Just got back from yet another dentistry session, one more to get the crown installed. This time I swear the needle almost reached my eyeball. As a result the left side of my face is completely numb and even my eye is rotating around with a mind of its own.

All in a good cause though, hopefully.

The month that barely seemed like one. And it ended on a real high note for me, yet another root canal. On the other hand we’re expecting snow on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday which is a real treat. Nothing like the -40 temperatures that Mac’s facing, but still something for this area.

Sorry Mac, I feel for you, I really do. Honest.

Numbness takes over and you’re quite happy and relieved when they start with the drills. I can take that. I can even take the jaw-jarring drill that seems to really be quite rough, even though I did sink a little further into the seat.

Then I caught sight of the root canal file. I’ve seen one before but it’s like those car crash victims who have amnesia, I forgot it immediately. Today it brought it all back and I sat there thinking about how bloody large these things were and he was pushing it up into my jaw.

Ow. Double ow. Thank god for jaw-numbing drugs.
