the sound of the drill filled the background and a bright light beamed down as the man in blue hovered over me. i closed my eyes and breathed in and out. in and out. rhythmically, and the gas filled me. i had begged for my pandora and had finally received the buds into my ears. little did I know that my very favorite station, Foster the People, would take me right there. right to Grey's Anatomy. i laid there and floated above it all and knew that this was exactly what it was like to be on Grey's. it had to be just like it. minus the part where the drilling was happening to my skull. the drilling was going on inside my mouth. and minus the part where Doctor McDreamy was above me, it was just your average of the mill looking doc. but still. i was there, on Grey's. if you don't believe me, click on the link and listen, close your eyes, take some deep breathes, pretend you are breathing in laughing gas, beam the flashlight on your phone onto your closed eyeballs, and cue a drill in the background. see? told you. if you're still not convinced, just schedule yourself a root canal. don't forget the Foster the People station...
immediately after my root canal experience, i called 3 people and told them i had been on Grey's. for reals. i thought i had. or thought the moment was just like it, and it was. poor me. i was traumatized. i cried silent tears through half of the procedure, the assistant held my hand and told me i reminded her of her daughter, and the doc told me "you can trust me! you can trust me. do you trust me?". *sigh* i'm suuuuch a baby. but i survived. survived the procedure on friday, survived puking from the pain meds on saturday, and am living through the sporadic waves of tooth pain tonight, sunday. and hell. i got to feel like what it must be like to be on Grey's. worth it? ;)

So jealous of your awesome root canal.
No place I'd rather be than on Grey's!

When I had my gallbladder out a year and a half ago, as I was being wheeled into the operating room, I thought, "Oh my god. This is just like Grey's Anatomy!" The bright, sterile room was exactly as it's pictured on the show. What they DON'T show, is as a patient they make you get up every two hours and walk during the middle of the night. Annoying.
I hate the dentist with a passion, so even the thought of a root canal sends shivers down my spine. I hope you are feeling better and I'm so happy you were able to be on grey's, haha! :)

ugh...that sounds horrible...i pray i never have to go through this.
Even with the hellish root canal, you came out the other side looking beautiful.
I would seriously KILL to have your hair. KILL.
I've been on Grey's too!!! ;) And I didn't cry silent tears....mine were loud and full. This is why I avoid the dentist at all costs....I probably will be toothless one day, but I seriously get SICK every time I go. Hate it! Hope you are feeling better and that you have some good meds. xoxo
Ugh. A root canal? Glad you survived (and with a weird story to boot!)

Although it sounds like the best dream ever it sure sucked to be back in reality. I want you to feel better. If not I will just pull your tooth and be done. I mean he'll what's one less tooth?
