indeed. I wonder what kind of drug he got.

I remember when I had my wisdom teeth out they gave me something in an IV, and it left me really high once I had woken up. Probably something similar...some kind of pain killer.

Hehhe, I had some teeth removed for my braces and whatnot when I was in my early teens.

Being my first experience under anesthesia, and being 'knocked out' for the procedure, it was an interesting if not wierd experience.

When I woke up in recovery, my mom came and had to basically carry me to the car. One of the apparent side-effects was tearing/crying, and, being so darn groggy and disorientated, I sort of freaked out a little...

Apparently I exclaimed to my mom as we walked out of the office: "Mom, I'm NEVER going to do drugs if this is what it's like!"

needless to say I've had to have a few operations (including wisdom teeth out) since then but the experience was not as 'traumatic', just the typically grogginess

And...I never did, and never will, do drugs 8)

When I was 18 I was told by my parents that if I went ahead and bought a motorbike I would have to find my own place to live. Around this time I also had my wisdom teeth removed and my mom escorted me from the dentists. Whilst coming round I 'dreamt' that I told my mom about my new bike which was hidden in my friend's garage and told her 'SSHH! Don't say anything or I'll be kicked out!'. :oops:
Guess who had to find somewhere else to live shortly afterwards :lol:

Truth has a way of leaking out around the edges of our defenses, doesn't it? Hope you've made up the rift. :|

Nitrous Oxide, baby!! If they offer it, TAKE IT. I had a gum graft a couple years ago, and it was WONderful! I think they used some kind of nerve blocker as well, because my whole mouth was basically not there any more. Couldn't even hear the instruments through my bones like I usually do with dental work. Wild. Felt lucid the whole time, but my limbs felt as if they were weighted down by heavy warm blankets. Afterwards, while I was paying at the front counter, I kept starting to dance to the background music! At that point I realized I was way too high to try driving home (though it's generally a good idea to be sedated while driving I-95 in rush hour), so I just sat in the waiting room for another half hour until I wasn't quite so happy.

I've never done drugs, either, I don't even drink, but if I ever start, it'll be nitrous for me. Great stuff.

PS: If anyone wants any advice about gum grafts, just let me know!

In 10 years or so, the kids will probably come home from a party talking just like that..... :evil:
