Wii, that was a bit of fun with the numb mouth. Or at least I thought so. And indeed I had fun and the banter that you suggested was a great distraction from the exploration, digging and such with sharp objects in the mouth. The (before-hand dreaded) hour went by quickley. The difference was I went in there determined I was going to have some fun (thanks to your posting). And I did. Because I told myself to relax before hand, "let's have some fun". Carried the attitude on to today, took the afternoon off and headed to the golf course. Best score in my entire life, by 8 strokes. That makes a "back to back" for me, two weeks ago scored my best ever in another sporting event, two spots behind a international champion. I NEVER thought I could accomplish that or ever come close. Yet, I did. So this evening poured a rather large glass(es) of wine and contemplated. What's going on here? How did I do this? A lot of practice (answer in the negative)? The internal answer was : "you finally let go". It is amazing how the former and current conflicts can impact our lives in many ways, yet, we don't recognize until we are away from them. Wii, thanks for the tips on dealing with dental people (and everyone else that jumped in on the thread on that topic). Just get back to who you are, and everything else falls into place, and you also may be amazed as to who that (you) person is, and what they are capable of doing.
