The second day of my new year....

I had a horrible night. I was in so much pain that I debated going to the ER! I didn't want to be a baby, so I just stayed home, and cried all night (and took as much pain medication that I could legally). I slept maybe 45 minutes total. It was terrible. Luckily I had the dentist first thing this morning.

I just got back from the dentist...and oh my! I am not in too much pain at the moment because my face is half frozen. It turns out I had a major infection in one of my teeth, and one of the roots in my tooth was dying. The dentist said that it was so bad and swollen that he'd have to immediately do a root canal! He said normally I'd have to book an other appointment, but he couldn't leave it! When he got started he found that my tooth had 4 nerves (usually there are only 3 in that particular tooth!) and that would explain my extreme pain. He could only do part of the proceduce as he had other patients waiting, and he got me over the "major" part of the procedure. I got a prescription for some antibiotics and some heavy duty pain killers. I go back next Tuesday to complete the procedure.

The remainder of my day will be spent right here on my couch...with my Asthma Education Course studying, playing on the internet, and watching TV.

I have no interest in eating, blech. I hope to also get in a nap before Darren and Paige get home.
