Trip to the Dentist

Contuing from my previous post, I was up early. Got on the road early to beat the rush hour traffic. I ended up close to my dad's house. Pulled into the Burger King parking lot for some breakfast around 7am. Found the doors to the store locked. They were supposed to open at 7:00.

I decided to kill some type and fill up the gas tank. Then I returned to Burger King and got a croissant. Read the newspaper I brought along. Then I drove to my friend's house. I got the GPS out of the trunk and read the rest of the paper.

My friend and her mom came out. I tried to enter the dentist address in my GPS. It did not recognize the location. I ended up using my friend's GPS. We got to the dentist's office in time. Unfortunately we waited an extra hour and a half in the waiting room past the original appointment.

There were a lot of people in the waiting room, even early in the morning. The actual procedure took two hours. That included waking up from the anesthesia. Doc said the procedure went well. A technician escorted my friend down to my car. She was still a bit unsteady.

I had called my boss and said I was going to be to work later than I had thought. From the dentist I drove straight to CVS where they called in some prescriptions. The pain killer was wearing off and my friend needed some drugs. She was very anxious as her mom went into CVS.

My friend and mom wanted to buy me some lunch. I declined because I needed to get to work. So I dropped them off at their place and headed back home to do work. Good thing there was some leftover pizza at home for me to munch on.
