Dental visit---NOT!

Marcia asked: How was your dental appointment?

When I arrived at the dentist, I asked how long the visit would take.  When she said upwards of 45 minutes.  I asked if I could reschedule, as I was having chest pains....not the heart, but immediately below the pacemaker.  I normally get short, soft electrical spurts, but those are signals of adjustments.  Whooosh...off to the E.R.  They take vitals upon entry and those were damn near better than perfect!  In the exam room, I was forced to remove my shirt so they could swoon.  Having recovered their composure, they inserted the needle for Dracula snacks, then hooked up the pacemaker cables along with EKG markers...you know...the kind with adhesive that comes off only when you ignite the napalm!

Nurses, doctors and Indian chiefs came in, asked questions, grunted and left.
Equipment made their intended beeps, toots and the occasional WTFs...merely to see if the techies are paying attention.  All checked sooopah!  Discharge papers were printed, verbal "Good on ya mates" were uttered and off I went...after ONLY 4 hours!  Yes, the pain went bye-bye and I rescheduled the dentist for a visit at month's end.

Didn't expect THAT, didja?
