A 5 feet.7 inches tall, confident girl with a pleasant deposition who always smiled at everyone she came across, was sitting outside the dentist’s clinic today. Unlike other days, today she was all teary eyed shaking n shivering. It was difficult to see, that a person who always looked so confident and positive was crying like a small child, wiping tears on the back of her hands, trying to calm herself down and somehow escape the curious eyes of all the other patients in the waiting room. The treatment she was undergoing was not much, compared to the previous treatments she had undergone (2 failed implants, a root canal gone so bad that the tooth was extracted, another root canal which still pains once in a while, and a bridge treatment ongoing on the right side of her face).
But it seemed that all her agonies came flooding back today and her tears continued to flow. After a while her worried dentist (a student himself) more than half a decade younger than her, pacified her,gave a promise of a strong local anesthesia and completed her treatment successfully till the next session (yeah its not yet over)
This shivering, scared girl... all alone was finally feeling a little better, primarily as she could not feel anything on the left side of her face. She really wished her husband was with her today, but he was off on a trek. With no family around it was a real lonely, tough and painful day.
And if you haven’t guessed by now, that almost howling, nose leaking girl was ME
I HA...
