There is no dentist out there who will knock you completely out. I looked.

It’s about 6:20am … and i have slept like a baby. Prince Valium. Last night they had me take some before I went to bed… and this morning… another dose at 6am. I’m concerned that it won’t be enough. I have what they would call a ‘phobia’ of the dentist chair, which is why it’s been over 20 years since i’ve been to the dentist!

So they have this thing now that they call ‘Conscious Sedation’ … sorta like ‘Government Intelligence’. It’s basically just the Valium… intended to reduce your anxiety, but still have you awake during the procedure. I think i may need more.

When meeting with the dentist and his assistant, one of the questions i asked…more of a statement… ‘i have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol and drugs’. They said… ‘not these drugs’. uh huh. i think i may need more.

I should have opted for the IV sedation instead of these stupid pills. They can regulate that real-time.

i’m afraid i might kick someone in the nuts.

The one thing I don’t get about this Conscious Sedation thing… is that you’re awake through the entire procedure… just that you apparently don’t care at all what they are doing to you, and don’t remember any of it either. i really think i may need more!

I’m getting 2 of my wisdom teeth out, 3 fillings, and a cleaning. I thought I was getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth out, but apparently 1 of them is in a precarious position (read that - facing forward out of my mouth!) … and the other apparently doesn’t need to come out?

Gawd I’m hungry!

they told me i couldn’t eat or drink anything this morning. actually from midnight on… i’m starving! maybe i’ll stop for a milkshake on my way back home. my friend evan is coming to pick me up. not sure what condition i’ll be in when he does! more to follow… maybe…
