the good news is that this time i didn't get a filling which affected my bite. the bad news is that the whole left side of my mouth is still so numb that i can't actually speak in coherent sentences. i bought a pint of cinnamon ice cream to look forward to when it wears off. ;)
i couldn't help but break the media deprivation because the dentist's office was playing the radio. ahhh..! i thought. music! that's the way life should be. having said that, and though i'm only a little more than a day into it, it's really sort of interesting to break the habits i've accumulated and will myself into silence and activity. it's almost a monastic action. if i think of it as "media fasting" instead of deprivation, will that shift my perception?
