Thanks, Cashmere. Now can someone tell me the trick to having enough energy to deal with a teething infant with a cold.

Speaking of teeth...
I think it *is* a tooth. Finally today I'm having serious pain when I bite down, and it's pretty much located in one tooth, way in the back. I'm obviously not a dentist, but it looks like there's a crack in it.
So, uh, how bad is root canal? Is it horrible?

Brandy. 1. For the parental units/caregivers - it is a very efficient fuel. Honest. 2. Rubbed onto unhappy gums, it is a traditional (if lately frowned upon, but hey, it didn't kill me or turn me into an alcoholic) remedy. 3. Also a sip or two works as a cough suppressant.

The worst part of a root canal is having your jaw open for that long. Load up on advil before you go and you should be fine.

Really? I always hear horror stories about horribly painful root canal procedures. And I've gotten most of my fillings with NO novacaine, so I'm not a big wimp when it comes to dental pain. But -- this tooth hurts so much, I don't want the dentist to even *touch* it, so I can't imagine that the whole root canal dealie would be pain-free.
Also, I need to stop reading things on the internet about root canal surgery.

What she said. And the relief from the local alone is just wonderful. I was able to eat that evening (mushy stuff, but temps no longer hurt.) ETA: get the local. Seriously.

Oh, god, that's the worst part -- eating anything, even on the "good" side, hurts SO much.

You mean novacaine shots? Or whatever they use? Trust me, this hurts so badly that I wouldn't dream of forgoing anaesthesia this time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am a wimp when it comes to dental work. I have had two . It takes 3 shots to numb me -- and that is the worst part.
agreeing with those that I could eat that night with care.

Yup. I was pretty much down to ice cold liquids and crying by the time I got to the dentist. And that night I had spicy black bean soup and quesadillas with mushrooms. I could chew.
