First. Let me Thank you. Its always nice to hear from fans that I've been able to help. Its YOU, the fan that is the real star. Without such sophisticated questions, I'd have nothing to add.
Its funny you should mention that Bwana. Just yesterday I was thinking of your plight. I went to the dentist to get "2 small spots touched up" and it turned into 3 1/2hours of unpleasantness. Apparently, the Geologic department of dentistry determined a high probability of hitting oil if they were to dig long enough and deep enough into my skull. During this experience, apparently there was a nerve that wouldn't deaden....and every time the drill, auger, or spade type digging utensil scraped it, I had a feeling similar to how it might feel to crush ones own nuticles.
Every time the horrid look of displeasure crossed my face, the dentist asked if I was "feeling that"....It was my determination, that since its difficult to communicate orally when someone has 2 hands, a mirror and a black-n-decker sawszall in ones mouth, that the proper way to effectively communicate with said dentist was to grab his pill bag with a pair of fencing pliers.....relaxing the grip when things are fine, and squeezing as the pain level would dictate.
Altough, I'd never claim to be able to fully understand your pain, I do have empathy and feel that this is the best sollution for all of us.
