Yikes, Burrell! I'm not a fan of painful medical procedures that involve burning. You know, unlike the vast majority of humanity who love it.
Ugh, just heard that a baseball coach I knew from Little League committed suicide. Not a close friend of mine, but somebody I've known at the ball fields since Emmett was 8. He had chronic depression and was switching meds and something went awry.
I feel so sorry for his son and family.
I got medically burnt once. The smell was disconcerting. You might want to distract yourself from that.
Ginger, much peace and strength to you and your family. My condolences.

Carmex (or some other strong-smelling lip goop), applied right under the nose. It really does work, at least for me.

If only they'd told me there was going to be cauterising. But I don't think I was getting out of that without trauma. There are some things that shouldn't be done under local.

You are correct. Then again, I am the fool who refuses novacaine when at the dentist. Every filling I've ever gotten has been done without anything, let alone a local.
I am so tired, both physically and mentally. The mental portion is only going to get worse. Someone please wake me up somewhere around January 31, 2012. Thanks.

I did that. Once. Only once.

You guys are braver than I am.
It's quite pathetic that I'm more scared of a needle than a drill in my mouth.
My brain and logic? NSM with the friendly.
David, I'm sorry for your loss. That's sad.
My one filling without a local was weirdly okay. Normally I need 2x the amount of novocaine to start numbing stuff up, but this filling I slept through.
The surgery under local--I had a chatty doctor and I kept asking him what was happening and he'd show me stuff, and it was reallyq quite gross. But cheap as all hell, and I had no insurance. Still, gross.
