julesjonesI am going to the Writer's Weekend workshop in Seattle this weekend. It's a four day effort, so I'm getting on a plane early tomorrow.
I have had ongoing mild dental pain for the last two months or so. Sufficiently mild that it was not at first possible for my dentist to diagnosis it accurately. Even when it started hurting enough a couple of weeks ago to confirm that it was indeed a dying nerve, it wasn't quite certain which tooth it was. I had the choice of have a root canal filling done before I went, when it wasn't quite certain she'd be tackling the right tooth, or leaving it until it got worse, and risk it doing this while I was away. I decided to gamble on leaving it.
It is worse this morning. It is sufficiently worse that I went into the dentist's office as per my instructions of a couple of weeks ago, and she wanted to do something about it this afternoon, even if she can't do the complete job. It is better to open the tooth up now and relieve the pressure than wait until next week and do the whole thing at once. So I'm going to be wandering around for the next week with a half-done root canal filling and a temporary filling. Oh joy... I do hope the food at the con is easy to chew.
