I Prefer Sparkly Crowns

After going to bed around 1am Thursday night, getting up at 5:30 the next morning was a real treat, topped off by an early morning dentist appointment. No fun! The only crown I want is a sparkly one on top of my head... not in my mouth!

Ian was so good to get up and go with me. 1. I was extremely nervous! 2. I didn't know what kind of condition I'd be in to drive home. He knows how I get when I'm super tired, have procedures done, and after sedation... Let's just say I'm glad he was there to drive me home.

I was super nervous to get a crown. I've never had one before and the thought of getting my tooth gound down did not help. I requested the nitrous when we got there. I normally don't like to get it because I feel like my arms are detached and on the floor... But I was too nervous, I'd live with that feeling. Funny story: I started to feel it's affect. Then my arms felt like they were on the floor, I was feeling good... They were about to begin and it hit me... I started freaking out. Apparently there's such thing as too much. I can't even describe what happened, but things were not right with me! They had to give me a couple minutes to "come back down".

It was all such a lovely experience! I can't handle being in a sleeping bag because I feel too confined... I especially loved my head being strapped to the chair with rubber tubing that was pulling my hair. Then, when they gave me the mask to use next time, all I could think of was I must have looked like a little pig laying there in the chair. Who's idea was it to make those things a pig pink color! Haha :)

 It's over now. I survived... I'll do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening again. Our dentist is awesome though! We've loved him from day one. I'm sure I was just particularly cranky and emotional from lack of sleep and nerves.
