hkellickAs days went, it wasn't the worst day in the world yesterday.
As I thought I was instructed, I took one pill before I went to bed on Tuesday night and one an hour before the appointment. K drove me to the appointment and.. it turns out I should have taken two pills before the appointment. Ah well.
So.. he numbs me up, puts on my CD (I was instructed to bring a CD to listen to during the appointment so I grabbed "Barenaked Ladies Are Me" and "Apollo 18"), and.. he gets to work. There were a couple times of pain, apparently deadening the gum around the tooth isn't the same as deadening the root, so I felt some pain there (not extreme, but not good either. I hate pain.) until they got to deaden the root. The guy did a good job, though, and I like him. So.. I got the root canal done and a two fillings. In a couple months or so, after the first of the month and after I've gotten money back from the dental insurance (My insurance sucks. It's of the Pay Now and we'll pay you back later variety :P), we'll cap it and do some more fillings near my front teeth.
He said he'd call today to check on me as well.
So, anyways, it didn't hurt alot. He suggested a combination of advil and tylenol which seemed to help.
And then we went home (stopping by Giant so K could run in and get some tylenol and some flowers, because she's a dork who loves me ;) ) and I let K take care of me. Well, I sort of had to. The drugs I did take definately messed with me, bouts of dizziness and tiredness followed.
We did watch 5 episodes of Firefly, including "Our Mrs. Reynolds", and I'll admit, neither of us is getting that much into it. It's amusing, but... it's... well, we aren't getting into it.
What else?
Half-thinking of going to see "Pick of Destiny" real soon. Want to talk to K to see if it's OK to borrow the car and do it. Maybe tomorrow after work? ;D
Gotta figure out when to go to the gym too. If I go see Pick of Destiny tomorrow, then this weekend. Otherwise, tomorrow.
That's all I gotta say now. Special thanks to Kristen for being a good sport and taking care of me yesterday :)
