Off to see the wizard, er...endodontist
By the time most of you read this I'll know whether or not I'm scheduled for a root canal. The good news is that I'm not in pain. The bad news is that the dentist thinks that the odd, phantom pain I had a few years ago was the result of the root dying. The small pocket of infection may still be there, lurking in the bone beneath the affected tooth. And x-rays show a crazy little hook to the end of the root that makes the regular dentist loathe to tackle it. So I'm off to the endodontist for a consultation.
Even on the worst of days, writing is more fun than visiting dentists. The only thing I can do is turn this experience into material for future writing, much the way I use the experience of being summoned for jury duty. Oh dear. I hope I haven't sent you all into depression with this post. Write something positive today, won't you? It might help restore equilibrium to the blogosphere.
