Day 229: I Can't Feel My Face/Comfortably Numb/Let it Rain- Thank you President Obama!! :)


Happy Teeth!













I just had a very successful dental visit. I  usually cringe when I think of all those high-pitched whirring, squealing instruments.

But I found a wonderful dentist. And I have Obama to thank for the insurance. Because of Obamacare I am able to qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, since they lowered the income requirements. Thank you President Obama!

I have two chipped teeth on my  lower front. Ugly. Shameful. Makes it look like I practice poor dental hygiene. But I brush and floss religiously! I didn't have a cavity until I was 36! But I think my binge eating caught up with me. And my 6-pack of Diet Coke-a-day habit. This is embarrassing to admit!
Before

After!

So when my dentist asked if I was numb yet, after the shot of Novocaine, I told her "I can't feel my face"! The assistant started to giggle. Later I told her I was "comfortably numb". Then when assistant sprayed my mouth with water, she said, "Let it rain"!

I have never enjoyed a dental appointment so much in my life!  I wished these wonderful women a Merry Christmas. They said they were closing up early today.

It helps to have a playlist, doesn't it!

I should add, "Don't worry, Be Happy"! Good song for the season. And for life!

Happy Thursday!

Peace, joy and love.
