Novocaine

[podling]

Right, so now I really, really know, I *do* actually need a very, very strong dosage of novocaine to be numb for any kind of root canal thing. Really. The guy ended up injecting the 7th and 8th shots directly into the tooth itself. I'm just not good with sharp stabbing pain is all. Ow.

Aaach! Once you're out of there (well, that's probably now, I don't think dentists have net access) take arnica for the bruising and bleeding, and mucho painkillers, and don't let anyone punch you in the face... I've only got up to 5 injections, and I have extra nerve supply...
Much sympathy...

Yeah, that was yesterday. Today it's just tender and achy bruised. I decided not to take the strong pain pills to work, since I might've ended up loopy, but when I get home, oh yeah.
