Had stage 2 of root canal today, one more stage to go. Anyway, I got to the dentist office at 9:30 and got settled in the chair of doom. She put the Nitrous on me, leaned me back. I started feeling GOOD and I do mean GOOD. The dentist came in gave me a couple of shots - didn't feel a thing. Then he stuck that damn needle in the roof of my mouth, but don't fret - I was able to get a few cuss words out while he was killing me. Dang, that hurt like heck. Anyway, they turned up the gas and the next thing I REALLY remember is 12:15 and I am standing at the desk with my credit card to pay the bill of $568.00. Wow, now this is the kind of dentist I like, you really don't care about spending that much money for a drug to make you happy!!
I drove back to work - yes, I drove - was a tad high, but made it back OK. Not a lot of pain, just uncomfortable. I go back next Tuesday for placement of the crown. Then, I will be done...with that tooth! One more to go then I am caught up. YEA!!!
Also, I made an appointment for Tom to be tortured next Tuesday as well - for his root canal. Sorry, Tom - but I am doing this for your own good. You will thank me later. OK, so that sentence never worked on the kids either!
