Driving in Circles - 7/18/2001

Okay, I know I'm not the only one that doesn't necessarily...... agree..... with the dentist. I know there are necessities in life, and I understand that for health, one should go, but that doesn't mean I will like it.

Being prone in a position of submission with someone invading your mouth with foreign objects..... and most of those pointy.....

Blech.

NOT to mention everything just -tastes- terrible...... I mean, gah, I jsut want to go..... scrape my throat or something, much less my tongue. A filling was deteriorating, plus there was some decay around it, and this puppy was OLD, no one particularly remembers even having a filling in this tooth it's so old *chuckle* And the numbing thing, I'm sure I'd prefer being numb to not being numb but do they HAVE to numb practically my entire face?! This was #30, which is lower right side, uhm, I do not see why my right EYE has to be numb in order to enjoy this experience *mutter* of the drilling and stretching and scraping and gooing and whatever it is they do with that little raygun to set the whathaveyou in the filling and the more drilling.....

Bill Cosby said it best....... "Theh is SMOOO..... commi ow..... a ma MOU!"

*just..... mutters*

*snarls even*

I can't even swallow correctly to get that taste out of the back of my throat!

Heh, not to mention I ended up having us run some errands whilst the face was numb *chuckles* The Big Guy was not happy. Especially because of the arguments that ensued which had us driving in circles and looping back and looking for offices that seemingly do not exist (other end of W______ drive my ASS) heh..... went to the County Mental Health office today. It just so happens to be on the way home from the dentist, convenient, eh? Asked them (ok, sort've, basically I sounded like someone with Down Syndrome which I'm sure helped with the validity of the questions I was asking) about dissociative disorders and help for them. They told me to go to the fucking LIBRARY to look for help sources. Sure, I'll just have a seat and start talking to the books.

And people WONDER why I have this general distrust and distaste for the mental health system? ESPECIALLY county. Private practices are only marginally better.

Oh, yes, ye of the behavioral psych degree

Call it self-help.

Heh..... so anyway, this is what astounds me. The CMH office is just across the street from, duh duh duuuuuh, the office we had to go to as a young teen. Needless to say, the experience did not go well, and we (or just he, back then) ended up infuriating and running circles around the guy after he made a BIG mistake about 20 minutes into the first session, and a certain somebody *smirk* decides it's time to go back, since we're in the neighborhood, and see if he's still around. He's not, but we do get a little help from the receptionist, a few names, maybe we'll check 'em out in the new few days, plus we might actually FIND the lady that's on the other end of W_____ drive.

Now...... to attempt making a smoothie so I can drink like a bird and actually get some damned food into me *mutters....... thickly* not to mention there are no damned bananas because somebody ate them while we were out! *just....... laughs*
