The Root Canal – Part I

Hello,

I am writing this amid a pique of fear.

I have dentist in a couple of hours, I am having root canal gubbins done. I don’t know alot about dentistry, but I know it will hurt. Having my teeth scraped yesterday hurt and even the most rudimentary knowledge will tell you that drilling hurts more than scraping.

It’s 8.30am. Alas, I have not just woken up but am working on my night shift – meaning I’ve had a whole night to let the fear build up.

I might run away to France instead, go and crush grapes or something.

But I won’t.

I’ll go.

I get the feeling they won’t give me a sticker like the last time I had work done. I will buy myself a present on the way home, maybe some lego.

On the plus side, when this is done it won’t be agony to drink/eat/think. But it will be to get drilled.

Anyhow, off now.

If you read this before 10am, think of me.

Will update later if I survive.
