Thanks to everyone who answered my post; I was just being a silly meowmie as
it was just the penicillin shot giving her an achey leg. Oh, and my thieving
little siamese Mango just tried to nick my diamond eternity ring!! And
nearly got away with it!!! they're very dexterous with paws and jaws i've
noticed....
Sandy - 03 Mar 2006 04:30 GMT
I can relate.  At the dentist yesterday the anaesthetic just wasn't working
well for me and they ended up giving me about 10 shots before I was numb
enough.  They warned me that the actual work they were doing wouldn't leave
me sore, but that the shots would.  Boy, were they right!  Fortunately,
ibuprofen helps a lot and it's not as bad as it was yesterday.

Thanks, it's getting better.  If you can believe it, this dentist gives
their patients freshly-baked cookies when they visit!  Of course, this time
I had to wait a few hours until my mouth had enough feeling to eat them!

I wish I could remember this dentists name... he gave painless shots.  I've
always been terrified of shots in my gums; they HURT!  But then again I had
teeth pulled to prepare me for braces and they let the anesthetic wear off
before they yanked my teeth, so OUCH.

Anyway, this dentist knew how to give shots so you didn't feel it and he
actually took me into another patients exam room and had me explain to him
it didn't hurt!  How weird is that?  But the guy agreed to have a shot after
I talked to him.  Odd.

What *really* hurt was having all those shots to go overseas.  Particularly
the cholera shot (required every six months while in Thailand).  My arm
ached for 3 days afterwards!

Good luck, Adrian. I had to go Wednesday and the main thing she hurt
was my wallet (3 crowns! I need a payrise!)

<scratching head>  I can never really figure out British
monetary denominations, but isn't three crowns a fairly *small*
amount to pay for a dentist visit?  <JK>

LOL!!!! At least I hope you're being funny! The crowns are for my
teeth, the damage is for my wallet to the tune of about £80 per tooth
and several people are surprised it's that cheap!

For Wayne's benefit, that's just over $140 per tooth.

So much less than my one tooth implant. :oP Which won't be put in place
until August.

My brother Scott, bless him, paid $33,000 USD (that's close to 19,000 GBP)
to have all of his teeth pulled and replaced with implants.  The entire
process took about a year and I shuttled him back and forth and also cooked
"soft" foods for him and collected "soft" recipes throughout the process.
All I can say is OUCH and I'd have been really sick of dishes prepared using
mashed potatoes.  LOL

WOW!  That is an insane amount of money to spend on your teeth!  Did he
have insurance pay for any of that?  Did he do it because all his teeth
were really bad?

Unfortunately he took after my mom's side of the family for bad teeth.  He
was paying out of pocket at least $1000 a year *with* dental insurance on
fillings, crowns, etc.  He was about 42 at the time he had this done; he
said he was entirely too young for dentures.  He took out a bank loan,
borrowed against his 401(k) and my parents gave him $5000 towards the cost.
I still think it was a rather drastic measure.  And he bit down on something
hard last month and one of them broke.

Argh! I hope the implant I'll get doesn't break! It has a life-long
guarantee, but I don't want to go through this procedure all over again.
Though maybe they wouldn't have to put in new screws if the implant
broke, maybe they could just fasten a new implant to the old screws.
Unless the screws break.

Yeah, getting to know all about soft foods. And this goes on until
August. Grrr.

That's *VERY* cheap.  I haven't gotten crowns on three teeth that need them
because they told me they would be $600+ *each*!

I had to have a tooth pulled about 2 years ago. The dentist gave me
local anesthetic and it did not hurt a bit.
Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for everything to go really well
on Tuesday,

UUURRGH!! Yup, lucky escape there!! Fortunately he usually spews up stupid
stuff he swallows (I do my best, but the little bugger has weird tastes) so
I just feed him furball food, make sure he has an oily diet (bit of
olive/sesame oil every so often) and hope for the best. He might grow out of
it...I hope...

Yeah - my new little cat, Cendrillon, manages to open the
sliding wardrobe door that has always defeated Melisande!

LOL!! Yup, Garfield and Moe take turns every morning, jumping up and
swinging from the door handle to try and open the door of their room. Lucky
it's round....they just slide right off!!

My former voice-teacher had a Great Dane who could open
those, too!  (She'd just clamp her jaws on the knob and
turn.)  If they wanted to keep the dog out of anyplace, they
had to be sure there was a latch on the door, and it was
fastened!

You weren't silly, you are a caring meowmie. I would have worried just
like you did if it happened to Soncek and I was worried about Jasmine
also. I'm so glad she's ok.

:) thankyou !! She is now making a big fuss over how sore she is, and
stealing the best seats in the house!! She does seem less grumpy though, so
hopefully she'll go back to being 'sweet Jasmine' instead of 'Evil
Jasmine'....
