Hello Spitfire, Good senryu, except that you are the one in all the pain. Ohhhh dear Spitfire, I think being stunned by a tas gun might have been easier--nasty, bad needles. Well rest up, and maybe help yourself to a strong drink ... if you meds ok it. Feel better. LateBloomer

I had it removed late afternoon. Went to bed early and slept the next day! Not much pain or swelling, but my body tensed up during the shots. So it needed the rest.

Hi Shari ...
I saw this one that I'd not read, so here I am. Lots of truth in this! I am headed for major dental work ... remaining biters out and falsies going in!
It's that shot in the middle of the roof of the mouth that lifts my cheeks right off the dental chair! Al least when I get my artificial choppers, won't after to worry about that any more!
Nicely done! best to you, my friend ...

That's the way I feel about dentures, but dentist insists on bridge work to keep what I have. When I think of the time spent flossing and brushing four times a time.... I'm with you on the artificial deal.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
nine needles needed ??? YIKES! That has to be a record! I usually don't get novocaine unless it's a huuuuge cavity or a root canal, because the shots hurt so much more than the drilling pain, which is bearable. Those shots in the back of the jaw are the worst! My dentist can't believe I refuse shots for most cavities. Seems I am his ONLY patient who does. But I go for the LESSER pain, and besides, I hate having a numb face for four hours... can't drink without dribbling... and forget eating... keep biting my cheek and don't know it. LOL

My dentist was shocked that I even said ouch. As a rule, she's pretty good with the needles. Surprisingly, I didn't have swelling and pain. Numbness of course. I kept biting the inside of my cheek too. Had soup for dinner. Glad to have it out though. Decay is not good.

Actually I think it would be less painful to be tasored. Good poem, it is very hummorous on such a delicate subject, which I have to look forward to this month. Good stuff, Spitfire.

I love to share my misery. LOL. Often, a dentist will test your tolerance to see if he needs to use a needle.
Comment from Louise Michelle
Oh, Shari, I forgot about your tooth problem. Well, at least you keep us informed through your writings. Perhaps I should share more of myself here. What rhymes with constipation, hee hee. Hugs, Lou

LOL My hubby has big problems with that. No pun intended. Doctor says it comes with age. The standard answer to all senior problems. :-)
Comment from tfawcus
Ouch! I can feel this one. I'm never quite sure if I fear the needles more or the pain of the extraction. All I know is that when the dentist says that this isn't going to hurt, he is lying - through his teeth!

LOL. I never felt her pull on the tooth. Twenty minutes to numb me and five seconds to yank it free.
Comment from judiverse
That numbness seems to last forever, doesn't it? Quells the urge to snack for a while. Great alliteration here with nine needles needed, and love the rhyming sound in numb tongue. I read about the Amish recently, and it seems their common practice is to get false teeth, thereby saving the expense of future dentist's visits. Breaking out in hives must have been worse than the trip to the dentist. Sorry for your painful experience. judi

Yea, the hives have gone underground again. I didn't know that about the Amish. I bet I've invested at least fifteen thousand in my mouth over the years.

My husband and I have dental insurance, so that really helps us. Hope the hives have all gone by now. judi

How did you find the perfect artwork? i wish the poem was just that--a poem and not biographical information. Glad you felt up to writing after that. Poem is great. Hope you feel better.

It took a day of sleep for my body to get over the shock. Google images is my source for pictures. I'm feeling great right now.

Not enough 'n' alliteration here, Shari - just joking as it's fun and effective.
It would take MORE than 'nine' needles to still...I mean 'numb' some female tongues I've encountered. ;-)
Excellent!
Best wishes, Ray xx

Comment from Dean Kuch
Just nine? You're very lucky, Spit! Last time I went, they stuck me twelve -- count 'em -- twelve times before my affected area would get numb. I was not a happy camper! Of course, who is, really, when faced with having to go to the dentist?
Nice senryu, and great picture to, uh...get the point across, heh-heh...
