post-dentist phone message
Corinne gave me permission to post a video of the message she left on my phone around 10:30 p.m. recently after a long, involved dentist visit, a shitload of drugs (given to her by the dentist!) and some wild shenanigans involving driving a cart around a grocery store, crashing into people/displays. Classic.
Corinne (as best as I can decipher): (voice is slow and hoarse) Heeeey, it’s me. I’m just becoming coherent enough to have a conversation…tell you how my dentist visit went. My God. I don’t know what drugs they give you but I would hhhighly recommend it to anyone who has a bunch to do and doesn’t..want..to remember it. I’ll talk to you later. Bye.
um..awesome.
i need to know STAT what the drugs are ’cause um.. mama needs to go to the dentist. *TERRIFIED SOBBING* heh.
I got a valium the night before and took halcion the day of. I went in at like ten in the morning and don’t remember anything til about ten at night. Worked great, I am definitely not nervous about going to the dentist again. I hadn’t been in awhile cause my last dentist was ass. I was getting a root canal and could feel it and he didn’t care. So when I went this time I found someone who would be gentle and cared about my comfort. Will not take as much next time I go now that I know how well it works!!
or at least don’t go out in public afterwards, eh?
Her dentist is way more pro-giving-drugs than any one I ever had, that’s for sure. He gave her Valium for the night before!!! THE NIGHT BEFORE! Who does that?
As for me, if I’m feeling anxious at the dentist I take a sliver of Xanax. Or a whole one, if I want to sleep. I tried the nitrous once and hated it–felt completely claustrophobic with the mask. They only offer it once, it’s a special “treat”. Uh huh. Afterwards I’ve always been prescribed Vicodin–a small amount.
Which reminds me…I need to go to the dentist. But when? Is there ever a good time? (answer: no)
Haha she sounds like me after I got out of surgery and was all hopped-up on fentanyl and morphine. Thank goodness nobody thought to record the weird shit I was saying.
I’ve had so many good phone messages lost forever because my phone deletes them after 30 days so…I thought I had better preserve this one!
And the award for best Anna Nicole impersonation goes to..
Poor thing! Glad she’s feeling better. Halcion? Thats one helluva benzo…is she having anxiety?
well shee-yit, who isn’t anxious before going to the dentist? besides Bill Murray in “Little Shop of Horrors”, that is.

never gets old!
so yeah, not to sound like a weirdo but I was curious abt clarifying where the drugs came from. I need a dentist that will pre-drug me. It’d benefit the dentist as well. My last experience was seriously like a horror movie to me. It was a place called “gentle dental” which actually seems like a chain sort of dental places?? anyway..one of their benefits is the drugs so I’m like yeah, I’m ready for my xanax now but they refused to give it to me!!! I got the gas which was so weird and awful really. I kept inhaling like as deeply and quickly as possible. I’m sure I was doing this weird mix of gassing/hyperventilating and just weeping the entire time. OH MY GOD! I’m so scared!! I even thought about asking my family doc to prescribe me like 3 pills to use for dental appts. PLEASE. heh.
