It occurred to me only after I pulled out of the parking lot that driving while under the influence of anti-anxiety medication, anesthetic and nitrous was probably a bad idea. I made it home without anything weird happening. It took an hour to get the crown back on. There was the laser/water tool, and then they also wound a piece of wire around my tooth to pull the inflamed gum tissue back. From now on I'm supposed to walk around swilling saltwater or mouthwash at every opportunity. I need a flask.

Once I was stubborn enough to drive thirty miles on the highway in the blinding sunlight after having my eyes dialated for an examination and had a headache from unintentional caffiene withdrawl that I was treating with a 20 ounce coffee and then the cellphone starts to ring and its the U.S. Patent Office letting me know that the company I was working for had just been awarded like the five millionth patent or something and I finally had the good sense to pull off the highway when I understood I couldn't see, I had a cellphone in one hand and big cup of hot coffee in the other and was probably doing about 70 mph.
