I had to get a cavity filled today.
And THAT annoys me to be honest! I am so crazy about brushing and flossing and using mouthwash... i cant BELIEVE i had a cavity. but i guess maybe because i brush so much i made the tooth more vaulnerable to cavitites because i wore it down... whatev. so anyways... i had to get my tooth drilled.
So my good jewish dentist novacained me up... ahh, yes, Dr. Solomon believes heavily in novacaine. and i enjoy that, because the last thing i had planned for a thursday morning (the best day of the week) was feeling a small metal object be jammed the nerve ending in my mouth. indeed... i enjoy the numbing.
So he finnished his drilling and filling and... billing? haha. (i think our insurance takes care of it... i just needed something to rhyme it with... lol) so anyways... It didnt hurt. I was golden, and so was my molar now! however, the whole---and i mean WHOLE--left side of my face was numb... i mean.... NUMB! haha. so i cant feel my lip, my tongue, my jaw... NOTHING.
well... being the thinker that i am, i want to go to subway for lunch. Theres a smart idea... go somewhere where you have to chomp a giant sub and chew it all up... etc. so, we went there... i got my norm (PS. there should be an olimpic event for saying "swiss cheese" with your mouth numb. it comes out more like... 'thwith teaze'... that was fun... haha) ... and we sat at a window table...
well.. first bite was slow and awkward... (was that my lip, or the wheat bread?) i chewed wicked slow... chomp....... crunch........ chew........
I gained some confidence, and got about 3 bites into the sub (by now my mom has nearly finnished hers... this is how slowly i am chewing) when my mom's face has a look of horror on it... "WHAT?" I ask... "Jenny, you bit yourself."
I guess when she looked up at me, blood was dripping down my lips... mmm... thats hot. haha. (I told you all i was a vampire... )
by the end of the meal i had gnawed through my lip (i now have a fat left bottom lip), bitten my tongue in a few spots, and chomped down on the side of my cheek. Yes, im so elegant at lunchtime....
I worked at 2... and the numbness hadnt gone away by then... when it finally did.... MAN did my mouth hurt. the tooth was fine... but my mouth is sooooo sore now. now that i have numerous open wounds in my mouth and my jaw hurts from where he stuck the needle in... 
so... in conclusion... dont go to subway if youve had dental work done and are still numb. you will end up hurting later. 
and also... im a big baby. haha
