awake and alive

So I got my root canal done today. Doug Hinterman did it for me, and he was fantastic! I barely felt anything, and even though it took a while to do it, it really was not bad at all. He used plenty of anesthesia, so all those myths/movies with screaming patients was not the situation for me.  I’m so glad that it’s over now.

I took a couple of pictures with my camera phone while they were away doing something else…

Here’s the ceiling I stared at for almost 3 hours:

And here’s what I looked like with the tooth isolator thingy on:

And now it’s been like an hour and a half since I got it done, and still feelin pretty good.  I guess it helps that I have some prescription pain medication…   Anyway, I gotta get some schoolwork done now.
