(no subject)
I am back from the much-anticipated, endodonic procedure I'd been waiting for. I.e., I just had a root canal.
I was the biggest wimp in the waiting room too. I heard a drill from down the hall and couldn't stop myself from crying right then. Damn, I hate drills. Everyone in the office was very sympathetic though. I'm sure I'm not the first person to walk through their doors scared to death.
The procedure itself wasn't so bad. Except for a couple of (scary) loud "crack"s at the beginning I think it was actually easier than getting the crown. Whether that's due to a) more novocaine b) my nerve being removed or c) me listening to music the entire time since Josh found my iPod, I'm not sure. No matter what the reason, I'm pretty grateful for it though. Odds are good I'm going to go back to that office when we start taking care of the left side of my mouth, but that will probably wait until next month.
In the meantime I'll try to enjoy some of my time off and get ready to go to Yosemite for a week. On my way home from the dentist I even picked up some snow pants for Kaitlin.
