Root canals suck

[eimarra]

I went in for the second half of a root canal this morning. It was supposed to be simple clean-up and placement of the permanent filling. Ha! Turns out they missed one of the roots last week, and there was mild infection at the base of the other root, and my tooth curves weird. Three hours of work for another temporary filling and an appointment next week.

The right side of my face is split between numb and sore. I think I'll be skipping lunch today.

And don't even get me started on the bleach solution they used to rinse my mouth!

(Oh, and I'm not actually listening to Little Shop of Horrors right now, but it seemed appropriate.)

And you expect to work on your novel? Wow.
Why not insert random exclamations of pain. Only separate it by putting it in italics.
Leave the reader guessing as to what it all means. lol

Hugs. Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, root canals suck...

Bleargh ick! Take big painkillers. Okay, it'll make the writing interesting...

Yes, the novel's crazy enough, and I think it's all going to be written non-linearly with me chopping it up and reassembling it in the editing phase anyway, that the root canal shouldn't really impinge on the writing. Can't take the codeine yet, though, because I have to go to a PTA meeting tonight, and driving would be a mistake.
