The worst of it is over!!!
Yay!!! I feel better already! I was so worried about that root canal. Now that it’s over, I can tell already that it doesn’t HURT anymore! (Even though I took some advil). Maybe I should wait till tomorrow to see how it really feels. That’s the first dentist office I’ve ever been to with cable tv. I only got to watch about 10 minutes of the discovery channel while the novacaine kicked in. I gotta tell ya tho…it SURE WASN’T FUN sitting in that dentist chair for about 3 hours. Poor Bill…he had to sit in the car for that long…now his back and neck are hurting him. God, it’s just not fair what happens to us when we get older. Having my teeth hurt for almost 2 months has sure drained my energy.
Hi David and Jen! Sorry to hear about your tooth troubles Jen. How come you had to get all that work done? Did you bite down on something hard like me? Or are you just getting old too???????
Anyway, I still have another appointment at the regular dentist on the 27th to get the permanent crown for the top one, and to get a permanent filling for the one they did the root canal on today. I thought about getting a crown for that one, but can’t really afford it after today. Insurance doesn’t cover any of it. I figure I don’t really need a crown on that one anyway, the tooth is still in good shape, good enough to have just the filling. Later on if the tooth breaks apart or something…I can always get it later. It feels pretty good right now. But then again, I’ll wait until morning.
OK, now that I’ve written a nice long blog entry, somebody else better chime in with a comment…maybe your dental experiences…or whatever…bye.
