Not Your Average Butcher

Fast Fact: The average butcher has 7.3 fingers. Actually, I made that up, but I have all 10 of my fingers, so that's saying something... or is it?

Four Times Stronger than Morphine!

I don't know what it is, but it seems that lately, everyone's been going to the dentist to get cavities filled. I just had a couple filled and I have no idea why all of a sudden, I seem to be getting cavities when I never got them as a kid. Anyway, it was a bit of an adventure when I went for my fillings on Friday.

My dentist tells me that perhaps the nerve structure in my chin is different than most people's. And that's why he had to freeze me four times before my mouth actually froze! I had one tooth filled on the top right and that went well. Then he went to do a tooth on the bottom right and it hurt! So he froze me again. But then it still hurt. So he froze me again. And then it STILL hurt and the dentist could not believe it so he decided to give me something different that he only uses for extreme cases. This stuff was supposed to take effect right away and only lasts for 15 minutes. Right after he froze my mouth for the fifth time with this special stuff, he asked me; "Do you feel your heart racing?" And all of a sudden my heart DID start racing! I'd never felt it go that fast! And I couldn't breathe properly and I got really, really hot. The dentist said, "Don't worry, it's normal." I have no idea what he gave me, but it was kinda scary! Anyway, it took my mouth about 4 1/2 hours to unfreeze, rather than the usual hour. It made that wine and cheese I went to after my appointment a little awkward!

On a completely different note, we went to the Habs game on Saturday night. Although the Canadiens had a terrible game, it was still a lot of fun! Hockey is so much more exciting in person than it is on TV. Actually, I think that's true of most things. Anyway, the game was awesome and we ate so much food! But that was only because Mike sprong for tickets in the Club Desjardins section, where all of the food id included. Between the two of us we had 4 hotdogs, 2 smoked meat sandwiches, 2 fries, 2 pieces of pizza, 2 ice cream cones and 5 drinks. So we made those tickets worth our while! And then I went home and brushed my teeth, ha ha!

As for Hallowe'en, well, I didn't really do anything. I was supposed to go to a party on Friday night, but I decided to stay home. That was the day I had my dentist appointment, and somehow it really tired my out. We did watch the movie "13 Ghosts"last night, though. What a terrible movie. Everyone said it was so scary, but really, it wasn't.
