He wanted to put me under, or even use laughing gas, but I didn't want to stay and wait for my fiancee to come and get me. They had to cut out a good portion of gums and drill into some bone. It was the first time my dentist had to do this kind of extensive work in his office. They treated me damn well, though.
I chuckle about your experience with the IV. My mom was a plebotomist in her early years and she specialized in taking draws from drug addicts and premature babies. She had zero tolerance for people that didn't know how to find a vein properly. Probably would have smacked that nurse
I'm about to see how well I take to pain meds. There was a screw up at the pharmacy, so I have to wait another 20 minutes. Sucks too, because this is really really starting to hurt. Biting down on gauze when it hurts to do so, is mega lame.
I hope better than I sir. I apparently turn into a drooling useless idiot on them. Nitrous Oxide doesn't effect me though for some reason. I had a dentist try it on me once and he kept asking how I felt and I kept saying "perfectly normal" until he finally gave up and did a local. Apparently some people are immune to it.
On the video game topic, I was really sick last week and took a day off work and I spent the majority of the day playing Mario Kart to unlock all the stuff for my kid haha. He's not good enough at it to win the races and my save games had gotten erased somehow so I unlocked all the tracks and most of the characters and stuff for him.
