I left home at 8, had jin shin for 1 1/2 hours, left there and zoomed to the dentist, and was there until past 1 pm. Finally got to eat breakfast a little when I got home, numb and hollow. I'm having a crusty crown replaced -- it was put in by the criminal dentist. I didn't think about it at all before I went, then it wound up being longer and slightly more involved than previously thought. I said, mid-way through, "I'm glad I don't know what you are doing." It was about two hours of drilling on top of everything else. I adore my dentist, who is a woman. I have a small mouth and if I'd had a man's hands in there I'd be worse off than I am. I received several stupid shots -- such fun. I've had a lot of smashy/painy crap this week -- maybe next week will be nicer.
