That's sweet you guys. If you want to know what my weekend was like, here's my blog post about it.
http://baddog.com/2009/08/18/not-an-upbeat-weekend/I'm on the mend now and my mind has cleared from all the pain meds and the pain. It was a very strange feeling. I am confident that I've found a good dentist now and I'll be fine. I've got a problem mouth, that is for sure. Plus, I'm rather resistant to novocaine or whatever they use to numb things. I went to this dentist because it was sort of an emergency and my regular dentist is 4 hours away. He had done work on some friends and they were happy, I should have realized they are British and the Brits aren't known for great dentistry
<<that's a joke>>
Howell, you should get a kick out of this. My Spanish comprehension kind of went out the window with the pain and the meds. The dentist kept telling me the tooth was
flojo which means lazy but what I didn't know is that it also means loose. I could not figure out why I had a lazy tooth. It was all kind of mooshy really, I had a hard time understanding English too, I would suddenly realize that Mimi was speaking to me in English and I should really try and understand. Odd.
Anyway, I will keep checking in here. The people are great and I think I'll just stay away from the touchy subjects.
ps. the profile pic is really me. I thought it would be nice to show my face when I'm speaking and be more personal. It's not a great face but I'm used to it. Sorry about the shades, the sun is bright down here
