Things I learned Today

[varjohaltia]

1. I needed a root canal.
   
2. My insurance covers $57 of said root canal.
   
3. The root canal doctor is pretty and has good chair-side manners.
   
4. I'm for all intents and purposes immune to dentist's anesthetics.
   
5. Drilling a nerve open so anesthetic can be directly injected into it hurts.

Some alcohol to kill your pain?

You know, I kinda wish I could booze up. Alas. I appreciate the sentiment, though! How's stuff with the house?

As the victim er, survivor, er, recipient of a root canal a few years ago, my best wishes for a speedy recovery. ^.^

Thank you! Barring any complications, I think it's going remarkably well. I haven't actually needed anything since what anesthetic there was wore off. My jaw's sore, but that's about it.

AHHHHH!

Not for me! I still can't open my mouth particularly wide. I share the sentiment, though ;-)
