Update: I can no longer make light of this situation. The nerve is screaming right through the two extra strength Advils I took. I couldn’t even stand until the second one kicked in. I can’t function in any capacity right now. There is no way I could sleep or anything. I wouldn’t wish this pain onto anyone. Oh sweet Jesus this is horrible.
Ow ow ow. My tooth. ow ow ow.
A phrase that keeps repeating in my brain is “children’s chewable morphine.” I’ve been uncharacteristically munching extra strength Advils. The bottle says only take 3 a day. The last one was at 4pm so I should hold out until midnight. I have a feeling I’m going to need them for a few days.
Quoting Dr. Spagnulio after my last visit: “Let’s not kid ourselves here. This was a deep filling.” I’m mad at him.
From some website: A deep filling to restore a deep cavity can injure the pulp. When a pulp is injured, it causes a great deal of pain, and can cause the pulp to die. The nerve and blood vessels then have to be removed from the interior of the tooth, and this is known as root canal treatment.
He injured my pulp! MY PULP!
I thought he was good too (He plays DVDs on the ceiling while you’re on your back. Last time I got to watch the delusional sex scene in Vanilla Sky . Not the reason I think he’s good, just a little tidbit). He was certainly more expensive than other dentists. I should have just went to the fumbling dental school flunkies on campus and saved a grand. Now I’m probably going to have to go back and get an eight hundred dollar root canal.
I found someone on Xanga who irks me too. He makes me puff up and bristle like a Siamese fighting fish. It’s because I see a reflection too close to myself. I want to bite and tear his fins off.

Wow I know exactly how you feel! I’ve been to the dentist and orthodontist’s so many times I’ve lost count. I had my upper jaw moved forward a few months ago, and since the people involved messed something up, I have to get a root canal too!! Personally I think they should be paying for this instead of us since they screwed up in the first place

if you feel like he reflects you and you want to tear his fins out does that mean you hate others that try to copy your likeness or YOU want to be the male dominating species or you just hate yourself?i love the line “He injured my pulp! MY PULP!” it’s very funny.

Awww… your poor pulp. But the DVDs on the ceiling thing… I wonder if you can make requests or bring in your own because that could get very interesting.

If the bastard screwed up your filling, he should certainly pay for the root canal. Of course, that’s in a perfect world. The least he can do is give you a prescription for something to take away the pain in the meantime.

It’s a little better today. It seems to be cold that really sets it off. I hope it’s healing and not dying.
