I'm all drilled & filled. The appointment took much longer than the last one. Something about the difference in doing upper tooth as opposed to a lower one. I learned they have to numb you up more as you have a major nerve running thru your lower jaw.
They Doc and assistant were very good, even with me having as the doc put it "a very strong gag response" There's a gay/blow job joke there but I'll leave it alone as this is a family oriented blog.
One strange thing happened as I was lying there. The music was on and Billy Joel's "Big Shot" came on. It was Dede's and my song. Dede was my girlfriend in high school and beyond. We lost her earlier this year. I posted about it here if your interested. When I went back and read that post I now see I never said it was suicide. The tears started streaming out of my eyes as I was trying to focus on the music and not the drilling. The Doc and assistant got a bit freaked out thinking I was in pain. All I could do with a dental dam and cotton and a wedge in my mouth was point to the speaker and laugh. Thankfully it's just the Endodontist and I'm hoping I won't have to have another root canal anytime soon so they can think me a freak if they want.
Thank you for all your love and concern. I'm a big weenie when it comes to this stuff so it really helped. On the upside I get to be a slacker again today and hang out with Bear. We'll be stalking Doug, the new neighbor later tonight.

Jay asked for some daytime pics of the fuscia's this morning as he headed out the door.

glad the dentist thing is over for you
gosh can i ship dad's plants to you before i kill them
Aw, sweet, I'm sorry the song brought back sad memories. I'm glad the drilling and such is over. It's about time to move on and have a happy mouth. :)
Love you!
I'm a total dental weenie, so whine away.....
Glad that stuff is all over with!
Its terrible when there are songs linked to a bad memory because they always come up on the muzak when you're most vulnerable.
My poor Bradley. I hope you're feeling better soon. I'm sorry about the sad memories. xxoo
Poor Boo! They suck...that's it..suck,suck,suck! But , the pain is finally gone right? Now on to the crowns, right? i'm saving up for those babies. lol
your Fuscia's are gorgeous!
And it's in the 60's and 70's there? What's with that?? Our heat index is 106*!!! Yuck-o!
Enjoy your week Boo!!
Congrats on that being over! I know what an annoyance that can be.
You're my kind of guy, you know. We'd be friends if we lived closer. Hang out. Loved this post. Made me laugh, and I so related to the crying. You should have seen me at Momma Mia.
Your fuscia's are gorgeous. I remember how well they grow in your state. I saw a tuberous begonia that size at the beach. It was amazing!
Glad the dental work is over. What a pain!
If I have a real phobia it's somehow related to the dentist's chair. The most beautiful flowers I've ever seen were in Seattle. Yours are at the top of that category. Crying when music brings back memories is something I think we all do even if we don't admit it.
Hope you continue to feel better and that the dental work is over for a long, long time.

Oh I am soooooo afraid of doctors and dentists both. So I know exactly how you felt. I'm so glad its over with and I hope you never have to have another RC. YUCK!
The flowers are just absolutely gorgeous. At night the plant looks like it lights up like a little Christmas tree. They sure do love it there! Sweet dreams. xxoo
I didn't know you back in January, and I'm really sorry for you loss. It hurts to lose a friend, especially that way, it makes us all wonder, ALOT. I think you are the greatest guy, just so you know...when you give your heart, you really give it. The world could do with more folks like you...
I am really hoping you aren't in too much pain today. Are you back to work?
It's raining like a bastard here, kind of fitting for my mood.
Happy Thursday Brad.
:)
I'm glad that the rootie went well and yes there are worse spots in the mouth for them..trust me i've had about 8 rootcanals, probably even more lost track, I'll have to check my dental raging out of control bills. :)
Gag reflex eh? Sounds like a manstump question. :) lol
It sounds like you're accepting closure from you dear friends tragic death--tears help after time they really do-especially when they're triggered by a song, someones voice, the smell of their cologne/perfume, a quirky mannerism in someone else----
Are you feeling a bit better?
Listen Bradley, you can plant my garden anytime you want to! Those flowers are just beautiful!
beautiful!
much love,
Elizabeth
Here's hoping you're feeling much better today!
The fuscias are amazing. The nurseries always have them in the spring around here. I've finally learned that they hate our weather and always die. I would love to have one like yours that actually lived! They are absolutely stunning!
Sorry about your friend. Suicide is cruel on all sides.
Oooh, I see, you went and had the other tooth worked on. I thought it had started to hurt - so I guess it's good you got it worked on before it flared up?
I don't think I realized what exactly happened when your friend died. That's terrible - no wonder you started crying. I'm crying for you just thinking about it.
love you -
