don't think too much

I was not looking forward  to the dentist trip....knowing i was going to have a root canal....but I kept thinking..this tooth already has a root canal...and when I got to Dr. Lek...sure enough.  They were going to take out the old root canal and put in a new one....if they could.  We took a new ex-ray ..and sure enough... the end of the root canal was a sack of infection and it could not be done.  the sack had to come out.  The extractor would  be there at 5:30....could I come back... bad enough that you get set for the first round but going and coming back really raises the anxiety.    I had dinner... and drove the scooter  back to the dentist.   A very nice woman, with a degree from Germany came in... she did not look like a tooth puller...and she told me several times i am brave...  not  brave..in shock.
with this kind of a tooth.. it might crumble and we will have to cut it out.... oh great.... first a prob  root and then a problem extraction... I asked the universe to help my tooth...and it came out without much problem nor much bleeding.   ordinarily they back the tooth and have you come back but since now will need a new partial plate with two teeth on the right side i am going home...time is of the essence   I suspect my meditation might be out the window since we have until march 9 and he would like many a month.....oh well.  So she popped the temporary crown on...put cotton in my mouth...gave me penicillin  and pain meds and sent me on my way... my next apt is Monday....The best part...   a temporary cap, three dentists, three apt, an partial root canal, three ex=rays...and an extraction   $280.
and I rode the scooter home, had a baked potato and tea...and now I am off to bed.
