"I can't feel my lip"

Hi Parents -

Just got my lst shot in the mouth. Yowch! I told the punk he needed to get a wand.

I appreciate your office a lot more now. Scented candles, Steel drums, nice warm fuzzy posters, sunglasses, DisneyCartoons.

I was stressed out. I didn't realize a REAL shot has to stay in for 10 seconds. It felt like more. Anyway, I'll get over it. He was nice, but I'm not a fan. I study in the same Bio classrooms at BYU as the dental students. When I get home I'm telling them what for ... Greenies. No radio advertising during dental work. That should be a law.

Thanks for paying Dr. King. The work will go forward. I wonder if missionaries like Parley P. Pratt and Orson Hyde had to get dental work done. Sigh.

Love you both, Hermana Durazna
