Sorry to hear of your dental woes, Mike. Mine turned out better than I'd expected. I needed one of those "deep cleanings," the kind they give when you are starting to have gum disease, and I'd been told I'd have to have my whole mouth numb for it. However, the hygienist decided that I didn't need to be numb, as my problems weren't that far along. So really, although it was longer than a regular cleaning, it turned out to be no worse than that. I had dreaded all those shots more than anything.
Once I thought I had dental problems and it turned out to be a sinus infection. I understand how swollen sinuses can press on the nerves to your teeth, making you think the problem is where it isn't.
Anyway, I hope you are healing up well and don't have anything remotely like that to deal with anytime soon again!
Last Friday I watched the movie Hitchcock, with Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren. It is about the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife during the filming of Psycho. Watching that movie made me want to see Psycho again, so I got it on DVD and watched it a couple of days ago. Even after all these years, and knowing the "trick" of it, I found it still a very effective movie. Anthony Perkins was really terrific in it. I know he later felt he had been typecast after that movie and had mixed feelings about having done it, but he should have been very proud of his work, I think. And you know, since it is Hitchcock, it really isn't a gross-out fest. There are a couple or three shocking moments, but most of it is suspense. That's my kind of horror film.
