Some rambling and a rough day...
Today I went for another visit to the dentist specialist so that he could finish up my root canal. I was fine at first when I got in the chair but not even 1/2 way through the appointment I almost passed out. At first I didn’t say anything but then it started getting really bad to the point I had no choice. I asked if I could sit up for a minute and of course they said yes. By this time I had sweat pouring off of me! They kept asking me if I was ok and stuff and I replied I was, I just needed a minute. In the mean time the doctor got a call from another doctor so he went to take it. The assistant was like are you sure that you’re ok. All I could say was I’m really hot. So she got me some cold rags and a glass of water. She took her hands and felt my forehead and then ran them down my arms. I think she was checking to see if I was hot or something. She was like I need to get the doctor and had someone else come and sit with me until she got back. Did I mention by this point I was mortified and so embarrassed??? Because I was! The doctor came back into the room and kept asking me a bunch of questions and asking me if I was ok. I just wanted to be done at this point, so I told him I was good to go. He started working on my tooth again, this time with me sitting up to see if maybe me having to lay back was the problem. I was ok for a few minutes but then I started feeling all goofy again and sweating my ass off. They were trying to hurry up and just get done and that was fine, I wanted them done. When he got to my back roots I could still feel everything he was doing which I don’t think I should have because there should be no nerves or whatever there. I didn’t say anything though because I just needed him to be done at this point. I wasn’t sure how much longer I was going to hold out. So he finished a little while later and I made it without passing out. Thank goodness! Hopefully what I felt was just a little tenderness and he did get everything he needed to. After he was done I just sat there for a couple of minutes and when I got up out of the chair my clothes were soaked from sweating so bad but my skin was cold and clammy. It was terrible! I went out to the car and sat in the air conditioning for a little bit before I drove to make sure I was ok. I called John and told him the whole story. He talked to me until I got to work ok. I’ve been really tired all day and I have a headache. I just can’t wait for the day to be over…
