Boy
that hurt. The actual root canal procedure was a piece of cake next to
the pain that set in after the Marcaine wore off. I thought the
nerves had been removed. So why did that tooth hurt so much afterward.
As bad as before?
I wonder if it's like phantom pain
people get after a limb is amputated. The nerves may be gone, but the
pain that your brain remembered is still the same. EEEEEWWWWWW.
For various reasons I was taking
Tylenol instead of Advil. After a day of pain that makes
childbirth feel like shopping, I said, "SCREW THIS!!" And I went for
the heavy duty Advil. I didn't care if my arms fell off, I
couldn't take the sensation of someone hammering a nail into my gums
anymore.
In ten short minutes the junkyard
dog ache barking in my face evaporated in a POOF. Gone. And it hasn't
come back. Mainly because I keep medicating myself every eight hours
with MORE Advil.
Just in time to meet a friend
downtown for lunch. What's good to order when you're only supposed to
eat on one side of your mouth?

I'd probably vote for a nice bowl of Democrat soup. It's bland, tasteless, and was created by people who talk out of both sides of their mouth.
Don't forget to swallow.

Anything that can go through a straw? Otherwise, small tiny bites, and don't chew, just swallow, lol.
