Can I just say ouch?

Now, before you start snickering, here me out… I went to the dentist today. For a root canal. Are you trembling yet? You should be.

While the root canal wasn’t that painful, it was scary. I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to my teeth (like you aren’t…) so for me, it’s more the vibration and the sound of the drill. Ick. Ouch. Ug.

Unfortunately, dentist wasn’t able to complete the root canal. Through my numb brain (they had to inject me 6 times) I heard something about calcification…whatever that means. And oh, by the way, you’re headed to a specialist.

Remember what I said about being a wuss? All I could think of at that point was oh heavens, please let them just carry me over there in an ambulance right now so that I’m still numb when I get there. The drilling was rather traumatic. Not to mention all those injections.

No such luck. Two unanswered phone calls to the specialist and a two week wait before I can get this puppy finished.

So today, I’m camped out on the couch, working as much as possible, day dreaming about the one medicine I know will cure this poor tooth. Romance novels. Seriously… there’s something about a good, upbeat, optimistic novel about love and family and forever that totally lifts my spirits and for a while eases all worry and pain.

As much as I love apples, I’m thinking a romance novel a day would really keep me in top shape. Between you and me, kisses help too. Now if my darling husband would just finish work for the day. My cheek needs a kiss. And I need a good book.

Off to the library.
