentist. Best advice I ever got.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

I wish someone had told me that. Mine tastes bloody awful.

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Well, that's the problem with dentists. Opticians usually have better skin cream. No idea why!

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

How exactly did you manage to bite your optician?

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

*hangs head*
It's a long story. I have weird eyes and am slightly defensive and aggressive about my personal space with poor impulse control and bad habits and they get very close.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

*carefully notes down excuse*

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

I kicked my dentist in the head once.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

Perfectly understandable.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

I thought so.

My lingering regret is that I didn't kick him harder.

I was bleeding for days.

[i_kender]

*lol*

[i_kender]

Thanks, it went fine. My mouth is still numb though.

I didn't bite the dentist, she was behaving.

I did not, however, get a lollipop. What is the world coming to? Instead I am going to make myself a raspberry trifle to eat later on. Yum. (Minus the sponge and sprinkles, because I couldn't find any. So, a faux-trifle. Or Faufle.)

[apple-crumble.livejournal.com]

good luck sweetheart! *hugs and kisses*

[i_kender]

Thank you! *tries not to smile, as is ugly sight*

[kimberlychapman.livejournal.com]

I'm way behind on flist and trying to catch up, so I hope by now you're feeling better and doing well! *hugs*

[i_kender]

Yeah I'm fine! It's not like I told people in advance, I posted just before leaving the house. It doesn't hurt but it feels weird. I have a gap right at the back of my mouth. Thanks! :)
