I Lived

Finding out you are having a root canal on the day you have a root canal kind of sucks. But, I lived through it. And, true to form the anesthesia wore off before the procedure was over. Even though we re-injected two more times, it was no good. And, that is why I hate going to the dentist. No matter how many times they tell me I will not feel it, my body metabolizes the meds so fast that I always end up with the dentist staring at me incredulously....."you can feel that?"

Was it the cry of pain that gave it away? Here's your sign. (That was for the Bill Engvall fans).

And today was just part 1. Next Wed is part 2 of the root canal. 4 hours of torture was not enough. But, I did leave with a consolation prize of some pain meds and a request that I not ride my bike tonight as planned. Obviously these guys don't train for the Ironman.

So, see you guys at swim in the morning? How fun is that going to be to wake up bright and early? I'll get the happy cup ready to help me with my medication hang over.

Dentists should be burned at the stake.

Damie! Rest up, you'll be fine missing a workout here or there. On the other hand, pain you're use to (i.e. on your bike) might be better than pain in your mouth....
