tarotgalSo my toothache was absolutely no better when I woke up this morning. It kept waking me up every few hours last night with shooting pain, including half an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off. So I had some time to think about things, and then I took more pain med at 8. I called and got a dentist appointment and then called in sick to work, which kills me to do, but I did it.
Then I tried to sleep again, without much success. I need new sheets. I have a hole in my bottom sheet, which sucks becuase they've my favorite- plaid flannel, pretty close to MacLeod tartan.
ANYWAY, I mailed a package on my way out, and went to the dentist. Got there a little early so I read in my car for half an hour (can you tell I was anxious? Getting there 45 minutes early! I forget that there's no traffic at 1pm in the afternoon).
Dentist... I LOVE him, nicest guy in the world, unlike my former dentist who is easily the meanest. LOL Anyway, I had to have a root canal, as I thought I'd need. He'd mentioned when he removed part of the tooth and filled cavities that I'd probably need one, one day. ANd today was the day. The prognosis wasn't good. I'll spare you the HORRIBLE details but words included: dead root, bacterial infection and pus. NOT tasty.
So I had a root canal and have to go back for a possible post and crown in two months. Which means I probably won't get to go on a family trip in winter, as planned. Shit! Maybe I'll call tomorrow and get the appointment moved just in case. Means having a temporary filling a little longer, but I can live with that.
So I went to Walmart to get my antibiotics RX filled and realized I had NO gas in my car. So I pulled into the station to fill up just a little and, through a series of hardware malfunctions and my own bad timing, ended up spilling gasoline all over my arm and part of my shirt and the rear of the car. DAMNIT!! I had wet-wipes in the trunk (cuz I'm paranoid like that) and wiped off, then went into Walmart and cleaned up again. Then got the RX filled. How much do I LOVE having health care now???! *LOVES*
So that's my day. Root canal and being drenched in gasoline. Could have been worse, definitely, but I don't really recommend either, if you can avoid them :-)
