Huh. Yay mashed potatoes! Pain go away!

So, I'm not sure how much of this I have told y'all, but I went to a new dentist right before my giant vacation for what I figured was a chipped tooth. X-rays, etc, they set me up with a root canal on the day I am leaving and a pre-root-canal cleaning the day before. I go in for the cleaning and they only do half my mouth, the other half from broken tooth. Which seems off but presumably they know what they are doing. A couple of hours later I get a call asking if they can move out the root canal because if staffing issues. At this point I have antibiotics and pain killers and have been told that if I have a problem while I'm travelling I can go to one of their other offices so I move it to after I get back - yesterday. Yesterday they call me half an hour before my appointment to tell me they haven't gotten my crown and they want to delay again, they'll call me to reschedule when they get it. Fine. This morning I get a text saying "We missed seeing you, reschedule here". I am pretty sure it's just the automated texting system has not caught up with the actual person I spoke to yesterday, but I'm losing a little confidence in this whole enterprise.
