Well, its actually called Lidocaine Hydrochloride Oral Topical Solution, but when the Dr. was giving me the prescription, he was calling it novicaine, since it numbs my throat.
The surgery actualy wasn't too bad. It doesn't really feel any different. The only problem with the surgery is that about all you can eat afterwards is Jello, and that gets old. I never thought I could get tired of Jello, but eating it three times a day gets old.
