I had a crappy day today. I had a routine denstist appointment this morning to have a very small surface cavity filled. This was a mistake. I got into the dentist chair and they gave me the first two shots of novacane (sp?). They waited a few minutes and then checked back to see if my lower lip was numb yet. I told them my tongue was completely numb, but my lip felt fine. So, they gave me another shot and checked back with me again. This time my lip was tiggly, but not numb. The Dr. decided to go ahead and start drilling. She didn't get very far when she hit a nerve and I made her stop. She gave me a fourth shot of novacane and tried again. This time it worked, but by now my mouth was so numb I could have been hit with a softball and not felt it. So, I went home and waited for the novacane to wear off. Around 1:00ish the novacane finally started to wear off. But, this meant that I could feel the pain comming from the area where she injected the shots in my mouth. Since she injected them right at the hinge of my jaw I couldn't open my mouth because it hurt too bad. This meant that I couldn't really eat anything. Around 2:00 I couldn't wait any longer to eat. I started to eat a little when I suddenly felt really nauseous and dizzy. I ran to grab the garbage can and when I came back I was feeling extremely faint. So, I hunched myself over the arm of the couch and called Shawn to tell him to come home because I didn't know what was going on. Then, I used my last ounce of energy to call mom just so I would have someone on the phone with me in case I was having some kind of reaction to the novacane. At this point I started sweating bullets and shaking. Then, after a few minutes of that I started to calm down and everything went back to normal. My best guess is that I had another anxiety attack. This was the first time since my Wisdom Tooth extraction that I've had any dental work done beyond the routine cleaning. I was traumatized by my wisdom tooth experience and I think those memories were surfacing and making me nervous. So, that was the highlight of my day.
No news on the job front yet. Just hoping and praying that something comes along.
