I went in for a root canal this morning but they couldn't do it. My TMJ is so severe it prevents me from opening my mouth wide enough for them to work on my molars. After an hour in the chair and another four shots of novocaine, I get to go BACK in three weeks and get nitrous oxide, which will make me so high they can crack my jaw open like a walnut and get back there to do what they need to do. I'm now numb but my jaws are aching and my head hurts, too. Stoopid TMJ.
Aw, Cashmere. Going back yet again is bad enough, but you have to wait three weeks? Sheeesh. Are you on an antibiotic in the interim, or anything to help with the tooth problem, itself?
The movers showed up at my house this morning. They were supposed to come tomorrow. Ellie was asleep, Joe was at work, and I was picking up the hosue to show it to potential buyers. Thankfully, it has all worked itself out, more or less.
Wow, Stephanie. Are they coming back tomorrow, or did they start taking stuff, today?

Hee. I consult that website probably at least once a week, and still sometimes snicker at typing in the "wolfram" part.
I'm in Baltimore. Reading the booard on the Treo makes me crazy. No real computer until tonight. Love to all....
Fay, yeah, that is totally who Tom Scola reminds me of, besides his own photo, but I knew there was something else. Danny Strong.
vw, sorry about your landlord. Put mine is on the list too.
Laura's in Baltimore?

The good thing is that there isn't a bunch of pain or problems with the tooth itself. The tooth had a HUGE filling that was getting old. It was so large because the last time I had it filled, it really needed a crown but I had no dental insurance so the dentist kindly recreated the tooth out of amalgam. Now that the filling is aging, it really needs to be replaced with a complete crown. But the filling is so deep and so extensive that it's better to do the root canal now, rather than get a crown and need it done later. So I'm not dealing with an aching tooth on top of everything else. I just hate that in my desire to be proactive, I've ended up with this long, drawn out process and series of procedures that are as high in my ranking of fun as rectal surgery.

I told DH the joke. He did laugh because he watched Angel with me.
Travel safely, Laura.
Stephanie, I'm glad the movers worked out ok. I hope Ellie travels well for you next week.
Ok, Just "went to class" for the first time. Am freaking out. Will be going to have breakfast and maybe drink to asuage fears.
{{{Aimee}}} It will be ok. You'll do fine.
