Dental work or maybe a stroke??

This morning I had crown work done. I say it that way because they send you home with a temp crown for 2 weeks then you go back for the porcelain/permanent one. Anyhow, they give you a multitude of deadening shots for the area that they are working on. After I left the dentist office I was in the drive-up lanes at the bank and I took a sip of a drink I had and OF COURSE with my dead half lip, half tongue I drooled. As I was wiping my drool off and soooo hoping nobody had noticed I looked to my right and a woman in the next lane was staring at me!!! It's one of those moments where you want to roll down the window and yell "Dental work, I just had dental work, not a stroke!!!". But I just wiped off the drool and swallowed my pride.

not that it would be very nice of her to glare at you if you had had a stroke either...

MS: I never thought of that! Perhaps she was only struck blind and dumb by my beauty and couldn't look away........
