This week has been,well, a change. Toothache, fear of sitting in the dentist's chair once more, living with an open dental hole bigger than before and now, sort of numbness.
Talking of numbness, on my first sitting, the dentist settled me in the chair, did some cleanup and said she was going to inject me with local anesthetic. I remembered the sensation from before and I was prepared. But nothing like that happened! The dentist drilled and whatever, it pained, she soothed me as if I was a kid and I got out of the chair shaking. The dentist gave me the dos and the don'ts, prescribed the painkiller and said, "You know, in some time the anesthetic will...". I said, "Start kicking in?" She said, "No, wear off!". I said I hadn't felt any effect in the first place. She was surprised and going against her own previous advice, patted my affected cheek. I felt everything. She gave up and said it was a mild dosage. I said okay. I mean, what would I do!
It turns out that the dentist couple are from my native place.
