I'm Such a Wimp!!!

Tweet

I spent 8 years as a US Paratrooper and I retired from the Wisconsin Army National Guard. I have run ambulance in two major cities. I've done Search and Rescue training in the dead of winter in the Grand Teton Mountains. I've Fought Forest Fires in Utah. I've been to war and back. But I'm here to tell you folks... I'm a wimp! Stick needles in my hands, arms and even my feet. Stick tubes down my throat. Keep me awake for 70 hours straight... fine, I'll do it. Sit me in a dentist's chair and I will quiver like office supplies stuck in Jell-O. I just got back from the dentist. No major work this time, just follow up on the major work I had done last week. A couple of temporary crowns had to be redone because they prevented my mouth from closing properly. 6 shots of novacaine! It didn't matter that the drill never touched live teeth, it only mattered that I was in that chair while the dentist had drill in hand. When I'm in that chair only 1 thing matters and that is this fairly new concept called "Sedation Dentistry". I love whoever came up with that idea. After all, the dentist is there, his assistant is there, my teeth are there, why in the world do they need me there? Bring on the pill!!!
