Drool worthy

Headed out to the Dentist this morning for fillings # 1 and 2. They numbed the begeesus out of my face- which I was glad for- (I told them about previous dentist nightmare) and then went to work. Fillings were done and I went along my way.  My face felt like the face from Mask- weird and lumpy.

(Ryan and Sara- WHY DIDN’T WE HAVE THIS FOR HALLOWEEN!? WE’RE FOOLS!)

Though it totally looked normal- in my mind it looked crazay! I had asked the dentist before I left if there was anything I needed to know and she said just not to eat anything that involved a lot of chewing so that I wouldn’t accidentally chew my lip off and not realize it because it was numb. (Just like what happened to Mr. Potato head last year in the gruesome image)

So I get home and decide I want cereal…and somewhere in that decision determined that the kind of stuff the Dentist was talking about was like…Laffy Taffys and Mentos.

Clearly not Special K almond vanilla crunch.

So I sit down and attempt to eat the cereal. Figured out quickly that chewing with both sides of my mouth were not an option. (The two cavities this week were on the same side of the mouth) So I figured out that I could tilt my head sideways and dump the cereal into the “feeling” side of my face. Just like that creepy Neti Pot lady..

 

So I was all proud of myself for that one. Then I said to myself “self- how do we know we are not chewing on our lip?” Well…sure enough we were…SIGH.  Needing a new plan because the almond deliciousness was getting soggy. So I then figured out I could take my lip and hold it outward with my hands and then chew and not have to worry about explaining the blood dripping down my face later!

(Pretend that tattoo is really teeth marks and that’s what it looks like)

I finished eating (successfully I might add) and felt my face…sure enough on the numb side there was a whole lot of extra cereal tucked in the corner of my lips…OK- I get it Dentist…chewing a lot is not just a Laffy Taffy type scenario. My bad. I have to get the other two cavities done in 2 weeks. That time maybe I’ll buy some yogurt just to be sure. What do you think of that Jamie Lee Curtis?

Still talking with a bit of a lisp- Ryan was worried about my ability to say 465 with the lisp- in fact- it is VERY difficult- I tried it at home. But other than that- I’m almost all un-numbed. Though I keep checking for drool just to be sure.

Tyson went to get his little Tysons removed today. I would say he’d come back a whole new man buutttt…maybe a whole new eunuch is a better phrase to use?  Either way- hopefully that’ll calm him down a bit. He is getting better in general though. With Abby gone he’s calmed down quite a bit.

OK- well off to do my usual findings of ridiculous things to talk about! Have a great one!

**Today’s phrase of the day** Don’t mess with the bull- you’ll get the horns.
