Root Canal!




I am starting to feel like an old woman due to the fact that I have been to the dentist 5 times in the last month! Yes, I am having teeth issues due to my fillings are getting too old. I was sooo nervous to go to the dentist here. I sent Cory on a mission to check the place out before we made the appointment. I made Cory go with me and he literally had to hold my hand to get me there. When I saw the entryway of the stairwell that would take me to the office, I almost turned back and said I would just deal with the pain going on inside my mouth. Instead of taking the rickety elevator, we took the stairs. There was no lights taking us up to the 4th floor, so I held onto Cory's jean pockets as he led the way in the pitch black. Finally we arrived. I am currently undergoing a root canal and will be going for the second part on Thanksgiving day!! I really realized we are in a different place when the dentist was talking on her cell phone for several minutes while scraping out the inside of my tooth and I was lying there listening to arabic music trying to relax!
