Through the pale door
Root canal is tomorrow. Endodontist does not provide nitrous, so I'll be on triazolam again. I'm a lot more nervous going into this than the last time. The last time I didn't know what it was. I've always considered purging memories to be somewhat analogous to suicide - absolutely unthinkable. So I find the thought of willingly taking a medicine that causes amnesia a bit scary and quite a lot distasteful.
On the other hand, I also find a bit distasteful and quite a lot scary the thought of being very lucid and aware while someone rips to shreds a bundle of active nerve fibers of unrivaled sensitivity with a tiny hand drill.
