From the puck to the world.

i survived! a little numb, a little sore but i survived.

and it isn't over yet, unfortunately. he did a lot of the work today but i have to go back to get the crown in and then after that, for a cleaning and a check up. he said there looked to be another tooth but he couldn't tell if that was just a shadow or what.

great.

twenty nine years and it all falls to shit in a month. he said he wished i would of called earlier. and i wanted to remind him that i called for three weeks straight before i got a call back. of course he didn't know i was looking for him. and i didn't know he was having back surgery and then was out for some time.

so yeah.

but i did seriously try to call and get in for awhile there. oh well. anyway. moving on. its done and over with.

the greatest thing about the entire experience-if thats what you want to call it.-was the waiting in between when i sat there in the chair. and read. i got through 40 pages in between all of the dental work that needed to be done. and that was maybe a fifteen minute break to go see another patient or something while the Novocain kicked in. yeah they came back and were pretty impressed with it.

still unsure about tomorrow he said i would be pretty sore for the next day or so. more so tomorrow. when i talked to andy today he said 'well your going to take tomorrow off' and the way he said it was like umm ok. and then he added. 'well just the way you are talking, your taking it off.' and i got confused cus he didn't sound to thrilled about me taking tomorrow off. but just last weekend he was like you should take off. and blah blah blah.

so now i am thoroughly confused. and will just play it by ear. again see how i feel. i could always work from home. or what not.

but yeah. i am so thrilled that its done and over with. at least for now anyway. ask me again in two weeks when i have to go back and it may be a different story.
