An example of how it was today… you know how you talk when you leave the dentist after having the side of your face deadened..? your tongue does not work, your lips won’t hold back the seeping spit… I had a root canal done today… the old molar split maybe 15 years ago. At that time the dentist ground out most of the split and put a cap on… well over time I guess it went a bit deeper so it was go to the “Endodontist”. Seems back some years ago the Dentist was the guy that did it all with your teeth…? but now there are multiple specialists for particular portions of working on dental malfunctions.. No mater which doctor you go to they all have plaques on the wall that says “practicing”… seems to me they better quit practicing and get down to the real thing?
They said it would probably take 1 1/2 hour to do it all up… well they got me done in about 1 hour… I feel real lucky cause I have real problems leaned back, a bit block shoved in so you can’t close your mouth and all the time your own spit and drainage is trying to drown you… try to swallow with your mouth wide ass open… almost impossible and that guy working, he doesn’t car, he has a digging job with hundreds of little tools to play with and by gosh he is going to use as many as possible… I am sure at times both he and the nurse had their hands in my mouth… and I am drowning hear… … He did say if I couldn’t take it that we could do it in two sessions… what the hell, if I am going through all this you think I like it and want to come back? no way , I can stand it just as long as … wait, I got to swallow here… come on I need to clear my throat… oh well… I stuck in there and we are done… I hope… refiled the crown and polished it up and that is that… I hope… WARNING… if your squeamish DON’T LOOK ETHEL!
no that ain’t me…just some other fool that had that same contraption in his moth…
So far I can’t complain but the deadening hasn’t all gone… maybe later tonight I will cry like a baby when the real pain kicks in? No real pain pills form this one so I will live on Ibuprofen and Tylenol for a day or two?…
