Missing Time? Now THAT's Dentistry!

I have no idea what happened yesterday. Triazelam is a wonder drug. It really messes with your memory. See, I have this anxiety about going to the dentist - various reasons, all well founded, but I HAVE to get my teeth fixed. So, my current dentist knocks me out, does his work and I wake up at home. It's awesome.

 

But seriously, I have two types of memory after being on this drug. My normal memory which is apparently all time-coded. I'm aware of where each memory should be chronologically, this before that, that was morning, this was evening, that sort of thing. That's how my brain works normally. Now add Triazelam into the picture and I lose ten hours of my life. Completely gone. Fine, its an amnesiac drug, I expect that. Pretty sure the doc didn't take sexual advantage of me. That costs extra. And its his assistant's job, anyway.<grin>

 

But what's weird is I remember waking up yesterday morning, running late, shaving, brushing my teeth, all that. I remember the drive to the dentist, chatting with my dad. Drinking the blue liquid, reading an article about Keira Knightly, vaguely remember getting in the chair, I  think I remember the blanket being put on me. Then? See, I KNOW that stuff happened, but its totally out of context. I've had to since force it into the timeline of my day. Really weird to have memories that don't have that extra dimension to them. They just sort of happened but without the timecoding, they lack reality.

 

Ah well. Good drug. Better than the alternative.
