I lived!

It was three hours. I, uh, wasn't expecting three hours. So that was rough.

Also, the fact that my body's default reaction to stress is tears - not crying exactly, but just leaking water from the eyes - did not really help. Sympathy turns it into real crying, which is just ugh.

But! I'm ok. I have two fillings, half a numb mouth, and some very beat up gums. I do it again next week, but over two days instead of one. I'm tired just thinking about it.
