Stop in for a cup of coffee
Well I am home from a solid two plus hours in dentists chair getting broken tooth repaired. It was zero fun. I took my ear buds and tried to drown out the drills and grinders with Joe Bonamassa shredding his guitar. Doc said I would have discomfort this afternoon and to take some ibuprofen. F that I am taking muscle relaxers and Bourbon. Holy smokes my jaw is sore. Dentist terrifies me. My pain tolerance is actually pretty high but I think it is the laying back upside down not being able to defend myself that amps me up. My fight or flight DNA is very strong! The first shot for numbing I thought holy crap I gotta do something my heart went into warp speed. I told Doc I needed to sit up and calm down for a minute. He then explained that the Novacain or whatever they use to numb you has a ingredient in it that can be a stimulant to the heart, like a epi pen. Turns out I am one of those that it has that effect on. My heart was racing. I then explained that I do not ingest caffeine or sugar as my body does not like stimulants. I would have sucked as a dope addict! Freaked me out. Second shot I was mentally prepared so rode it out with no issue. Holy crap I am glad it is over.
