I remember the fun of getting my mouth numbed a couple times at the dentist. Worst idea I had right afterwards was thinking that trying to drink out of a straw would work while not being able to move my lower lip to form suction. Talk about some efforts in futility!
I also had my lower wisdom teeth cut out of my gums before they came in (xrays showed massive issues if we left them in) and got completely knocked out for that dental surgery. Of course they gave me some pain meds to deal with the after-surgery pain in my mouth, however in their brilliance they gave me "take only with food" pills. Therein lies the problem, my mouth was in no shape to even try food until I was already drugged up, and I couldn't get drugged up without eating food. Eventually after managing a little bit of jello my parents and I decided screw it, i needed the pain killer more than the risk of it upsetting my food-less stomach.
To this day I still don't know why you give someone something they have to take with food when they can't use their mouth.
