6:11 P.M.
It remained very quiet around Southern California all day. I had a dental appointment where I had six cavities filled in and half of a deep cleaning. I'm scheduled to get the rest of my teeth cleaned next Monday. I had to have an extra amount of novocaine injected for I have been found to be extremely sensitive to pain. I cannot imagine how much it would hurt without novo. The injections smarted a little, causing me to emit a faint little squeak. The dentists were great, though. They babied me.
I did not realize how wary I am of medical facilities. The fear suddenly hit me the moment I set foot into that dentist office. Seeing the radiation symbol by the x-ray machine was chilling, even though I knew it was not enough to harm me. As I was in the chair being numbed, I noticed that I was shaking. I am aware that my pain threshold is a bit low. It seemed to especially be lower after moving to California. I have always been hypersensitive my whole life, but it feels like I have become even more sensitive moving out here after experiencing some earthquakes.
I must have become more acutely sensitive to pain and many other things after my first trip to California in 2009. After the anesthetic wore off, my mouth was hurting badly. It radiated into my left ear. I have been quite sore in my body over the past couple of days. I did an exercise involving my torso and now my side is very sore. It hurts as I poke or squeeze it. I was dizzy upon stepping out of the car and the bottom of my feet felt heavier than ever as I walked up the stairs. There may be hardly anything going on right now, but there may be much more activity following this. It could be tomorrow, later this week, or later tonight.
