More dental fun

It wasn't that long ago (Nov 1) that I had the distinct  experience of having a wisdom tooth extracted.  Oh, the fun and joy it was in the preceding days with a dry socket and having the socket packed with a very strong clove tasting substance.  Well, now I get ANOTHER distinct dental experience, next week.

ROOT CANAL.  Yes, One of the teeth I had a cavity filled last year has decided to never heal and the root has decided to DIE.  So.  I am scheduled for a root canal next Friday.  Woo.  Hoo.  I can hardly contain my excitement.  It wouldn't be so bad if this particular facility could knock me out for the procedure but nitrous oxide is the best they can do with a shot of Valium and an ipod.  Of course, they would like me to take the other wisdom tooth out also, but I said no.  The oral surgeon is getting that pleasure later this year.  Once again I will subject myself to the "fun."

You know, this would never have happened if I hadn't gone to the dentist.  Ack.  Well, I suppose I need to make the best of it so I will take my Valium the night before, play some COD4 with the clan, get the root canal in the morning, sleep that afternoon and see what happens next. 

Oh, well...

Keep on Go!
