Okay, so as everyone knows (even those who've never experienced it)- root canals suck. There's a reason for the famous euphemism "I'd rather have a root canal done."
I know this because I just recently had one done, so I'm just FULL of opinions on them at the moment. I won't bore you with the details and the whining I'd truly like to do, but let's just say it was more than what I bargained for.
For starters, I have learned two very important things about my mouth that I could've probably guess...but I'm glad I have an official-dicial account of this: I have a small mouth and a big tongue. :cue oral sex jokes:
As charming as that sounds, is makes dental work a lot harder, frankly. My jaw was sore for a whole week from having to hold my mouth open as wide as I could get it for an hour and a half. Doesn't sound so bad? You try and hinge your mouth open like a damn snake and hold it for five minutes, then get back to me.
I could honestly go on about this but I'll leave it here- after realizing there was additional infection in the tooth, they had to SHAVE down my BONE. Which involves slicing my gum open to get to it. And that requires stitches after it's all said and done...did I mention I had to be given the local anesthetic five times?? There was no sedation of any sort. In face you were wondering what it sounds like to have your bone shaved down, well...I won't give you those type of nightmares because I like you too much. Lucky you!
Anyway, after all is said and done, I'm feeling better this morning. I figured after the last treatment a week ago that it would end in more misery, but quite honestly I'm feeling okay. I'm also on pain killers this time so that *might* have something to do with it.
Back to writing which is why you are probably here!
Writing will be done tomorrow so that I can have an extra day to shake off the dental treatment funkies. Expect Georgiana's Place to be published by Halloween!! That feisty redhead is just dying to introduce herself to everyone ;)
Enjoy your Thursday, y'all!
