'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Now can someone tell me the trick to having enough energy to deal with a teething infant with a cold.
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.

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

Root canals?
yup two root canals.

Today? I've had a tiny bit of breakfast egg/challah/cheese casserole, and....room temperature coffee. It's almost 6, and I think I might pass out from hunger, but it hurts too much to eat.
And the crying? Oh, yeah. It's bad. I'd do anything to make it stop right now.

I don't have a dentist currently, so I'm wondering how good the odds are of being seen this week if I call someone and say, "Yeah, I'm not a current patient, but I'm in agonizing pain, so...how soon can I come in?"
