Mind Numbing Experience
So I went to the dentist for the first part of a root canal procedure. It seemed like it took more shots than usual to get my mouth numb. I try to keep my eyes closed during the drilling and focus my mind on other things because I hate the sound of the drill. What can I think about? Do I need to get anything at the grocery store? Are there any wedding gifts I need to buy this year? Whose birthday have I forgotten? When will they finish this drilling? On and on and on the drilling sound goes making my mind so numb I can hardly think.
Finally, it’s over and I leave with a very numb tongue and lips. So much for an enjoyable lunch. There’s a milkshake with my name on it somewhere.
