I hate the dentist

Last night I suddenly felt awful. I had a fever of 101.8, very achy, congested, generally in bad shape. I decided to try COLDFX. In the state I was in I was willing to give anything a try. And I *do* feel much better today. Well… until my dental appointment.

I had a root canal on a wisdom tooth today. What an unpleasant experience. Beyond the pain and discomfort you have a rubber work device jammed into your mouth (this ruins any chance of me ever having a latex fetish) which kept coming undone. Then there were the needles, drills, burning tools, torture tools… Gah. It actually feels worse now. The procedure took about 1.5 hours at a cost of $1175 bucks. Thank gawd for medical coverage. I hoping all the discomfort I’m feeling dissipates soon. It is to be expected but now I’m wondering if something was missed or done incorrectly, or if this is expected discomfort. Hmmm. Root canal = bad. I ended up taking the afternoon off to sleep.
