New invention at Fredy Lepe's
bugaloo,
just thought I'd give you advance warning of a new invention at Fredy Lepe's. I was there this afternoon for part 2 of my root canal by Joaquin Lopez & as Fredy wasn't there they were using both surgeries for Joaquin's patients. His male nurse settled me in the chair & left me whilst it descended to horizontal. Having arrived at the horizontal position, the chair then made a cranking noise & proceeded to shake. Of course, given where we live, I immediately thought it had developed a fault & was about to take off. I had visions of myself through the wall out into Duarte & round the corner to the Amber Museum on a runaway dentist chair for which I was unlicensed straight into the arms of Amet who would doubtless have questions............
So I called out (because no-one was in my surgery) 'Is this vibration normal?'
Well.............turns out it is very normal, it is a massage chair, designed to relax the patient before surgery. Didn't quite work in my case for reasons outlined above! The 'off' switch is like a remote in a plastic pocket to your right, bugaloo, should you need it.
Part 2 of the root canal went just fine. Joaquin agreed to my request for no anaesthetic (he took the nerve out last time, so real pain should not occur). I have 1 or 2 more appointments to go.....I think only 1 will be necessary, so 1 it'll probably be
And on the time keeping........you'll recall from an above post the appointment was for 3 pm. Well, just as I was about to leave home, the receptionist phoned & changed it to 3.15. Can't complain at that, the message has got through that the English woman doesn't like sitting around twiddling her thumbs waiting. I was called in at about 3.30 & then subjected to the runaway chair treatment, presumably as a diversionary tactic so that I could not read my vibrating watch!! I am all agog as to what the diversionary tactic will be next time..........
I have no complaints as to the dental work.......the fact that I can crack a joke about all of this, on the same day as treatment without anaesthetic, proves to me, at least, that Joaquin Lopez knows what he is about.
