Lin, I have no choice as lidocaine or novacaine has never numbed my mouth even to have my teeth cleaned. When I had a colonoscopy, I told my son in law (who is a gastrointerologist) that I would tell the dr. doing it the colonoscopy that I didn't think the numbing IV would work. My daughter was in the room and the doctor was horrified that I was wide awake and felt everything he did. He even told my daughter, "I am so sorry for your mother. I can't give her anything else or I am going to kill her".

When that was over the doctor told me to never have another one without a general anesthetic. So , everyone's body is so different. I would never ever have cosmestic surgery done for any reason. I am just considering botox as normally they give you a frontal block like a dentist does to administer botox . Since that doesn't work for me, I will never have but one or two excuses in my life to have an IV drip again, I may get the botox.

This is Bonnie's seed of a cross she made between Mark Twain and Ozark Fireworks. Who is creative with a name for it? We have to grow it four times to be sure it comes true each time. But she is a beauty of a sinningia and deserves to have a name.

And no, I have never had dental insurance. I wish I did!
