And on goes the saga

Of my teeth. Today was the root canal and temporary crown day, followed by debrisment (that would be the scraping of the nasty crust). I have to say I was pleasantly surprised: the worst parts were the smell and sound (of course) and the keeping my mouth open for 3 hours. They put a little wedge thing in there to rest your jaw on during the procedures, but my jaw joint is SO sore! Docter/Brother Powell said that pain will probably be the worst I have - much more than the actual tooth. So, in two weeks, expect more info.
