I'm finally back. The dentist was sheer torture. The shot was actually the least of it today - that didn't hurt nearly as much as the last time. But the drilling down of the tooth that's getting the crown was excruciating. It was like he kept hitting a nerve - he said he wasn't, but it sure felt like it - and it took longer than the other tooth. At some point, he shot some more Novocain directly where he was working, and that really helped. I have the temporary crown in now, but that whole side of my mouth is really sore, like someone had punched me really hard there. And the tooth itself is sore on top of that, and I'm still a little numb on top of that, and I'm getting a headache on top of that, so I don't know that I'll be going to see that show tonight.
