somedaybitchso mom went to the dentist. she needed to have a cavity filled apparently. dentist shoots her up with novocaine and accidentally tags a blood vessel. oops. novocaine, being a numbing agent, then travelled through her blood stream and did its numbing job, only on her heart instead of her tooth. oops.
good thing the dentist, other than hitting a blood vessel, was really paying attention because he noticed her reactions getting slower and slower and put her on oxygen and called 911. by the time the medics got there her heart had stopped. good times.

thevaliumsofa for calling the novocaine in the blood stream scenario last night after i gave donna a run down and her latest vitals. he rocks the house.
i'll spare you the draHma of my family apparently being unable to think to call me at work, that place i was trapped for 15 hours, and me only finding out yesterday when this actually happened on monday, and just get to the mom's gonna be fine part of the story. they took her off the respirator around 6ish last night - they had to wait for the paralytic agent to wear off - and i talked to her today and she sounded great. last night she was worried she'd had another stroke because she couldn't talk clearly and i smiled and said, no mom, your tongue is still kinda paralyzed, along with the rest of your body.
did i mention good times? oh yeah. good times.
