I wonder how long it will be impossible to communicate verbally. XD The very back tooth on each side of the bottom of my jaw has a silver filling now. And they did so well numbing me that my fear that the drill would find a wide awake nerve turned out to be irrational. It was still unnerving to feel the drill going at it through my jaw @~@ Oh well; it's over now at least. Yay for the weekend! Hopefully I'll be normal by lunch time, but so far that seems unlikely.
