Welcome to root canal city, population me.

Thursday 01 March 2007 at 7:13 pm
After a day at work stoned out of my mind on Motrin and fighting the aftereffects of a power failure, I left the office and headed for home for the appointment at the endodontist's.

As the title of this post implies, I'm due for a root canal in about two weeks' time. The botched crown my last dentist installed somehow allowed something nasty to swim down into the tooth (which wasn't hollowed out, incidentally, just capped) and eventually take up residence.

I've started antibiotics and I've got analgesics out the yin-yang.

Well, it happens. Hang in there until it’s cleaned out.

uhhhh…

you can’t be “stoned out of your mind” on motrin. it’s impossible. motrin has no euphoric effects. it’s an nsaid, not a narcotic.

Tooth and claw.

I know – intellectually, I’m aware of this. I’m not sure why I keep getting a drunken feeling from taking it, though. Maybe it’s my body reacting oddly, between elevated levels of stress hormones and analgesics, I don’t know. Antibiotics wouldn’t cause it (though they do cause swelling like a mother).
