Slack-Jawed Yokel

OMG. I just went to the dentist and got a new filling. The entire side of my face is completely numb. My cheek up to my ear! I can't control my tongue and can barely drink water. I feel completely slack-jawed. Thank goodness I don't have any meetings until later in the day. Oh, and it was so painful. I was not happy seeing that gigantic needle coming my way. Uhhhhh! Sometimes I wonder if any of this is necessary!!! It's like going into the shop and the mechanic says you have a cavity...do you trust the fellow to be on the safe side or ignore him? Anyhoo, the worst part's over!
