A Mighty Fine Life

So the good news is that my tooth feels much, much better, and I can eat again. The bad news is, I need a root canal. So the last time this started, apparently the nerve was dying; now it's dead, but infected. The infection built up, caused pressure, and thus pain. So in order to relieve that, my dentist drilled the back of the tooth open to let it drain. So you can imagine how lovely that is. They need to remove it, though (the dead nerve, not the tooth, or something like that), hence the root canal. And now I'm on an anti-biotic. But drilling the tooth did, in fact, work pretty well, and it doesn't in fact hurt like crazy anymore.

(As a general FYI, I'm trying to avoid root canal horror stories. This is me, sticking my fingers in my ears. So no sharing, please.)

Anyhoo, I'm generally sort of stressed out and have been unhappy for awhile (minus having Rachel and Margot visit, which was awesome). I'm freaked out about moving, but hopefully once I get out of here, I'll be start doing a bit better. Thanks to everyone fro their earlier concern. I think I've used up my drama queen allotment for awhile, but stay tuned. You never know when a total meltdown is right around the corner!
