the root of the problem

Well, the fall-out from the fall down continues today with a scheduled root canal to be done late in the day on the front tooth that is still experiencing pain as a result of the Great Slip of '08. I assume I'll look like this guy around 4pm this afternoon
("Yeah, Root Canal! Now this is EXTREME!") --->


Not looking forward to it, but it may be necessary. I will have the good Dr. note that the tooth is not feeling near as bad as it was last week, although there is still some pain when pressure is applied. And then I was doing my job earlier today where I got to mingle with an acquaintance who'd been on vacation since I'd met the rocks with a bang. So I'm telling him about the whole thing and that I've got the SURGERY going on today, and he tells me that it must be capped or the tooth will rot out and actually fall apart while I'm eating popcorn and watching a movie with my future ex Wifey. Well I' don't want that, especially with it being in the front of the ol' kisser.

UPDATE:
It's done. It was all dead inside and it was required. So the tooth is filled with the stuff that teethe get filled with and it's all over. Except that I was given a scrip for Vicadin, which may cause me to not post anything for a couple of days... niice. Oh, and no crown. Sweeet.
