Root Canal

I woke up this morning at 6:30am (okay well I may have slept in til 7 on accident) so I could go see my dentist before work at 10. My teeth have been bothering me for about a week and a half now and I thought maybe it was an old filling that had fallen out or a cavity. Well I get there and John checks my teeth out. (Also, I don't normally refer to my doctor's by their first names but in this case I'm allowed to call him John since him and my dad grew up together in Florida and then were college buds too). So he looked me over and said I needed to get some root canal work done. Worst news ever.

They put me on the gas (which I love) and numbed me up. The root canal took about an hour and a half and the actual procedure wasn't bad. I don't mind the dentist because I really like that gas...John always jokes about it with me since I just lie there giggling the whole time. I'm sure I'm not the easiest mouth to work on because of that.

But afterward my teeth just ached. And it still hurts :-/ I'm sitting here trying to eat yogurt and I keep freaking myself out because I feel the little fruit pieces in my mouth from the yogurt and I keep thinking it's pieces of my teeth!

I can't feel the left side of my face, and I'm here at work greeting people and answering phones. I look ridiculous. Not to mention I can't control the drool dripping out of my mouth!

I'm a mess.
