per_soloAt age 32, it is now time for my first Root Canal.
Went to a new dentist today, to fix the filling that fell out, and instead of fixing it, he looked, then took X-Rays, and said that I need a root canal before he can fill that.
Infection...yay, fun. So, I'm on a wonderful drug called...Hmm...yup, it's Penicillin. Have to take 1 at Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, and then before bed...RC will be done next Thursday, and I should be able to drive home from it (Me, the boy who continually wants to be put under for such, doubt I will be this time)...and, while taking the Penicillin, I have to take 2 Motrin IB with each "dose".
Jokes about "Pill Freaks" can commence in 5...4....
seriously, yeah...scared. But, the Dentist had a good manner, joked a little (Well, Chris, you only need to worry about flossing the teeth you want to keep), and I plan on recommending him, assuming nothing catastrophic happens. After the RC, I'll end up talking to him about what has been diagnosed by friends as TMJ, and see what can be done about that.
Now...I'm tired. So I think I'm going to go lie down for a bit...have fun.
