phantom skin

have you ever felt an itch on your chin when you chin's under local anesthesia?

had a toothache a couple days ago and had to go to the dentist. after the chap gave me a jab with a metal canistered thing in the mouth i couldn't feel my left chin and lip for about four hours after.

and it's weird, during that time, how i managed to get an itch and "feel" it, and scratched it and it "felt" good, relieved. don't ask me how, please. its' a certain contentment that my skin felt, like it's happy when i scratched on that spot. and funnily enough i seemed to be able to locate that spot and when i scratched it, all i consciously felt was pressure but there was this inkling of pleasure when i did.

weird, huh.

well, should you have the chance in the future to be under some numbing, you should try getting a serendipitous itch over there.

and then you may get what i mean. :P
