Root Canal Stage 2 has been completed. They drilled away the tooth and put the temporary crown on. The joy of it is that it took about two hours to do, because they did the whole thing and while fitting the temp crown realised that they really did need to put a peg in the hole to stabilise things. Which meant more drilling, another impression for the final crown, and remaking the temp.
I have had so much novocaine injected into my gums that I feel sick. I’m itchy and uncomfortable and very tired and so far the Tylenol has done nothing. I actually feel a little bit like rocking back and forth and crying. Except I won’t. Because I don’t do things like that.
I’m whimpering though. And in my head I’ve been singing a song from The Electric Company.

Oh, poor you…and here I thought today would be fairly easy compared to last week. The worst is really over now. Sleep a lot and wake up with a solid new tooth.

You know I was flinching as I read this. Oh, does my heart ever go out to you!
