    fell asleep during a root canal

    Fell asleep? Or passed out?

    Ever seen 127 Hours? When he cuts through the nerves? That’s what it felt like for me 1 out of 4 times. I don’t think it’s a pain response tbh. More like a similar effect to cutting on a video cord slowly and the signal getting distorted.

      nope. I was awake. listening to the music they were playing and eventually just went to sleep. my eyes were already closed since the lights were so bright.

      dentist actually woke me up and thought I passed out. said it was the first time he’s ever seen that happen.

      had a good chuckle out of it and finished up.

      in my mind I was on a beach with the radio playing at the bar/cabana. sun in my face, etc. it’s amazing how easily you can trick your mind into believing you’re somewhere else.
