modern dentistry

Root canal today *wibble* To say that I'm nervous would definitely be an understatement. It's for the same tooth, actually, that started my fear of dentists when I was 7. Once I'm home (with the good drugs right?), I'm planning a Jane Austen film marathon (in between sleeping, I suppose) and cross stitching, which I find endlessly soothing. As a reward for being a Big Girl about my tooth (assuming there are no tears, yeah?), my mom bought me a special treat: a hunk of really good gruyere. There are already plans for a lovely French onion soup at the end of the week.

I was not, however, too afraid to have breakfast this morning ^.^ I had made some pear and apple sauce last night to go in oatmeal this week, which turned out excellent.

As a root canal veteran, I sympathize wholeheartedly. I hope yours goes smoothly. Your plan for relaxing afterwards sounds superb! <3

The procedure went smoothly, thank you, and so far I've had no pain (though the numbness took nearly eight hours to wear off. It was still traumatic but I suppose I'll get over it.
