Coot Ranal.

Well, i’ve been waiting for it. And the complete lack of sleep last night due to pain, finally made me suck it up and get it done.
An unexpected root canal. As Andy so nicely put it, “Make them numb you till you can’t feel your brain!!!!!” I did. And i didn’t feel much of anything. All the anguish was nothing more than a little anxiety in the ol’ noggin.
I will say however, while i didn’t feel much pain, the only thing that was a little taxing was that it took a freakin’ hour and a half. Quite the procedure. Not sure if that’s standard protocol or if my lack of attention to my chipped tooth for the last five years caused it. What ever the case may be, while it wasn’t pleasant, it definitely wasn’t intolerable.
It is expensive though. Especially if you don’t have dental insurance as i conveniently do not. But i did manage to snag an X-Ray you can see below. That’s my tooth with a whole bunch of stuff crammed in it courtesy of the Doc.
I’m also unexpectedly moving in a couple of weeks to my own place! It’s tiny but it’s in a neat little town and close to the new job.
Visitations are in order now that i’m without roommates!
I’ll keep you posted on that front.
A week until a crown procedure and then finally i’ll get to chew with my whole mouth again!
Imagine that!
