I just spit Coke on the monitor laughing. OMG, Dexter! When I was the RN at the jail we had a weird little man that was the dentist. Alabama only pays for extractions--and back then (mid-1980's) I think the state was paying only $15 a tooth. Dentist came once a month, and the line formed down the hall. My office was a two-room jail cell that they painted Pepto-Bismol pink (because I was a girl). The entry room had this 1940's seafoam green dentist chair, really creepy looking. I'd let the guys in and go hide in the other room---even with both fingers in my ears I could hear when the extractor tool went off like a gun and the poor inmate would yell. The teeth went flying off into space, and the dentist had to crawl around and find them---sometimes the day afterward I'd find teeth in the corner that he missed. That was the successful ones. The ones that weren't were fractured into pieces, and the poor guys would be spitting pieces of tooth out for 2 weeks. I learned later that the dentist was a severe brain injury from a bad wreck years ago, but kept practicing anyway. I don't see how he made any money, because he was always getting sued by mad patients that he'd messed up--and he always lost! I was always talking the guys into getting their family to put up enough money to get them to a good dentist instead of Dr. Benny. Anyway, you brought back some funny memories. Dexter, indeed!

Anxiety? Yes, it's very normal. The first days I had this awful feeling, like I couldn't breath, specially at night. I haven't read your post, how many days clean?
