Ouch!

Yesterday I went to the dentist. Well, technically the endodontist. He made an incision in my gum tissue, drilled two holes in my jaw bone, and pulled out the infected roots of the tooth that have been causing me such pain for months. Luckily, he gave me several shots of numbing stuff first! I couldn't feel any pain, although it was still not a pleasant process. After taking care of the infection, he cleaned out the root canals, filled them with stuff, and sewed me back up. I now have a swollen jaw, and a supply of Lortab to keep me from feeling too much pain because the numbing stuff wore off long ago. The good news is, I get to do the whole thing again in two weeks on another tooth. :(
