Morning all.

Dentist kicked my arse. My teeth hurt.

I have the worlds most sensitive teeth and 10mg of Xanax—I mean Valium—did not relax me enough for them to get it done easily.

I think the max recommended dose of xanax is 4mg a day (24hrs)

You took 10mg before the dentist? Did you wake up from a coma 12 hrs later?

At least I'm not alone. So far this year I've had 5 extraction. 3 crowns, and 6 fillings. Still have 2 crowns, 2 fillings and top and bottom partial to go.

Good morning OT. Slept in until 445 this morning

Morning all
