Whew! I survived a double root canal yesterday! God, I feel so much better today! A little sore, kind of like I have been punched in the face..but much, much better.
Thanks Again, for all the well wishes!
I am sorry, there is no HNT or Throwback Thursday photo today...wasn't really feeling up to par last night. I went to an oral surgeon for the root canals...he did a great job...the only thing I can not figure out...when you are lying in the dental chair, mouth all numbed up...in my case, a big metal vise in your mouth, to hold your mouth open, this 4 x 6 piece of rubber stretched over your mouth, held in place by the metal clamp thingy, to create a "dam" I was told....Why in the heck do the dental assistants and dentist try to talk to you...They ask you mundane questions like, Where do you work?....you try and reply, it comes out like... I vook rrr radyruidltuiyqpady! Then, they go, Where? You and try and repeat yourself...once again, they don't understand you....What do they expect? No one can carry on a conversation under those conditions...just leave me to the horrible piped in music and fear, please..that is what I want to say!
Anyway, things went well...the initial pain is gone....except for the financial pain. Oh, my God...even with insurance, you just about have to take out a small loan to pay for it....guess my kids don't really need Christmas this year. We can all stand around the tree, I will put a big ribbon on my mouth, we can call the kids over...say, Look at Moms dental work....Merry Christmas everyone! Nah, just kidding...the kids will have Christmas....it is just unbelievable the money that has to be put out for any kind of dental procedure....I think I just bought him a new car yesterday. LOL...I like my regular dentist..but this oral surgeon I went too...He totally rocked! He was so funny, not to mention very very cute....He constantly kept asking me if I was ok...patting my shoulder, making jokes...After it was over, he goes...Now, for the good part. What kind of drugs do you want for the pain? How about some Vicodine? I was like, Yeah, Baby! Vicodine...the good stuff. Then he said, I know..How about some Vicodine ES....I am like Vidodine ES? He said, Yeah, Vicodine Extra Strength....Whoa! I did not know it came in the extra strength variety....Whoo Hoo!! When he went to hand me the script....he would hold it out to me, then pull it away....several times... I laughed, grabbed it out of his hand...then he said, Do you know what goes good with that? I said, What? He said, Miller Lite....Too Funny! (let me just say, he was not serious about the mixing of alcohol with painkillers....we all know that is a lethal combination, something you should never do, he was just joking)
Anyway, I got the afternoon off from work, went home took some of that lovely pain medicine, slept for a while...I feel much better!
Unfortunately, now I have to work Saturday. Oh, well...at least I will be pain free!
Dixiechick....Out.
