As our beloved Bernie Mac frequently says on this show, pray fuh me, faithful readers. Tomorrow at 8:30, I will be visiting the endodontist for my root canal. If what my dentist and the endodontist says is true, it won't be nearly as bad and traumatic as I'd anticipated - at first, we thought they would have to take off my crown, do the root canal, put on a temporary crown, and then finally the permanent crown. But this specialist is going to use sonar to locate the roots in the tooth, and will drill through the crown to do the root canal, fill the canal up with rubber, and then put some porcelain over the top of the crown and then I'll be good to go.
The root canal has been looming over my head for a month or two. My dentist and I originally decided to wait till after the holidays for the procedure, but the abscess got worse two weeks ago, and it was more than I could handle. So after being on antibiotics for ten days, the time has come. I'm not too nerved up about it; I just want to get it over with so I can chew during the holidays.
