People! This is what happens when I get left alone in a dental chair with my IPhone. There was nothing else to do while I waited for my cement to cure, or for the wheelbarrow load of hot, dripping plasticine to form a mold around the stubs of my now mown-down teeth. Thanks to the wonder of technology, my nearest and dearest were treated to a real-time slideshow of my minute by minute adventures. Besides, the pressure was on - I had to trump my sister's cell phone picture of her hair all sticking up in foils at the hair salon that she sent me last month. I'm pretty sure this does it, and if she even thinks she can get me back, I hasten to add that I have a date with the colonoscopy wizard in just a few short months. Ha!
Laughing gas was not offered, nor needed. I did, however need to visit the loo three times during the 4 hour procedure, and every time I looked in the mirror and saw the wild-eyed woman with electric hair complete with blue rubber dam and snaggle teeth prominently displayed, I felt like a bonefide member of the Sesame Street cast. The nitrous would have been a complete waste, given I was already having such a hilarious time enjoying the character in the mirror and firing off texts, emails and pictures. Honestly? Best time I've had in a month.
It's Chance's turn tomorrow, 8 a.m. I'm betting he'll insist on the nitrous, the little wimp.
I think I've seen this person in those "People of WalMart" e-mails....Glad it went well! Couldn't they have at LEAST catheterized you while you had it done? Now THAT would have been a picture!!!! Comox Bee
ReplyDeleteOh my, I so, so regret not having used my cell phone camera during my recent colonoscopy! I am convinced that I could have trumped both my foil highlights and your purple dental dam...or should I say the damn purple elastic dam? Perhaps I will go with Google's insistance that I sign in as anonymous (not that I have a choice). Nobody will guess who made this post, right? XOXOX JWH
