woot canaw, part 2

Today was so much better than last Tuesday. Didn't have the rubber dam over my mouth for quite as long, I don't think, plus I was concentrating on just letting it sit open rather than on holding it open, so while the joint is sore, it's not as bad. And I got the extra-strong Novocaine, which means I got less of it, which means it's already worn off (has in fact been worn off for like an hour). And the dentist took some care with the temporary crown to make sure it will fit in the bite guard, so yay.

Hopefully all this means my days of excruciating pain are over. But, as well, after Saturday's extreme awfulness, Sunday was better and today was actually good (I was able to chew on both sides of my mouth at both breakfast and lunch!), so if I feel better tomorrow and then worse Wednesday and worse yet Thursday and awful Friday, I will not panic unless I do not proceed to feel better on Saturday and well on Sunday.



I wonder who figured out you could do root canal?
