Not so bad...

I spent all morning at the Dentists' office. I had root canals. Canals...plural. I had TWO of them.

All my life I have been terrified of the very words "root canal". Terrified. I have heard such horrible things about them. So I was prepared for it to be just as miserable as I had heard. Ya know what, it was nothing. Not even the shots hurt. Maybe it is because over the last few weeks I have had REALLY vicious things done in my mouth. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that my teeth that got root canals were hurting SO BAD before the root canals. or maybe it was because I took ***Vicodin right before and after he gave me two more. I think it is likely that was what made it okay.

My jaw hurts like crazy from holding my mouth open for so long. And my gums are sore because of the clamp thing, but overall (okay now this may sound crazy...) I actually had a relaxing morning. I listened to Ryan's iPod, laid back and just relaxed. Good thing it didn't suck, since I have TWO MORE tomorrow.

***Before all of my Blog readers stage an intervention, I do indeed enjoy a little Vicodin, however I need to say that I don't have a prescription-drug-dependency... unfortunately. I don't get my hands on it as often as I'd like often. But I have mentioned it a time or two before and I received a few comments and emails referring me to "seek some help for my problem". And I was told that "there are a lot of people with addictions to prescription pain killers, a lot of young Mothers". Those "people" and "young Mothers" also take a few more than like, 3-4 a week, 3 weeks out of the year. Just a guess, but, my caring readers, I don't think I qualify for an addict just yet. So ease up on the "just worried 'bout ya" comments, I'm just fine. I can only wish I were stoned more often.

Root canals scare me too. I was supposed to have one about...oh, 6 years ago but the 'temporary' filing is working just fine thank you very much.
As for your 'addiction'- i'm more interested in how your Dr Pepper one is going? lol

all i could see while reading this post was, $$$, $$$$$$$$...

4 root canals in two day? Dang. I hope you've got some good insurance. I'm currently enjoying a percocet.

Okay, if I had to have that much mouth work done, I would be popping Vicodin left and right.

I am SO jealous that your root canal went so well. They couldn't get mine numb so I had to go through it feeling like my butt was going to jump through my head.

YAY for you!!!

Yuck about the root canals. And I'm totally laughing about the vicodin. I heart Vicodin. After my last c section I actually CRIED when i took my last one. I didn't want the cloudy happiness to end.

It did.

Oh I'm so sorry---that really stinks. I laughed about the Vicodin too. My favorite thing after my c-section was the button I got to push every 10 minutes for more.

Wow.
You certainly are getting a lot of work done aren't you?
I used to do the dental assistant thing.... So I'm probably more interested than most regarding what exactly is going on.

Also.
Vicodin.

I would be addicted if I could get my hands on it more often.
But I don't, so I'm not.
Oh well.
There is always Nyquil for me!!!

I don't know if I could do a root canal, but vicadin is sounding pretty good about now.

I love vicodin...L O V E it!

And I too, have always been afraid of root canals...good to know they're not so bad if you're doped up. :P

Sorry about the root canals. Glad you got the drugs you need.

i have two root canals and one 14-month old... and i love the way you are bringing up 5 kids...
India unfortunately is going through a population explosion so ppl look at me weird if i mention more than 2 kids... its the kinda look you get abroad for mentioning drugs..
fortunately, we are very different here and while I can understand why ppl make such comments.. i cant ever imagine making them myself!
